ACSearch - Interesting Email

+1 At my stage of life and collecting I am able to accept the fact that I will miss some nice coins and can find more than I can afford without worrying about the politics. Will the hobby fail completely soon and I'll not be able to buy more coins? I'd worry about that more were I younger. I prefer old collection coins to new hoard material and there currently are plenty of US dealers bringing in coins without my having to do so directly so I don't feel the need to save the world.

Big dealers don't care about my small purchases or those of a thousand small fish like me. It seems good to select your sources from those whom you trust and respect. There have been many reasons to lose respect (fakes, tooling, etc.) and now we have another.

I received the same e-mail. I do not know what is happening, but German laws seems like a good guess. I was able to find a couple of coins from the excluded list in a search this morning.

 

I thought you could block both ways on ebay. Block annoying people from bidding on your items and block yourself from seeing search results from certain sellers. I've blocked buyers who were petty but never blocked myself from seeing items that match my search terms.

 

"Verrry Interesting..." but not nice.

 

When someone buys a four dollar damage described item with free shipping and claims additional damage and threatens negative feedback to extort a three dollar refund you don't want to do business with them again. Life is too short. If they then use a different computer name to bid on your stuff and get caught ebay bans them for life. That would be not nice but not my call and not my problem or as I like to say not my circus not my monkeys.
