Has the buyer even technically taken ownership of these yet? There is a good chance they won't have these coins in hand when the auction ends. Heritage can take awhile.

No, he doesn't have the coins yet. Heritage usually takes 10 days or so.

At first I was thinking why people wouldn't question the pictures. Then I say this: Quote:Coin was previously certified. Is now raw as was part of my Indian Head cent collection. What an excuse... |

Oh, this guy is completely defiant. He doesn't deny what he's doing, he just says he disagrees with the TPG. He's put that into auction copy. Why not? It plays to TPG distrust and ebay could not care less, nor does PCGS. |

Though he states he does not accept returns this coin is still covered by the ebay return policy because when the buyer gets this coin and finds out it has been cleaned and not the "gem" he thought at least he still could send it back. |

Calling the 1915-S Barber quarter "GEM" it sort of falls in line with the old freak shows you used to could see at the circus. P. T. Barnum was right "There's a sucker born every minute." Problem is this ebay seller KNOWS what he is doing is FRAUD. There's no way I or Ssuper Dave or anyone else on this forum whose looked at thousands of coins would ever grade that coin GEM. This is what I find so disgusting about ebay which only cares about lining its pockets and paying Donahue and company big bonuses. ebay CARES NOTHING ABOUT INTEGRITY. Truly ebay has become a cavet empator venue. It is getting to the point that it is hard for me (and I'm sure I'm not alone) to due a category search by series or date on a coin because you see so many obvious off the wall grades like this one or worse fakes. Now granted I could see an 11 year old boy whose never collected coins suddenly inherit a collection and he might call it GEM. But for someone who has the knowledge and knows better (which you darn well do if you buy at Heritage auctions). . . it might meet a court's definition of fraud but saying he disagrees with the TPG is sort of like the politician who said "We'll I'm not a crook!" |

Well someone or someones here have really stepped up their game and put some really good bids on those coins. phd has got to be salivating at current bids.  |

Woah! I dont get it, if some one put a bid in at five grand they have to pay, dont they? Or is this just a ploy to assure no one gets ripped off by this donkeys hind quarters?
Unless, of course, that is him making a sad attempt at upping his bids.

Same two zero-Feedback bidders making all those silly bids. Not that ebay cares about shills, either. |

Excellent. Now I wonder if Heritage even got paid for those coins.

Bobby, you seem to have a real inside track with them and they do listen to you. Unfortunately they don't listen to others who don't have your pull.
I don't know why you have such influence with them, but don't ever lose it.

Way to go Bobby! I saw this thread the other day and had to contact the seller, like everyone says he knows what he is doing. I do feel a little sheepish because my message got a little personal, but I was quite upset when I saw his listings. Quote:
Dear phdcoins2014,
Is this coin raw because it was purchased in a PCGS UNC details, genuine holder? # 31461765 purchased from HA on Feb 15, 2015 ? You probably don't even have the coin yet so your BS story about it in your collection is nothing but a SCAM!! Along with all the other coins you've done this with. You are a disservice to the whole collecting community, and humanity for that matter. and his reponse..... Quote:I suggest you stop the harassing communication or you will be banned from ebay. You re an idiot. I am entitled to my opinion of any coin whatsoever. PCGS does not determine what a coin is. That is up to the individual buyer. And you have no idea what the history of this coin is from 1859. Just so you know, it was once part of my collection. You don t know the previous grade history of the coin. You don t know whether I was the consignor in that auction or not. Consignors can buy back their own coins. You also don t know if I received it. You must have never heard of expedited shipping. You can receive a Heritage purchase the next day! In addition, you can also pick it up from them! You need to lose your policing attitude and learn the facts and quit being an idiot. I would consider uneducated people like yourself that have no life to be the disgrace. I am glad to see him gone...but afraid he'll just pop up somewhere else. |

Scandalous....I personally assume there is something wrong when NO RETURNS is in play. Sad some people take advantage.

The reason it's necessary, however, disgusts me and if that connection becomes in any way formal the new provisions of HCA could put Coin Community in the legally-defined chain of blame. I feel like we're facilitating ebay's abdication of responsibility by doing their work for them. |
