<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 3419809, member: 91461&quot;]With some recent posts about sub par customer service from certain auction houses, I thought I would take the time to tell a story of mine of a most impressive interaction with Spink!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>A while ago I had asked my CT friends what was a good book to purchase as I start my journey of collecting early English coins (I only have a handful at this point, though have some very early ones awaiting export permission soon to be on the way <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). [USER=74968]@Orfew[/USER] and [USER=87080]@TheRed[/USER] had my back and recommended me getting the Spink catalog. I, being financially &quot;shrewd&quot;, found a decade old copy on Amazon. I had been using it for a bit as I decided where to begin (why, the beginning, duh Ryro) when this curious little offer fell out...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]907577[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]907580[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Double sided coin puzzle?!?!?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie100" alt=":wideyed:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Immediately saddened by the fact that I was about a decade late to redeem the offer, I listened to my wife (the only good ideas I have come from her <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) who said I should reach out to them and see if they still might have any laying around.</p><p>I did just that, letting them know what had happened and pressing my luck that a king Henry VIII puzzle might be kicking around, and got a response! </p><p>Though, apparently, Hank the 8th was out, they said: </p><p>&quot;Many thanks for your email. We have two jigsaws left in stock – the Charles 1 Triple Unite and Petition Crown. Would either be of interest?&quot;</p><p>Simply amazing!!! If I am 1 day late with a coupon to jiffy lube or great clips there is nothing they can do for me. Spink however is offering me a choice, that&#039;s called class right there folks <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie77" alt=":pompous:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p>I responded, &quot;Thank you so much. surprise me.&quot; To which they did...again!</p><p>I received the package yesterday, having forgotten all about it, and opened it to find:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]907583[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>They had sent me both and their&nbsp; simply BEAUUUUUUTIFUL Spink Insider!!!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie83" alt=":singing:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I had a great time <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> with my oldest (the 3yo, my twins are 1 and would have simply eaten the little golden pieces) putting together a near foot around puzzle of Charles I (son of Mary queen of scots!).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]907590[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]907591[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll post the other when time provides.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you very much to the fine folks of Spink<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]2r9UtIhOI8M[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>Please, post any positive surprises that you have received, above and beyond service or anything you deem relevant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
