Major variety finally!!! Grade?

If his history was still searchable you'd see that our buddy showed up maybe 4-5 years ago making similar grand claims before disappearing for a couple of years. Upon his triumphant return he decided to make the same types of claims before again disappearing, so my guess is that he'll be back at it again before too long, even if forced to use a different name. Patience, friend; patience.

Does Rare Tim also operate under another name?

 

I've always been under the assumption that Rare Tim is simply a regular knowledgeable member messing around from a connection they don't normally use for cointalk. People have so many different internet accesses now-a-days (home, phone, work, library, etc), it doesn't take much effort to create alternate accounts which are not trace-able to one's main account. It's very rare for a member, even the most persistently ignorant, to receive so much solid advice while heeding none of it.

Plus, his pictures always felt like they are coming from someone who knows how to operate a camera, but is purposefully framing out of focus. There is a difference. For example, ask someone who knows how to play a musical instrument to play poorly. Then compare that to someone who genuinely doesn't know how to play picking the same instrument up. There is a huge difference. It almost takes effort for the musician to play out of key and rhythm. Whereas the person who has never played before makes random noise.

 

24 page thread, Wow.

 

Hey @BooksB4Coins, thanks for doing my job for me on the thread that got locked down.

I’ll take the next guy that runs on, and on and on...without paragraphs. As you likely noticed, it made absolutely no difference in his next umpteen posts.

BTW, is it often that a thread gets locked?

Steve

 

As long as you take the triggered hypocrites too. The OP was gravy.

As for how often threads are locked, it doesn't happen nearly as often as it once did. Back when the Detecto Show was aired live it was regular occurrence, but usually only after at least 15-20 pages or so (except when he asked for forum to buy him a car - that one went poof rather quickly). Almost every day there was some new nauseatingly stupid thread centering upon whatever just happened to pop into his mind at that very moment, but the entertainment value was truly priceless. The kid was utterly oblivious to pretty much everything, and still somehow managed to be the gift that kept on giving. Good times....

 

Found a Rare Tim in the wild!

 

Change the layout and it would read no differently than a few dozen CT threads over the past few years. As they say: you can't fix stupid.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Walker.

 

I always wonder if people who type that way speak the same way in real life without pausing at all between sentences.

Though I do like calling a coin "the hundred thousand." Gotta find that hundred thousand, yo!

 

Sad some people do not have anything better to do with their lives...

 

I missed one. But oh well, most of you already know my name anyway.

 

Did I ever show you my 1969-S Doubled die?

 

You should have invited to CT. We need some more rare for entertainment...

 

FWIW: There was another troll on CT a few months ago that used the same writing style, wording, aversion towards punctuation (I can't remember the name but it may have been about a 1944 steel cent). I always wondered if that guy was Rare-Tim.

The original Rare-Tim was more articulate in his posts on this thread, but the 1969-S DDO and crappy pics that TypeCoins shared from another Board sure sounds like him.

I agree with @Dave Waterstraat . You should have invited him back to CT

 

The writing style is tells me they are not the same at all. That is why I said I found A Rare-Tim, not THE Rare-Tim

 

yawn

 

Not another thread about a 1969-S LMC DDO!

 

Thankfully RareTim is rarely here anymore

 

He either sold the small hoard of 1969-S DDO for a small fortune and is living in the Caribbean or he's trolling CT under a different username. I'm not sure which
