Surprise I ain't heard about it count me in for this year just as long as I don't have to deal with you know who!!
It happens in the contest area of the forum...check in around late November or so and someone will get it started.
Ask, and ye shall receive... https://www.cointalk.com/threads/secret-santa-2013.238614/page-9#post-1833830 Dingaling, hear him ring...
I don't think anybody is surprised, worst part is that he tried for somebody to get him another package via the man who ran the program !!
Mila, what's your eBay ID? I figure that I'll save you the headache of having to argue with me that you don't want to pay for things you win by blocking you from bidding on my items.
Holy cow. Seriously? What a completely rude post to make (not yours, the one you linked). In a season of giving and being thankful, a member opens a package that a stranger sent them as a gifts and has the complete nerve to post a pic that was inappropriate in the situation and say "yawn"' and continue to play it off in an immature way? Disgusting, and just sad.
Are you serious with this? I guess I left this party too early!!! The OP has a winning bid, THEN asks about it here, then decides to just not pay? But WAIT, it is ok, because the seller decided to cancel because he knew his coin not 'A GOOD ONE'?? Can you provide your ebay user name so I can block you??? You think NTC (LOL!) is a respectable grading company? You 'personally disagree as you think you have seen many more of their slabs than most here'??? You don't even know when a coin has issues, but you are good enough at grading to know they are good? Why do you need this forum then? If I were you, I'd take your vast knowledge, forget about us (we'd only slow you down, I guess, huh?), and gobble up those NTC (LOL!) slabs!!! You'll be able to cherry pick the 'great' coins they slab....gee, maybe you should submit some of the 'winning' raw coins you buy...oh, wait, you don't, you just don't pay after winning. What you SHOULD do is crack out those awful, dreadful, overgraded NGC and PCGS coins and send them to NTC (LOL!).....that sounds like the best idea!!! Oh, again, before you do that, kindly provide your ebay user name so I can block you? Wait, it probably won't matter, as I don't sell damaged coins, NOR do I sell NTC (LOL!). I'm sure we'll see your World Class NTC (LOL!) Collection' in CoinWorld....as how NOT to buy coins. Know-it-all newbies that shoot first and ask questions later...each one seems to get more arrogant, quicker, than the one before, then blame the forum membership! Hopefully, this one will buy enough NTC (LOL!) graded coins that he runs out of money buying that crap, and has no need for a coin forums help.
Well, some of MAY have miserable lives (only because you've entered it), but most of us can tell when a coin is dinged up without having to ask. But, if you stick to those NTC (LOL!) coins, you won't have those problems!!! But, I'm guessing he isn't around now, to read this...at least not as a signed in member. What a dashing blow this forum. Will we EVER be able to regroup and carry on without him???
