<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2268775, member: 36230"]"Keeping notes"? Please.... Detecto, oops, I mean Sully; don't flatter yourself. I'm going to let you in on a little secret here.. most people have this thing called a "memory" which allows them to recall things said from one thread to the next. Should I have forgotten that I saw your ADVERTISEMENT posted on this very forum, or perhaps I should simply erase from memory past threads/discussions regarding your little business? When mentioning that a member was selling a jar, I didn't give the person's username, so this all would be a non-issue had you not thought it a fine idea to out yourself. Sometimes, like it or not, it's best just to keep ours mouths shut instead of jumping face first into a hole.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, you certainly do not need to do anything I (or anyone else) suggests; you're the six months "expert" here, Sully, and everyone else just a bunch of idiots who have certainly never been in your lofty shoes before. None of us have ever sold a coin, on ebay or anywhere else, so how would we know anything? You're the first guy who has ever come up with the revolutionary idea that he can buy coins, sell coins, and make money, so you just keep doing what you do best. Keep relisting this "old jar" you haven't bothered to search (har, har) and hopefully someone will bite; after all, no hotshot "dealer" has ever had to eat a bad buy before and neither should you. Waste your precious teenage time opening a jar (oops, "old jar") of coins just to be sure nothing slipped through? Ha! Change your claims from "unsearched" (yes, I do remember) to whatever you think might fly this time. Keep upping your shipping charge; we all know that when something doesn't sell because it's already overpriced, the best thing to so is make it cost more. Do whatever you want, Sully.. like I said, you're the "expert" and I'm sure potential buyers, if only they could read your CT justifications, would certainly see this for what it, ahem, really is. Truth does matter, but perception trumps all; perhaps some day this will make sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was young once too, Sully, and similar to you, I knew everything. There was no reason for me to even consider the advice given by the stupid old fools just trying to help because I knew it all. The funny thing was that in time it became readily apparent that these fools, who had spent twice my then lifetime in this business/hobby, we're all too often right. Fortunately for me, I was lucky enough to realize this before completely screwing myself. Perhaps the same will happen to you, or perhaps not; I couldn't care less if you prosper legitimately or fall on your face. What I will do though, is call a dog a dog when I see it. Good luck to you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
