Got Burned, Scammed, Ripped Off On Ioffer.com... Beware.read

Disappointed in a grab bag is one thing...misleading buyers with a fake grading company fo Lord knows how much money is another level of deciet in my opinion. Personally I sell unsearched lots of world coins on ebay. I buy poundage from dealers who have lots and dont want to search it, pounds from individuals on craigslist, and lots from garage sales. I *NEVER* search the lots. They are truly unsearched and I am sure people have scored some great coins from my lots (people have thanked me and listed their finds). The point is, I have advertised exactly what the lot is, and I deliver. I pass on the same joy to buyers that I get when I buy something and search and score. Thats the majesty of the hobby, but the same lure that the sharks use to rip people off. It sickens me that people are so crooked now-a-days. But I WILL continue to provide my customers with awesome lots nomatter!

So, what did your buddy get that sold you on this to begin with ?

I sometimes see those at shows for $5.
I walk by trying not to laugh. Sorry that happened to you.
Live and learn...we have all made crappy purchases at one time.

I got scammed on ioffer.com as well. I don't want to talk about it because it still makes me hot.

I suggest that no one use it. Ever.

I used to buy my daughter a few "lots" of coins when she was around 3-5 years old and knew there was no way to get anything of any value but she loved just seeing the coins and looking through them so for me the 10 bucks I was spending was worth it to me e3ven though I probably only got about 5-7 bucks worth of coins. Of course now all the pre-64 dimes and quarters that was sent to her 6-8 years ago is worth allot more than I paid at that time and her collection probably has allot more coins in it than mine does, but of course mine is allot more focused and worth quite a bit more

Go tell your "buddy". That's the source. If he doesn't have a story similar to yours then he might be in on the whole thing.
Also lol @ $1,000,000 - people will believe anything with a big clean number like that.

Very funy...my buddy bought EIGHT of this guy's other lots that guaranteed PCGS & NGC graded coins and he was very happy . He received several NGC and PCGS modern proofs etc. It seems that the guy rewards the big spenders with good lots and mixes the coins with self-slabbed coins in to keep his operation going, So instead of railing on me, maybe consider that I had reason to belive I would receive a fair lot...
It didnt happen...

Definately the pricey learning curve. I am not upset over $40 but rather upset that I convinced my dad to follow suit before I received my coins. He will receive his in a day or two...I dread the convo. I think I am just gonna give him a GEM BU Morgan or his $50 if he fairs like I did...
