Negative feedback bidders need not apply...
Came across this text in a seller's auction (all caps are the sellers,
not mine): IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE COIN OR GIVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK PLEASE "DO NOT" BID! This sellers currently (9am EDT) has 171 auctions running, 27 have ACG in the auction title. The above text seems to be in only the ACG titled auctions. Other auctions contain the cautionary warning: IF YOU WANT TO BID AS IF THIS COIN IS ONE GRADE LOWER, PLEASE BID WITH ANOTHER EBAY DEALER WHO IS PUSHING THE GRADES ON THEIR COINS! And yes, this is also the seller who is offering: 1,000 PROFESSIONALLY SLABBED ACG & NGC COINS! with an opening bid of only $15,000! Complete offerings from this person are available at: http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...ort=3&rows=200 Steve Buy the book before the coin don't forget to *READ* the book after you've bought it! It doesn't do anything just sitting on the shelf (remove ATTITUDE to replay via e-mail) |

I have ran a little over 550 auctions this year. I think 80% of my winning bidders have paid using Paypal, and I have not had one instance of a Paypal user not including the postage and shipping fees. I wonder why this seller has a problem to such an extent that it warrants a mention in his description. I might bid on his auctions. I should be ok per his description, as long as I bid as if the coin is two (or more) grades lower than his assigned grade. Actually, that is a very arrogant statement he makes about bidding as though one grade lower. I consider myself honest and ethical, but I would never dream that the grade I place on a coin would be in agreement with everyone or anyone else's grade, or that the grade I assign is THE grade for the coin, regardless of anyone else's opinion. Of course, touting an ACG coin's grade without including your own assessment is not exactly ethical. Somebody needs to get this guy to visit rcc and make a few statements. That sounds like fun.

I wonder why this seller has a problem to such an extent that it warrants a mention in his description. I'd probably guess it's because he doesn't specify the shipping fee in the totals area at the bottom. He states $4.00 shipping in the description, but in the shipping field (that Paypal would use to calculate total cost) shows "Shipping costs will be specified later".

You missed this gem: WE HAVE A RETURN POLICY OF THE BID PRICE ON "RAW" COINS, WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN PROFESSIONALLY GRADED. ON PROFESSIONAL GRADED COINS, WE DO NOT OFFER ANY EXCHANGES OR REFUNDS, AND ASK YOU KINDLY TO BUY THE COIN AND NOT THE "GRADING" SERVICE. THANKS KINDLY, B.H. So, no returns on ACG coins. How convenient... |
