PCGS rant, rave or WTH?

Make that two threads down and long gone.
He some how has kept member status though.

I mean, TOUGHcoins gave him solid advice in the final message of the thread, but I suppose all the F bombs and delusions were just too much.

 

I'll guess that will change. I'm sure he had warnings from the mods.

 

That thread went so fast that I am not sure a mod had the chance to give warnings.
We will see soon enough though.

 

Honestly, how could someone blame everyone else for their own misunderstanding and mistake? Oh wait...

Dang, I just ordered a pizza to watch the fireworks

 

Nope. His profile got nuked

 

At this point, I wonder how long it'll be before another burner account posts the same baseless grievances.

 

He’s so oblivious to the truth, he won’t give up. New profile probably being created as we speak.

 

He might if he gets a scary cease and desist letter

 

I'll bet PCGS already ordered a copy of his book.

 

I think he's got us figured out guys! Now let's go cash our giant PCGS checks and have cigars and brandy in the lounge.

 

Sounds like I picked a terrible time to go do anything else other than wait for his next post.

 

I was actually waiting for his profile to get nuked before the thread, Also pretty amazing that we all kept our cool, That does not include @baseball21 he tends to always speak in unarguable terms. Being acrimonious we aren't all that much the TPG hater's as you might think.

I for one see their duty in the numismatic world and will use them one day. Do they have their faults? I think if we took a toll the answer would be YES, But do I hate them NO.
Please put me on the same line as @CamaroDMD

 

I know this is an old thread/post, with a recent post that kept it open. I just suggest you might read/digest some "food for thought".

I sell the majority of my estate as an old man in his final days on this planet. I sold 700 stated 90% PM coins yesterday, without a post image, for a large 4 figure sum, to an individual who had never owned this type of coin, but had completed thorough cost analysis. This was a normal transaction for me.

I guarantee that the coins are priced below any legitimate source they can locate, and will meet/exceed the A.N.A. illustrated standard, of which I include a copy for every purchased item.

I have been had by the best, including Heritage with their creative sales techniques, where I reversed the sale, but have been forever banned from Sellers sites. BOO-HOO!

Buyers are warned I've a "back-up" by a retired officer, not present with me, but prepared on site.

The beauty of Craigslist is that you can view every coin before the transaction is complete, when a return policy is guaranteed on site.

The majority of my clients are relatively young inexperienced individuals who retain anonymity while realizing a true bargain not based on trickery/lies.

It is virtually impossible to reverse an internet transaction with an uncooperative Seller, who knows that there's virtually no avenue for recompense.

JMHO

 

I've sold on craigslist and on eBay - I'm not as sophisticated a collector or seller as you, but I do like that you don't pay seller fees or have to ship with local craigslist sales - the first meeting is a bit awkward for me - I insist on meeting at a police station, court house or post office and I'm very careful about who I will meet - I want name and address in advance and I do a little internet sleuthing. It's nice that they can inspect the coins and I can put the counterfeit detector marker on the bills in a safe environment for both of us. Typically I wound up meeting my buyers at a local courthouse and we could sit on benches in an empty hallway or step into a little conference room to conduct business. I would definitely do that again but I did get a lot of scammers trying to get me to cash or accept fake cashiers checks / money orders. No thanks, cash only and I'll be checking those for counterfeits, just to be up front about it - that's how I do it.
