<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3180494, member: 19463&quot;]I am one of those who has purchased some coins I like from High Ratings and failed to negotiate deals on others.&nbsp; Every so often I try again if I see something I want but you never know whether it is something he will sell or just a game piece for his business plan.&nbsp;&nbsp; Similarly, there are several dealers who place prices on their personal collections that should guarantee they don&#039;t sell but pretending to be a dealer is more important to them than actually being one.&nbsp; It takes all kinds.&nbsp; I often wonder why some of us abusive regulars bother coming here but the fact remains that most of us find Coin Talk to be the best of the few options out there and we have friends here that we will not likely ever see in person considering where we live.&nbsp; Contrary to your statement, we do welcome new friends but we have had several run ins with trolls who joined Coin Talk (some with multiple ID&#039;s) for the expressed purpose of making trouble.&nbsp; If you are interested in the coins and have things to discuss about your coins or about those posted by others,&nbsp; welcome.&nbsp; How many threads have you read/participated in other than this one?&nbsp; Will you be a regular and friend or are you the latest iteration of the last troll?</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry the poster with 500 posts offended you.&nbsp; I note you ignored the question about who called the coins fake that was posted by one of our real (9000 extra meaty posts) regulars who was trying to help.&nbsp; Of this entire thread, the most valuable post IMHO was #20 by our &#039;40 distinquished posts regular Andrew&#039; who is known to most of us from other places.&nbsp; He told how to buy from High Ratings using the exact techniques that I have on the few coins I have from him. My only difference is I agree with 2000 post extremely helpful regular Valentinian&#039;s number of ten times reasonable rather than Andrew&#039;s four.&nbsp; Andrew also mentioned the &#039;Ignore&#039; feature on CT which does come in quite handy.&nbsp; Enjoy using it if you decide to play with our primadonnas.&nbsp; Since I&#039;m not clear on why I am here, I can hardly question why you are when you have already written us off as losers.&nbsp; Will you ignore me or I you?&nbsp; Will we come out of this poor start and benefit from the experience? </p><p><br /></p><p>To follow the &#039;rule&#039; to keep things coin related, This is my most recent $46 new add from Frank Robinson.&nbsp; It is an Augustus of Amphipolis showing Artemis riding a bull.&nbsp; The glossy patina makes it hard to photograph.&nbsp; What would High Ratings ask?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]819535[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
