[QUOTE="ACE Mike, post: 3611921, member: 26383"]Hi everybody! I posted this here and in another forum looking for advice. In a nutshell, here is what happened. I shipped a group of slabs to a long time (since the 1970's) dealer to sell for me, which he did. I have been paid for 13 of the slabs. The other 88 - nothing! It has been 11 months. I call every week and always get excuses and apologies and promises that payment will be forthcoming. But after 11 months I am ready to consider the coins stolen. Total of 88 slabs with an agreed upon value of $95,660. Anybody else had something like this happen and how did you proceed? I have already contacted the Numismatic Consumer Alliance and Numismatic Crime Information Center though I have not heard back from either yet. Also considering the ANA mediation service. Of course a lawyer is one avenue to pursue but of course that is super expensive. I have been in contact with numismatic lawyer Lyn Stevens though. Thanks for any advice you can send my way![/QUOTE]
