BREAKING NEW ABOUT TELETRADE!!

I don't like the whole "over 1,25o years of experience" it sounds snotty.

 

I guess I saw this coming, but I shure hope that the combination of the three companies won't drive up prices too much. I always found TTs auction prices very reasonable and in line with market prices. Stacks auctions, on the other hand, have always seemed high.

 

They can call the site whatever they want, until they lower the ridiculous buyer fee and fix the bid system, I won't touch them.

 

Arrrrrrgggggg! I hate it when people do weird stuff like this.

 

I sure hope that you are right about the prices Doug. When I say that Stacks always seemed high to me, I am talking about the buyers of course. It just seemed that Stacks would always have a large portion of the high dollar buyers in the croud there for some of the show stopper coins. There is no way that I can, or will try to, outbid buyers like Steve or Lee. Two entirely different worlds of buyers.

 

we could always start our own auction house

 

Let's get Detecto on that right away.

 

So does this happen immediately? I guess Teletrade certainly anticipated it this year by matching the Stack's buyer's fee.

I'll monitor the Teletrade site and see what changes occur and when. I guess something had to happen, because TT seemed to be in some trouble and unable to maintain itself in its current model. Let's see if it improves things. But now I don't see much of a change.

 

First off, couldn't you have said this in the same post as the one where you pasted the letter?

Secondly, you forgot the operative word of "combined" and replaced it with "over," thereby completely misrepresenting what was actually said.

They have a combined 1250 years of experience among their staff. That's not a false statement. Saying they have "over 1,250 years of experience" (as you stated it) is a false statement.

 

Who cares if he made a second post!? Does it hurt you that much?

 

Nothing against Detecto or North Korea but maybe it makes his head hurt?



I'm just being silly.

And maybe eBay too?

 

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. I practice and disgrace myself most notably and most often...........

 

What I meant was, saying "over 1,250 years" seems rather braggy.

 

Heck, I knew what you was sayin' Tim....... And that kind of 'speak' always turns me off. Overkill as far as I'm concerned..............

 

At Least Bowers and group did say 'combined ' 1250 years of experience. Detecto quoted the whole letter, and then when he brought up one portion , he not only misquoted it once, he did in two posts removing combined for 'over'.

And I must admit that some of my best coins came from Bowers and Merena's shop. Yes, they were higher than the average mail order firms, but they had a unbeatable guarantee/ return policy. I returned a couple of 1972/72 doubled dies until I was satisfied. If Bowers is involved in the grading /cataloging process, I will be an interested reader.

Sometimes I think that most of the complaints against dealers are from those who could not properly evaluate a coins grade and value themselves, so they have to buy the cheapest 'carp' so if they are wrong ( as usually) , they hope they can eek out a fair percentage. Knowledge is priceless, Ignorance is pricey .

 

Heck. Gotta love what ya just posted there Jim.

 

before you posted this i thought we were going to the scrap alley again

 

well GD has over 10000 years experience by himself, that has never bothered you

maybe we can ask him to tell us how he felt at 1250 and how many coins he got right then
