centsles, there have been a couple threads mentioning them. They have ALOT of nagative feedback and appear to over-grade most of their coins.

This seller specializes in Mexican and Chinese coins. And knockoff Swiss watches, evidently.

hmmm any discouraged buyers topic?
if so you can move this post there:
sherm810
new buyer. item was delivered and since it was a low priced item, under $5, I gave immediate feedback upon payment. My mistake giving him feedback before receiving my feedback. Package arrived at his home today and he states it was delivered open. I tape all ends in my packages so only way it could be open is if it was torn open so I am not buying his story of it being delivered open. He wont provide pictures of the package being open either. So I just refunded him in hopes that he wont negative feedback me. Maybe you guys should keep an eye out on him if he bids on your stuff and wins.

I find this ebay seller particularly annoying: "bidsbids".

Reason: I bid on an IHC auction of his where he only provided the obverse photo, but assured me the reverse condition was similar and "I would not be disappointed". When the coin arrived, I found it had a huge gash in the reverse. Politely bringing the issue to him before I rated this transaction, he asserted "I always put LARGE pictures of both front and back in the body under the description". However, checking further I see he never includes a photo of the back.

Obviously, this guy will say anything to make a sale, and would not even consider some kind of trade. He doesn't care about buyer satisfaction. Avoid this seller.

I need to add seller "jong_aloha" to the list of non-recommended sellers. He inadvertently inserted the incorrect reverse photo in the auction. The coin I received had a severe scrape on the reverse. He refunded my purchase price and shipping charge, but I was out the return postage and ins. cost.

All of this should not place someone on the list ... mistakes happen. The reason he belongs here is the the obverse photo shows a 2x2 with MS66 as an assigned grade. The damaged reverse would make this coin an MS62 at best. In his final email to me he took the opportunity to defend his grading and stated the items I brought to his attention would have no effect on the final grade ... PULLEEEZ!

And no where in any of his correspondence (4 emails) did he offer any type of apology for his error... I felt like a criminal defendant. I'm never going back there.

Stay away from this seller. morgandollarservices...Several negative feedbacks of late. I was lucky to have my transaction reversed. Marketed 1884S AU++;BU; etc hype. No longer a registered user. Watch for a PO Box in Niagra NY. You can contact me for particulars if you suspect a new registered user may be him. nlp
Rest in Peace

As some of you know, I purchased a 3 dollar coin from Abomcom that has proved to be counterfeit. He would not accept a return as I had removed it from the bezel. I have no choice but to file a claim on this, and must list him in this group to warn potential buyers. Here are four threads over multiple forums detailing this transaction and inspection of the coin that I purchased.

I'm gonna add ebay seller ravalexcoins to this list with the qualification that I have not bought from him personally since his boiler room WCG (World Coin Grading) grading company tends to grossly overgrade his slabbed coins (see topic http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=12091 ) and I have a terrible mistrust of non-tiered self slabbing companies to the degree that I am paranoid that however nice the slabbed coins might appear in a photograph that the images are photoshopped to make them appear something that they are not (i.e., are actually problem coins). Further, his neutral and negative feedback is terrible http://www.toolhaus.org/cgi-bin/neg...=Received+by . This seller came to my attention during my perpetual search for an 1890-CC Morgan: he (and few others) lists several but I'm not gonna gamble big bucks on unverfied coins when even his return policy has been challenged.

Rest in Peace

I don't want to start another argument over this, but I'm going to post him here people don't end up buying from him. What has he been doing? Well, it looks like previously, he was not doing this, but got desperate, and starting whacking NCS problem coins out and selling them as non-problem coins, often overgraded.

I just got my internet back on MY computer, and a lot of drivers are not installed, so it must have been a problem with that. I'll fix it soon. If it can't be fixed, it means that he deleted them, and I will delete the links.

'No returns' because it's 'encapsulated'. By a nonsense company.

My opinions... Yours may vary!
Over grades coins, then says in the auction
"grades are subjective, look the pictures...".
Then... gets offended if you don't agree with
his grading! Nasty notes sent for not bidding
high enough!
