Re: Where do YOU draw the line ...

<< <i>There is no one fixed "magic" number or percentage. In general better than 99% is good, better than 99.5% is preferable and anything below 98% is suspect -- at first glance. Even then, sometimes people with a good percentage may have a lot of "negative positives" from people either afraid to retaliate or who clicked… -
Re: Re: The banning of Louie from OUR Club's Coin Swap (revisited) See latest posts for current situatio
Well, well...just got another report on Louie. Seems he's trying to slip the banana to a genuinely nice member here....mojoman. According to what I've been told, Louie was sent some really nice coins from this kind hearted soul and in true Louie fashion he sent out some OK coins and some problematic junk. When asked about… -
Re: Garage Sale Visit: Notice a 1893-S Dollar..What do you do?
<< <i>This actually happened to me... sort of. About 20 years ago, I was able to buy a box of coins at a garage sale for $40. $40 was a lot of money to me back then, but there were a few coins in the box that I KNEW were worth more, so I dashed home, begged mom for the cash, and bought the box-o-coins. Inside was an AU… -
Re: BAD "BUYER" OR NOT? ........ISSUE RESOLVED THANKS
I'm with Onebamafan on this one. Terms are stated, buyer never paid or communicated, deserves a NPBA. I give buyers 15 days to pay. No reminders are ever sent, as they receive an invoice from ebay now when the auction closes, and get one from me too. Two invoices are plenty. A seller shouldn't have to ask or reach out to… -
Re: Would any of you favor a PCGS grading designation for some problem coins?
yes and that is why they should put a grade to it, sometimes pics are very hard to inlarge or see, so if like its a VF put that grade and note the problem to. i can see that this just opens the door for scammers. sending in know bad coins and get them slab Genuine .and pass on the bad coin to new collectors . and get a… -
Re: How to report stolen scans for sale on ebay??
I hope this new eBayer is not a scammer--because I bought a PSA card from him last week. His feedback was at zero then, but it was a card I kept getting outbid for in previous attempts, so I thought I would take a chance and get it for cheap from a newbie who wouldn't draw the normal amount of bids. I paid with Payal… -
Re: Managed Payments, When do I see some money?
i get it, joe. anything messing w ones money or vital info is unsettling. i went thru this all a year ago and it was a pain. especially when the calculated rate wasnt being sent and zero help or articles as to why. i didnt even have a managed payments seller dashboard for 6 months. figuring out the percentage was on the… -
Anybody else doing business with new ebay user tamcdonnell?
The transaction I have ongoing with him is setting off a few yellow flag warnings but no real red flags. If 5 other people are having the same issue then red flags will fly... He is a new, 0-feedback ebay user who bought 5 $700 coins with BIN. Good news is he is communicating well. He is having trouble getting Paypal set… -
Re: Why are there no newbies collecting actual coins?
I am not sure this is even related but it might be why we are seeing a lot of error questions and folks thinking about making money and not really trying to “collect”. For some time now, its been my observation on eBay that a number of listings for the 1992 Close AM cents, and some ordinary circulated wheats have been… -
Re: Idle thoughts on a Super Bowl weekend Saturday
I assume that you were talking about the first generation NGC slab. A few years ago NGC offered black insert slabs but they are sufficiently different from the first generation slabs that they can be easily differentiated. A few years ago someone sold on eBay a first generation NGC slab shell with the black inset and label…
