<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BNB Analytics, post: 708005, member: 20117&quot;]Hi forum,</p><p><br /></p><p>Today I come to each and every one of you sitting at home or at work at your computer screens with a very striking and interesting deal that I just made for a coin worth over $1000.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will not state the name of the coin nor will I state the amount I paid. It really doesn&#039;t matter to you, it&#039;s just the schematics and workings of this deal that I believe does.</p><p><br /></p><p>Okay, here goes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw coin (A) on ebay 3 days ago and bargained with the dealer to get it for a few hundred off its suggested price. I basically bought this coin at grey sheet bid.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, I got my seller generated receipt via my gmail account and deposited xxx amount into his company bank account.</p><p><br /></p><p>FYI, I have this guy&#039;s phone number, his business address(which is confirmed by police to be a legitimate operating business) so let me just make that clear real quick.</p><p><br /></p><p>Okay, the money was sent. The seller and I had fast communication. 1:1- for every message I sent I&#039;d get one back within 15 minutes usually.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, after I sent the money. The message back and forth ratio became 6:1, 7:1 etc. Yikes! I thought I just got ripped! Why isn&#039;t the guy answering me like he used to? Messages from me like, &quot;Did you receive my payment?&quot; etc were all unanswered until I kept messaging him more he finally wrote back.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I can call this dealer up any time and talk to him. At least that&#039;s the idea I have because he&#039;s not hard to reach(so far)..</p><p><br /></p><p>But, I just don&#039;t know forum. I&#039;m a little worried.</p><p>My mom gave a cashier&#039;s check for a high amount for a rolex watch once and was scammed. The guy that scammed her didn&#039;t have 1700+ positive feedback and an actual business, but still, she went around paypal and lost her money.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did kinda the same thing. I didn&#039;t go through paypal to avoid fees for the seller. Which as an ebay seller, I understand how that can be a concern.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I also found out that he is having this item drop shipped to me through another dealer in Florida. I thought he actually owned the item at his store but I guess not. That&#039;s something we always have to ask, &quot;Do you own the item currently?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So, forum, what do you think? I have lots of paperwork on this issue as well. I&#039;m sure the optimists will say wait a week(since seller&#039;s e-mail to me does say this process can take 2-16 days) and the pessimists will say call the police or worry.</p><p><br /></p><p>To boot, I also bought an 11 dollar item THROUGH paypal from this guy just so I have something on record that I bought from him.</p><p><br /></p><p>I need a realistic opinion folks, nothing too fluffy or doom and gloomy, help a brother out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p><br /></p><p>BNB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
