SEGS NOT HONORING GUARANTEE

"Fair market value shall be determined by SEGS based on recent actual transactions in the market place..."

I don't want to get involved with this thread, but a great deal of the posts here can pretty much be ignored by reading the quoted part of the guarantee.

1. SEGS determines the market value.
2. The coin was purchased for $5,000 within three months of the regrade request. That's pretty solidly the cap.

By the way, good luck explaining the coin market and grading and TPGs to a "jury" or any other entity. Most of the people I even give a glimpse into our world basically come to the conclusion that we are in the Wild West and it's a game with virtually no rules.

I believe in court you would have to prove actual loss which would be cost minus reimbursed. Then take out attorney fees and your time and you are going backwards. Learn the lesson and move on.

 

Didn't read entire thread so could be repeating things (and know it's an older thread but meh). I'll just say if SEGS wasn't 100% certain they'd not be legally responsible for the value difference in downgrading I would bet my house you would have received your coin back in a 66 slab. They knew with 100% certainty they could safely downgrade it without being on the hook so they did.

There is a large contractor in my area who offers 15 year warranties on their installations where market standard is 10 years. Conveniently they've changed company names (and I assume company status) multiple times in the last 20 years and each time they can disregard the previous companies 15 year warranties.

 

Not going to read through this entire post again. We have people on here who are lawyers and some who think they are lawyers. ASFAIK, the consensus was that the OP didn't have a case...let it go.

 

Thank you.

 

Just so I have this straight... a supposed "new member" shows up, resurrects this thread with not one but three mostly senseless copy/paste jobs, and you don't want to relive the fun?

 

Sorry, didn't mean to be a spoilsport...

 

There's method to your madness, I know.... now turn that frown upside down.

 

People who are Lawyerz when it comes to D Carr maybe. Theres no CT lawyers (?) Maybe a blowhard or 2 but no lawyers lol.
I dont think ive commented in this thread, but yea, the little man gets played waaaaay too often, when it comes to TPG mistakes.
You guys almost ALWAYS side with the TPG when it comes to THEIR MISTAKES!!!!
I soooooooo cant wait 4 it to happen to you!!
Then you might change yer high horse attitude all the sudden, where i come from, (Appalachia-guitars-cadillacs hillbilly music) its called:ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

 

Where in Appalachia, I'm from Prestonsburg, KY (hence the name)

 

Do you honestly think i was directing my hillbilly comment towards a member named KENTUCKY ?????

Sidenote: i had a few members in mind when i was typing (not you)

OH-IO BTW

 

Just asking...BTW, I have met one real lawyer who used to be on here...@Lonegunlawyer

 

When you said lawyers, that was my big chance ( in my own mind ) to call out the DC **** riders. Books can feel it, i just used yer post, to inject my hate -so 2 speak

But yea, regardless of the outcome from THIS thread, its the same ol' same ol' regarding TPG screwups

Sidenote #2- hopefully i injected some life back into this thread. Lets get it !!

 

This thread is one where siding with the TPG, at least to an extent, is completely warranted though.

The gist is that the OP bought a SEGS coin and demanded PCGS' "estimated value" (in PCGS plastic) at the original grade after hers was downgraded, or an additional $13k on her claimed $5k purchase. If memory serves me, Briggs handled it very poorly, no doubt, and the OP certainly deserved something for said downgrade, but she was quite clearly playing newbie games and expecting to profit from them.

And yes... I did "feel" it.
