Re: Fake Desert Shield
I've also noticed people on eBay selling 1991 Topps packs, stating that they might be Desert Shield packs, which is then netting them a ton more money for their regular 1991 Topps packs. These sellers are being deceitful and borderline fraudulent, because they obviously know their packs are just regular ones. I came across… -
Re: Is this a deal, a scam or a "sorry for the misprint"
<< <i> << <i> << <i>(Buyer left neg fb: "This guy's a crook. Used someone else's tracking number. Claims he sent without.") This is the same scam that Dberry reported last month.

<< <i>Hi, Lets get real here!.........If you sell a slab that has scratches and did NOT described as such in your listing then you deserve to have a return................Why not just describe as it is...........will it cost you ten or 20 dollars ??.....and if it is that bad why didn't you send it back and have it… -
Re: Prices Realized at Auction vs. Prices Asked on the BST Forum
One other valid consideration is Heritage and many other auction venues have fees that are now 10% - 30% and you often do not get your proceeds from an auction sale very fast. Heritage closed results as well vary, many will say an item sold on a given day at heritage for a price. The same coin often will be sold later for… -
Re: Ebay sale where buyer requests seller to ship to a different address UPDATE
A few items to update. After telling buyer we were done, I received several emails, among them, this.... DEAR SIR__WE ARE NOT DONE!! You quoted the word "honor" when you originally accepted my offer and moneys--you have acted dishonourably and are in my opinion a disgrace to your nation. Sadly i will have no alternative… -
Re: OK, time to put up or shut up
In this environment, I don't any concerns about the price of gold. It's not about charts or momentum. It's not about short term trading and stop orders. The price is an artifact. The psychology in the markets can't be good for most assets, but I think that gold is less susceptible than most assets are. Based on gold's… -
Re: Ebay virus has mutated again!
The 1857 Half above has been amateurishly colored with bleach too.. I suspect that Ebay has far more people that are either scammers or/and completely ignorant when it comes to buying and/or selling coins. Most buyers burned on Ebay are burned by there own ignorance and/or greed. If it's too good to be true it probably is.… -
Re: Do you think luck plays any role in coin collecting?
Yes, there is some element of luck. Coin collecting mostly involves skill, but sometimes luck does come into play. Meeting the right dealer or collector when a person is new to the hobby is often times luck. Those first few experiences will often play a large role in how well a person does in the hobby. For example, at my… -
Re: The Bill Ripkens I'll never own :(
<< <i>That's an amazing piece there... I'd totally wait him out until he just says screw it and posts it low with no reserve. You're the only person I know who deserves to own that piece. It's funny, still to this day I always stare at the clock when it reads 6:16. It's kind of a lucky number for me now! I'll stare at the… -
Re: Midwest Collectors - How is the economy affecting the hobby?
I'm not in the Mid-West, but, pre-Katrina, gas in my area was about $2.30. Now I can find it for about $2.60, and it's been decreasing steadily. Even at that price, if I go out for lunch one less time per week, that pretty much covers the difference. Any effect on my hobby purchases? None whatsoever. If anything is driving…
