    I bought a Ganesha Silver Temple Token today from the below seller. I thought it was in line with what I'm doing with my token collection, which is I'm changing direction a bit. ;) Also, the seller is a bit gruff but I find it humorous. :happy: If you read his description, you'll see what I'm talking about. :D I'm changing my collection to include amulets. Anyone here collect amulets? The copper one below is an amulet, just to show what an amulet is. ;) I was really surprised to see the new amulet forums popping up online that's part of the reason I brought it up, there's quite a few! :D Oh, anyone knows what the NR stands for on the reverse of Ganesha? Anyone?

    Never bought from this seller, but I'm amused. Despite his cantankerous manner, all of his policies seem perfectly reasonable. I think he's just tired of selling to unreasonable cats, dogs and children pretending to be rational adults.

    I’ve bought from that seller before and everything was straightforward. His description section is amusing and is a reflection of what one might experience (in certain cases) on eBay if they stick around and have many sales.

    And I don’t know anything about it, but that looks to be a cool token! Nice purchase!

    I have bought from him on more than one occasion--honestly I must not read his descriptions anymore and he must have added that since I first started checking out his auctions. Or, he's expanded it anyway, I would have remembered some of that commentary.

    Never had any reason to return anything so I missed out on his commonly asked question/answer of 'why are you so mean'. Pretty much says what a lot of people are probably thinking :D.

    In any case, he's a straight up seller as far as my experience has been. He's on my not very long list of saved sellers in fact.

    Here's an amulet I bought, it's supposed to give me a long successful life, hopefully it works as I need all the help I can get! j/k :D Even though I don't know the language that's ok by me, it just goes in the magician part of my token collection. ;) Sellers pics, thought I would point that out before someone says, "wash your hand dude!" :D

    Yes, I have bought from him before. Never noticed that highly amusing list of odds and ends under description. Guy has some talent as a writer! I never had any problem with this seller. I paid my money and he sent my stuff, bingo, nothing to it.
