Frank and Reid quoted in COINage article on eBay fakes

Reid Goldsborough and I, along with Barry Stuppler and several other
collectors and dealers, were quoted in an excellent three-page article
on Ebay fakes on page 46 of the July 2009 issue of COINage. In
addition, I supplied six photos to COINage, including two used on the
cover, of unmarked fakes offered on eBay from Chinese sources.

I certainly hope this article will increase pressure on eBay to ban
sales from known counterfeiters, and stop placing penalties and bans
on people who are trying to warn others about fakes.

Does the article explain why you have been suspended from eBay and had
your auctions cancelled numerous times?

I thought that COINage had went bankrupt and folded after the original
founder died a few years back. It's NOT available on the newstands
hereabouts anymore.

Sad indeed what hatred can do to a man's (senti)mental world...

You know, between e-bay (for world coins and historical medals and
general books) and Amazon and Borders.com (both for books), the
internet makes my life quite a bit better. Not only do I seem to save
money, but more importantly, I learn about items that I didn't know
existed in the first place. Also, it seems to me that e-bay and
Amazon and borders.com do force the local coin dealers and the local
bookman to price more competitively. In the course of collecting
coins since the late 1960s, I've only bought two and one-half or three
fakes (all gold), and they were all purchased from local dealers, not
e-bay. Are the folks at e-bay haughty??? Maybe (and I really didn't
like their former CEO Meg Whitman). Is e-bay a great resource???
Yes.

Borders of course seems to be in a death spiral. This is too bad.
