<p>[QUOTE="USS656, post: 1067588, member: 6641"]You may or may not be right, we will never know. Anyone that has left less than positive feedback on almost 5% of his transactions is not someone I would want <u>ever</u> buying from me and I do not care how much he is willing to spend. Pilkenton's pictures could have been better (but they were still adequate in my opinion), his sales pitch alone would have run me off, and no return policy always stops and makes me wonder. If his story is how he described it, then he was treated unfairly IMO. I wouldn't be too fast to chastize him because we do not know the facts. Advice was in order, giving the guy a tongue lashing just doesn't seem appropriate. I know you probably didn't mean it but it read that way, at least to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>With a slabbed coin (PCGS or NGC) can you go to either of the two and look at better photos under the slab ID? I do not subscribe to either so I do not know. If this guy is buying gold on ebay I would hope he is sophisticated enough to do this if it is available. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as I'm concerned this guy is bad news to the small time seller that just wants to try and sell a few pieces here and there. These are the types of sellers I want on ebay because that is where I am more likely to find a gem at a reasonable price. I do not sell very often but he is somebody I have blocked for any future auctions. I am glad Pilkenton is improving his auctions, he will probably have better results on the cash side by doing so. I'll stick with my signature line on this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
