Discouraged Sellers

OK, I found the seller, certifiedcoinsellers. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1Q...dcoinsellers
He doesn't use "MCI" in the text which is why an advanced search wouldn't locate his auctions.

It appears she's using the term "MS" as a designator for business strike (as opposed to proof) rather than Mint State. I know PCGS uses MS in this manner in its submission forms and population reports. I don't know if any other TPG uses it in a similar manner; I know ANACS does not. It's too confusing.

However, I would be cautious about putting her in this "Discouraged Seller" since her feedback isn't particularly bad. At least not yet. Wait until some of her buyers of her slabbed coins start giving her feedback. Maybe put her on a "watch list".

Her website http://www.mcigrading.com/ is under construction and is essentially a blank page. The domain is registered to a woman in Hemdon, VA. This indicates another one-person slabber.

Stay away from these sellers. They are the same but use different names all out of Jackson or Ridgeway Mississippi
twomenandaloop
Thursdaynightdollars
coinadventures
coinlots
uscoinlots
coinsat10
Their hallmark is selling lots with the majority if not all being ANI slabs. ANI is based in Mississippi so my guess is they are ANI. Most of their feedback is from beginning ebay buyers and their feedback is almost always PRIVATE. very dangerous sign. BEWARE

Has anyone in Australia had any dealings with 'cadici123'.
He sells pre- and decimal coins. He overgrades like it was going out of fashion, is really abusive in his emails, wont refund or compromise and claims the post office is at fault for the many non deliveries. Ceverat emptor.

'Poor grammar.'

I bought a coin from this guy. But it was an NGC MS64 Morgan dollar. I gave him negative feedback but I'm in the minority unfortunately.

Does that mean all of ThursdayNightDollar's positive feedback is phony. If that's the case the phony just gave me my first negative feedback just for giving him negative feedback. He has so much positive feedback why should he care about another negative feedback?

Beware of tycoin on ebay. He only runs repros, puts them in the genuine categories, and doesn't list his titles with copy or reproduction in them. Basically, he's as misleading as they get. He only runs his auctions for a very short time, obviously hoping that ebay won't catch him. Anyone having any time, please report this guy's listings as miscategorized. Maybe we can get him banned.

Hi, I'd like to add three ebay sellers I won't buy from in the order of how offensive they are (in my opinion, of course):

1.) klondike95 -- This guy is a crook. I have a very long story about how he lied and lied and lied to me while getting out of sending me a coin that I purchased through the "Buy It Now" option. I won't bore you with it. Just last week he listed an obviously counterfeit 1828 half dollar as genuine. Either he knew it was a fake or he didn't know. Either way, he's a first-class well-I-won't-say-it-in-polite company.

2.) hsturn -- always sells suspiciously uniform-looking unslabbed silver coins as "high grade," "MS-63+++" and the typical sucker-fish bait passing as brilliant marketing. I contacted him last week to compliment him on how uniformly satiny his silver coins look and asked what he dipped them in to make it so that he never sold a single toned or even slightly dark-surfaced silver coin. I also wonder why, if these coins are such high grade he doesn't have them slabbed by a top grading company in order to get top dollar for them. He told me that he doesn't do a thing to his coins, but that the shiny ones sell best on ebay so that's what he lists. Puh-lease. If anyone else cares to look at his listings and can put together a convincing argument as to why hsturn's coins all really naturally look that way, then I will take him off my list.

3.) ernie -- I've never bought anything from this guy. I am boycotting ernie until he stops overgrading his coins. I also won't consider joining the ANA until ernie stops overgrading his coins, as ernie claims to be an ANA member. If I were in charge of the ANA I would send ernie a copy of Photograde and ask him to stick to it or get out. But that's just me.

Also I contact a lot of buyers of cast counterfeit Lafayette dollars, Seated Liberty dollars, 8 reales, etc. (from China mostly), to let them know what they just purchased. Sometime ebay won't let me contact them which really ticks me off since ebay doesn't do much proactively to stop the practice.

Just my 3 cent nickel's worth.
