<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 3630733, member: 84595"]Hi. You have seen it mentioned here about Statutes of Limitation. Be wary of time. I don't know what your agreement was as to time to sell the lot of coins but if it was 30, 60, 90 days by agreement, I would suggest you demand the return of the slabbed coins that are unsold after this time.</p><p> It sounds like you have kept a paper trail in good order. I would notify the dealer that he has 30 days to return the unsold items and pay for all items sold. If there is no response after 30 days, I would send out another certified letter informing the dealer he has 7 days from receipt (send it return receipt so it must be signed for) to return the coins and make payment. Inform him if he fails to do so, YOU will file criminal charges against him. Inform him the account must be paid in full. </p><p> File a complaint with the Attorney Generals office in his home state, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Department of Justice in California. Also file one in you state but your state might not be able to do much. Notify the Police Department in his home City and yours of your issue. This is theft. Notify the District Attorney in the County his business is in and your District Attorney. And don't let them tell you it's just a Civil Matter. You also have an interstate crime issue. </p><p> I did something similar in a counterfeit coin case. The dealer was stubborn and got 2 years and I got restitution. He committed a Federal Crime. Notify as many organizations as you can with the certified slab numbers. Pursue Criminal Charges and restitution ordered by the court. Only stubborn dealers want to spend time in jail. </p><p> A PA dealer is going through the same issue over a $50,000 sale. He is going through the District Attorneys office in PA. </p><p> Since the crime started in your state, the dealer can be extradited to face charges. Where theft or any resemblance of theft is involved, I always go the criminal route first. Theft, passing bad checks, anything that could be criminal, I move forward as a criminal complaint. Just remember your Statute of Limitations both criminally and civilly. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
