[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3255509, member: 36230"]"Hidden face" aside, and as much as I hate to play devil's advocate in a thread such as this, being a "new member" nor having a "grandfather" story are automatic tells of a scammer, particularly the former. We can rightfully trash this clown (seller) to our little heart's content, but it's also in the best interest of the new who may read this for us not to paint with such a wide brush. There isn't a single person selling coins today, from the most reputable to the greatest shyster, who wasn't new at one time.

You're certainly right with your latest post though: let the buyer beware, but let them also be smart enough not to buy what they do not know or understand.[/QUOTE]
