If the coin is graded by PCGS why does the slab lettering say "MCCS" ? One
would think that dealing with a seller with that feedback would not be the
wisest thing to do.

Most of the negative comments complain about Paypal. I didn't see a
single negative that complained about the items bought!

This guy is so obviously a sleezebag that it's almost the bidder's own fault
when they get ripped off. Negatives are to be expected in some quantity,
and how those situations are resolved is frequently more important to me
than how many positives a seller has. I found this exchange particularly
enlightening:

Buyer: poor seller does not respond-2 to 4 wks ship insane-- ship item or
give refund

antiquesdiscount:
LLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE EERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR


Some people hide who they really are so that they can gain your confidence
and take you for all that you have. This guy isn't one of them.

"Papito" spake thusly:

Seeing the seller's response to a negative (such as the one just above)
really aggravates me. That alone would keep me from bidding on anything that
this guy offers. BTW, I'm sitting here wondering what the heck the "BV"
stands for in his "MS65+ 1917 Buffalo Nickel PCGS BV $600.00+ RARE COIN."

Now it's 87.6% feedback... However, he only has a score of 85, so this is
easier to do with a handful of unhappy customers (none the less, not a
good thing). If he had 2000 with 87.6%, I'd think he was a discredit to
eBay sellers. I get upset with high score sellers with less than 99%, even
having 99% at 10,000 is a LOT of complaints.

AHH come on - give him a chance. He does conserve internet bandwith by using
the same photos again and again for similar items - that must be worth
something - no?
