It's easy enough just to ignore the glitz and glitter and hype, and focus on the item itself, i.e. whether or not it is fairly graded and priced, as well as pictured clearly enough to make a bid decision based on a photograph.
Those 12 thousand positive feedbacks and no negs do say something that is hard to dispute. I'm guessing not many of those +'s are from CCF users..

I like the note where he says "less than the price of 2 pizzas."

I see his "ads" in my search for large cents, but I don't pass him by or exclude his offerings from my searches. Instead I look for the varieties he has missed. Nice to cherrypick.

Now I'm not sure if it's the same guy but theres this one guy who put smiley face stickers on his coins. I just don't get it. And pardon my ignorance but does the "free shipping" look like it was virtually added?

GREAT! Now what am I going to do with all these stickers and Sharpies I bought AND I just ordered 10,000 day-glow orange, purple and green 2X2 flips. I always do the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Just kidding BTW. When I see sellers with these filps I don't even look at the coin. If they think that much of the coin, you can figure it's going to be overpriced.

Yeah, he is not going to get any purchases from me anytime soon. He posted his phone number: 1-877-90-ZACKS. I am tempted to call him just to ask him why he is doing that.

"SO CHEEEP AND SO FAST"
And that is a euphemism for what...?

I too found his cheaper than a pizza thing amusing. Who cares what he puts on the 2x2? I mean really, you would pass up a nice coin at a fair price just because someone puts tacky stickers on it? Not that I am saying THIS coin is at a fair price. I am making a point. I chuckle at the tackiness then actually LOOK at his coins. I have seen a few here and there that were a decent deal. I have yet to purchase one. But if I see the right combination of what I want/need and price, I will buy it stickers and all.

never bought one but I am betting they are stickers all over the thing. I just hope it doesn't spread like the plague because allot of the time it covers the cert number on the slabs (usually with "Bargain" sticker)

I can agree that this is very annoying - and he seems to have too much time on his hands. However, look how many people on the forum know of him b/c of his "methods!"

I have to wonder if there are not just as many who are not on the forum who know of this guy, & could not care less about the annoying look as long as they like the coin?

Its obvious he has made a name for himself.

I would think all of the stickers and cut and pastes are time consuming. But he does seem to do a volume.

I'm in agreement that it's annoying but it's his style and I hope he would change it if it didn't work.

I'd prefer looking at his holders rather than the ones that contain an AG coin and someone wrote MS65 on the holder.

HA! This whole thread made me chuckle. Yokozuna has the right idea.

The best part of that flip is "F/VF P.Q." :D That's AWESOME. I WISH I could be as cool as that guy's printer. Were it 1987.

WOW I am glad I'm not the only person who thinks Bozo the Clown's 2x2's were annoying.
