He was buying coins with this account too. Then reselling them at higher grades with misleading pictures. 1921S Walking Liberty. He bought as a VG with a best offer of $100 then sold as a VF for $186.49 Bought here, notice rim dent on left side. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140170170216 Sold Here, same rim dent misleading photos. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160194411879 Heres another one he bought as AU Cleaned, selling as Choice Uncirculated, but it kinda looks dipped to me, but I cant be sure since the seller dosent state that its been dipped, lol. An honest seller would state that fact. Bought here, notice rim dent below date. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230208845354 Currently Selling, notice same rim dent. http://cgi.ebay.com/1830-Capped-Bus...ryZ11969QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Ok check out this one. Theres no picture for comparison, but Im pretty certain its the same coin. Bought it as a VF with porosity, paid $62.78. Sold as an AU and sold for $169.48 Bought here, notice the description says "Light Surface Porosity" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190148314338 Sold here, notice the "Light Surface Porosity" http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160194406931 1806 Draped Bust Quarter. Paid $205, Sold for $423.98. But... when he sold it, it looks to have more details than the last time it was sold. Notice the new details in the Eagles right wing, Libertys nose and eye, the last two letters in the word liberty. Poor pictures for comparison, I know. But it is the same coin, notice the wear at the rim, 5th star up on the left side. Also, make note of the doubling of the last A in America. Bought here, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160172789059 Sold here, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190164357610 OOOHH!!!! Heres a good one. 1912S Liberty Nickel. Bought this one as XF/AU Cleaned, paid $583.83. Sold for $1143.49 as an Uncirculated Slider. Notice the discoloration in front of Libertys forehead. And the same slightly off center strike. Bought Here. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110181776941 Sold Here. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160173709910 Oh and see this. The negative feedback you pointed out that got me searching. Buyer, fancy wood left negative feedback and seller had to refund $309.99. But thats ok, seller sold it less than a month later for $335.04. I guess he got a negative, but thats ok, her made more money second time around. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160188707596 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160194415986 Hey Jack, this is alot of fun. This guys more of a lowlife than I realized.
"Follow-up by fancy_wood: kept money 23 days, says will sue me if neg feedback, I have his threat if you" Threatening to sue if negative feedback left. Now THAT'S class!
I'm kickin back on this one guys.....had to cancel a deal on my 14-D from a buyer in NY who bought a bunch of low grade 21 Walkers......a fav of KInGo, I have harrased this " poor " fellow enough, don't need the trouble, but that does not mean you all can't have fun with it. I ended up selling to second bidder in line......much safer Edit: Sell everything, declare no returns, quit business is standard procedure, same MO, has used it for last 3 Ebay ID changes....like Ahnold says....." Ahll be back"
Man, you must have really gotten this guy's goat Jack. But, I doubt he will be gone for long. Phoenix
Can't blame you there Jack but if you spot him again just PM a bunch of us wo we can get the "ugly ball" rolling again. After all why should he hate just you?
You are going to think I'm nuts, but.... Buying coins and reselling at a higher grade because you think they are undergraded is 100% fair and no problem at all, my ONLY problem is cracking out and FAILING to disclose KNOWN professionally found problems...... there is a big differance
Not nuts at all Jack it's like cherrypicking an error. I've done it myself especially with currency. Bought notes that the dealer (most likely a coin dealer with some currency) didn't realize the value of. The difference between what you're talking about vs. what "what's his name" does is that your way involves knowledge and real work.
Jack: As Clembo said: It is like cherrypicking. Some of my cherrypicks: #3 1858/7 Flying eagle cents. #4 or 5 1864 L Indian cents bought as plain (no L) Many others, including my favorite: a 1909 S VDB, bought as an 09S, now in an NGC F-12 slab, 09S VDB.
man i lose out so many opportunities coz i am only going for high grade ms coins but i did get some junk silver for you guys to take a look and give your oppinion on
What I meant was, not all coins this guys sells are crackouts....he is also very good at spotting underpriced/undervalued coins and spotting a profitable flip coin. No problem there is what I'm saying. Thats what your supposed to do !!! It is only the deception/crackout predatory tactics that push the envelope between profitable coin flipping and moral and ethical bankruptcy.......
