How do you report a thread in the for sale section

How do you report a thread (to the mods) in the "For Sale" section which you believe to be fraudulent? I don't see a "report it" button anywhere.

I am sure I know exactly which item you are talking about, but I don't know how to report it either..

 

Send Peter a PM?

 

Really? So I can sell my 1913 V nickels here?

There has got to be a line somewhere...

 

Thank you for the instruction & buyer beware comment. It's too bad we can't keep scammers out of the new CT sales & trades forums. I'm curious & haven't read any rules but if someone burns a CT member, will they get banned from CT?

 

All RIGHT!! I have some ubber-rare 1903-CC Morgans I've been looking to sell.

 

Is that the for sale item in which the seller states that they're "scared to death to send it anywhere"? But they'll send it to you.......

 

That would be the one...

 

Just like eBay... but of course they have the self appointed overseers of all "coins bad", the infamous CFe group.

 

I think there is a little triangle "!" button on the bottom left of the post.

 

How about feedback...any plans for feedback? I suppose that would be redundant...we can always slam them in the Forum. :3three:

 

Now that's quite an overstatement.

I completely agree that you can't definitively state that a coin is genuine without seeing it in hand, but do you really believe that when I saw a coin advertised on EBay as a Meiji 1 (1868) Japanese "Trade Dollar" I couldn't definitely state that it is a fake, even though the first Japanese milled coins weren't issued until 1870, the first Japanese Trade Dollars weren't issued until 1875, and the one advertised had the reverse of the ¥1 coin first issued in 174?

 

I completely understand that coin talk wants to stay out of the transactions of its members. I have no problem with that whatsoever. However, just like we have MODs who make judgment calls and “police” the forums there would be nothing wrong with someone doing that. We have plenty of experienced collectors and dealers on this forum; I would even go so far as saying we have experts on certain series. We know when we see something sketchy, and there is no problem with a mod removing it or sending the poster a PM. I am not advocating that coin talk take responsibility for the actual transactions or any outcome from such transactions. It’s not like this is a big issue there is only 1 add we are talking about and I don’t see it becoming an epidemic in the future.

 

No one likes to see obvious or even suspicious ads listed, but CT should not get involved. In fact, their option should be to simply eliminate this feature all together. Anyone sticking their neck out, on behalf of others, is just facing lots of legal problems. Leave it to just comments in the forum and we are all better off.

 

Now that doesnt seem fair to the 99% of people who are honest. Ok, 75%.

 

The few CT folks I've met in person are people of high character with whom I have no hesitation doing business. I'm sure most CT folks are cut from the same cloth.

My concern is that CT is an open forum and it's easy for ill-intended individuals to figure out what people have, where they store it, and where they live...especially after mailing coins and money back and forth. Perhaps that hasn't been a problem, but I wouldn't be surprised (God forbid!) to hear of a CT home invasion. Of course, I've bought quite a bit from eBay Sellers that use their home address as their return address and nothing seems to have happen to them...but I wouldn't do it!
