Message:: [QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2979899, member: 71723"]Well, now that we're up to our eyeballs in cramming words into my mouth I never said, the unofficial official sport of CoinTalk posters, let me say what I DO mean: 1) I BARELY think buying coins on eBay under ANY circumstances (even domestically) is worth the trouble, but very occasionally, for the right coin I can't find anywhere else, I will. 2) International transactions are, for me, the "bridge too far". I just won't do them unless I'm either there, or I'm dealing with a mint directly. Under NO circumstances would I EVER buy ANYTHING from a different country on eBay. No way, no how. Just. Not. Happening. 3) On "The Spruce", the website I referenced earlier, there has been an article on how to avoid getting burned by Chinese fakes. It includes NEVER buying from international sellers who have a few coins, but it's not their main thing - JUST LIKE OUR BUDDY IN QUESTION HERE. He's more into Lesney cars than coins. 4) It doesn't matter WHICH country he's in IF he is either buying Chinese fakes, or taking material, by purchase or consignment, from somebody else who IS buying them. 5) Now, ... let's all go back through this thread and try to find EVEN THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF WHERE I SAID THIS GUY IS A CROOK!!!!!!!! I did say I think the coin is a counterfeit, and I herein say I wouldn't touch it with a 14-foot Albanian. 6) Oh by the way, the OP is not MERELY the OP. He is a MODERATOR on this site and has the implicit trust of the site's owner. 7) You're welcome.[/QUOTE]
