Re: I Wish I'd have...................................So, what do YOU wish you would have done, but didn
Many of you witnessed the one that slipped through my grasp (well, right off my Holey Coin Vest), as the story originally broke here on CU. I just found an update. I think I got about $75 in trade for that coin, if memory serves. Maybe Cladiator has a clearer memory, as he's the one who unknowingly cherrypicked me. We were… -
Re: My sister in law won $1M on a scratch ticket last week. What coin would u buy??
Somewhat off-topic here, but is anyone else worried that winning the money would set you or your family up as targets for not just robbers & scammers & people who would love you not for who you are but for your money, but also for people who (for a much larger lottery winning sum than $500k... lets say the current… -
Re: Now I Remember Why I Quit the Hobby: Ebay
I think you worry too much over eBay, especially as you're just looking to move a few items, not earn a living off of it. Let it slide off your back -- glad your wife is going to be OK. As to how to deal with scammers on eBay; keep your blocked bidder list well up-to-date; offer free shipping (I consider it cost of moving… -
Re: Ebay cops actually busted a scam!! Modern toner$?
I've also had hijacked accounts bid on my auctions and have been cancelled by eBay. It seems they have been at least trying to get something done. ------------------------- Brandon Kelley - Anaconda Rare Coins Thanks for the input. It's interesting to note that the scammers impact sellers as well as buyers. You folks have… -
Re: Friend overcharging on shipping...
<< <i>Guru, There are some very strange things in your journey... If you are actually going to a store of his, then why on earth is he shipping you cards through the mail? Man, what are the odds of you buying a 1989 fleer baseball box, and the very next guy in the store buying the same? This is like a time warp as if when… -
Re: Wire Transfer Question...
<< <i>I just verified with my bank that once money has been wired into my account, it cannot be removed FROM my account with out my express approval.

Re: I think smoebody tried to scam me!
My gut feeling is that he got NARU'ed for shill bidding. Some dealers are too lazy to send images on $100 coins. He probably owns the coin, but just doesn't want to take a lot of time on a relatively small purchase. While I don't subscribe to that logic, it is typical in the hobby. Consider this: if he really wanted to… -
Re: Coin Vault
I assume that is what he meant as well, but improper use of terms contributes to confusion and misunderstandings. I'm sure that many newbies who come here think that the Brinks wrapped rolls are actually Mint wrapped. I know much of the lay public does. Because of that scammers can easily sell Brinks wrapped rolls that… -
Re: Beware - Obvious ebay shill bidding selling 1952 topps PSA
Regardless of the sellers actions, you are still responsible for making good on your bid. Read the fine on the confirm bid screen. The seller would still be responsible for your $2 in damages (assuming that you could/would get a judgement). Please don't assume that EBAY is a reasonable entity. If the guy negs you, it's… -
Re: Does anybody know why mbcoins has been naru'd?
Just FYI~ A NARU isn't always over a negative situation. I requested my own eBay ID be NARU'd a few months back when I suspected someone had gained access to my account (I might have logged in on a "fishing" link sent by e-mail scammers, the penalty for not paying attention to what you're doing and having multiple browser…
