You're not worth being banded.... my point has been made ,so other can judge for them selves....as to what you bring here to the forum....... nothing more than your inventory that is for sale....not for any educational or informative reasons...just profit.
I think you will find many that disagree with you. I encourage anyone reading this to look through my post history and see for themselves that I provide good photos, good information, or ask good questions. You act like it's just your word versus my word which I just find incredibly foolish and short-sighted. Again, anyone can go through my post history and see you are lying in an attempt to discredit me because you simply don't like me. Well, you picked the wrong person to do that with. To make it easier for everyone... here is a link to my post history: https://www.cointalk.com/members/endeavor.60292/ (click on "postings" tab) Go judge for yourself and not let some bitter old man tell you how to think.
I see a theme in your postings. On the first 2 pages there's one about a gentlemen's club, another about your (ahem) "Dong" and one called "R.I.P. Hugh Hefner." Lol!
LOL. What can I say, I also like to have fun I think if more members here did too *cough* paddy *cough*, this place might be a little more exciting.
Well, truth be told, Paddy posts a ton of informative threads and comments. His knowledge on varieties is pretty well unmatched here. So there's that... Now, anyone have a coin to post?
He may very well be knowledgeable. I never said he wasn't. He just started attacking me for no good reason - because I post photos of coins that are also listed in my store (not a good reason to attack someone). I don't think I have been out of line to defend myself and point out the flaws he has with regards to his attitude.
Just got a coupon for $50 off a $100 purchase from the local pawnshop (?!). Guess I'll go see what they've got -- stuff's usually marked up, but with that discount there's surely something that'll be worthwhile. But I guess by definition it won't qualify for this thread.
I suspect Paddy54 is sensitive to the fact that your inventory so often ends up being displayed prominently in posts not under the BST forum. I don't think there's a problem with posting the photos as you do, so long as there is no overt offering of the imaged coins as being merchandise for sale. I will say that the prominence of the link to your website might be as much of an irritant to him (and possibly to others) as anything, as it is sort of "in your face" and, being so bold, it almost feels like it is within the post, but it truly is neither misplaced, nor breaking the rules. I'm not suggesting you necessarily water down the link to your website, but I'll note that, while I could, I do not use a link like that shown below . . . ToughCOINS.com Your past contributions to the site have been informative enough in enough instances that I cannot characterize your membership as being purely for merchandising's sake, but I am just one voice of many. A little food for thought . . . Being a little more sensitive to the perspectives of others may generate more good will than ill will. - Mike
I picked this up on eBay yesterday. It is another under $50 R5 Large Cent ($43.75). This one happens to be the S-99. This is a comp
Nope, the title clearly says "your under $50 purchase". One pawn shop had a 2.5-g .999 gold bar for $129. $50 off would've made it $79, well below melt ($106) -- but I don't know how to authenticate such a thing, much less convince a buyer down the road that it's authentic. But that's all off-topic for the thread, sorry...
@GDJMSP got after me for having a sales link in my signature. Since he is a firm believer that rules should be enforced equally, I think it is best if it is removed.
I recently cherry-picked a decent 1851 (N19) from eBay for $21. Obverse: Die crack from rim, through 4th star, to center of nose, then through the top of eye. Reverse: Heavy diagonal grooves behind ON[E] within wreath. 1851-N19 by yakpoo posted Feb 11, 2018 at 8:51 PM 1851-N19 by yakpoo posted Feb 11, 2018 at 8:51 PM
