I had received emails like that before when i was in search of a super cheap laptop. Mostly I had done officialy contacts to test the waters because I knew there was a high chance alot of those auctions were scams. Maybe Mr. A is done with? could also explain the upsurge in HCGS coins lol
"he is STILL selling..." The fact he is still selling is what prompted me to write to EBAY to see if the email sent to me was real. Maybe it takes a while for it to happen?????? Anyone know?
their letter to you stated: so i would be confused .... maybe they talking baout a different seller... also the letter they sent you made it sound like they suspended someones account because of offers outside Ebay, not for selling fraudulently graded coins ( i know speedy - it is subjective :smile )
Ebay still listed 866 auctions for Aboncom at 2200 EST under US coins. Too good to be true i guess lol
if this is in reference to the seller aboncom, then I am saddened to inform you that they are still doing business selling SGS perfectly imperfect junk.
Yeah - Isiah and ruben are good at bumping threads. In this case maybe someone new will hit this before bying a SGS coin. One can only hope.
