Re: Was wondering how to get started with placing my coins for sale ?
Go to the BST (Buy, Sell, and Trade) Forum. Post some quality pics of what you are selling. Price what you are selling. Interested parties will contact you by PM. Since you are new here, be prepared to ship what you are selling prior to getting paid for it. We've had some scammers come here who sold coins and then… -
Re: Opinion on buying from pawnshops?
Pawn shops or antique stores tend to overprice their coins - significantly!! Some will negotiate, most will not. I make one reasonable attempt if I am interested in an item... If stonewalled, I just walk away. No sense in haggling with those who are either uninformed, scammers or some combination. Cheers, RickO -
Re: Anyone see this story about BGS?
hadn't seen the article but heard all about it. didn't give it full attention as i don't really have much in bgs slabs to begin with but not a bad idea to share and get the word out. crazy to think that scammers would put that much effort into something and then overlook a simple "." -
Re: Paypal question -
<< <i> << <i>Please send the paypal to your agent and instruct him to bring cash. Thanks >> DING DING DING...that is all you need to say and I guarantee it will be your last communication with the scammer! >> This is the perfect answer regardless of whether it's a scam or not.

Re: Great Customer Experience
Not to rain on the parade, but since you brought up errors, scammers, and ebay - Dont follow this too closely, but my recollection was that a couple of years ago the Chinese mints were churning out simulated error coins. That seems like it might have died down, is that your observation? -
Re: Warning to bullion sellers on ebay
Ebay is a buyers market for sure. I've sold several times on it before and never had any issues. However, nothing was that expensive. I would never sell gold or anything high value for the reason listed above. There only has to be 1 scammer to put the hurt on you. -
Re: NPBs. Is it ok to add their names in item descriptions to warn others?
Regardless of the answers to your questions here....there are so many NPBs....that offering a list or combining a list from others would probably reach the post character limit and then some. NPBs are a fact of life at this point. Scammers on the other hand, that is where information exchange may be more useful. -
Re: Posted some coins on Craigslist for sale to see how bad it is...
It's really not that hard to figure out what a PCGS coin is....and then find their price guide. The owner of such coins would quickly realize there are thousands of dollars there. Do the CL's scammers really think it's that easy to buy slabbed PCGS coins for 10C on the dollar? Raw coins are another issue though. -
Re: Anyone done business with ebay ID: srm128
If you check VCP the exact Mantle card just sold in Huggins auction 9/30/09 for $13,200. At $14,500 BIN for the Mantle and Mathews lets just say it's an odd way to make a living. Good thing he has certs blocked to keep scammers away. -
Re: OK, Who Here is Going to Fork Over $20 For the New Coin World Wrapper?
Coin World blew it. If security were a concern due to the Coin mag arriving unprotected, you wouldn't be a current subscriber due to their current "unprotected" policy. If CW offered a "pay a little extra and we won't include the full-page scammer ads," I'd consider resubscribing.
