    Hello,

    I hope this is the right forum to post this (I apologize if not).

    I'm just getting back into active coin collecting after a number of years away due to the economy. I had a coin dealer I used a lot through the mail but the last coin listing I got from him was dated February 20, 2008.

    Is there anybody out there who bought coins from a Ken Madison in St. Pete Beach, Florida and if so is he still active? I tried calling the number in his coin list with a 24 hour answering machine and got what sounded like a FAX line.

    Thanks very much.

    I can symphathize with you. At one point, I was working with a baseball card dealer.

    He was sending me a set number of cards each week and I would then pay.

    At some point, it stopped happening.

    I don't know why. But he has disappeared off the face of the earth as far as Google is concerned.

    I guess I'm saying that "Stuff happens".

    Looks like he's out of business.

    The very first hit for a Google of "Ken Madison Coins" is this thread; so he obviously doesn't have a coin dealer website. "Ken Madison Florida" is also a dead end.

    I always hate bringing up this possibility but when your old it is the first thing I think of when someone just vanishes. So far every time I loose contact with someone I eventually find out they have passed away. However, in your instance for a person in buisness, hopefully they just retired.
