I'm not in any way suggesting feedback comments be private but rather just the items. Can't always find what your looking for that is a private auction. I'm talking about items in general, not just coins. If there are any questions you can always contact the seller so users can have some privacy in the items they buy.

Without revealing too much about my alter-ego, there are certain items on ebay in which I might be interested that had BETTER have EVERYTHING private.  (Don't go down this road, folks. I was thinking proprietary research data and unreleased software applications in Alpha testing. What were you thinking?  ) |

Hi bobby131313 & Morgan Fred, While you have expressed comments that has I had not thought of for this debate, (and thus learning something from this forum already) and some I may even adopt in my next auction, So thanks for your input. But Morgan Fred thank you for your welcome, I politely but strongly resent your quote of... quote:
for someone who has been an eBayer for only two years and three months and with a very poor feedback score of 98.5%, your coin auctions would not get a second glance from me or any other big bidder
. Firstly I consider you also a loser in this scenario as well although I may miss your bid, you may miss out on something special because of your bias towards private feedback sellers. And secondly...If you consider this a POOR feed back I'm truly sorry. I have only been collecting for several years & selling for much less, while learning all the time, but I won't put up with "crap" from anyone (for the sake of other e Bayers), and for my myself, and if I cop a neg because of it, so be it, I have broad shoulders. Considering I have had only the 1 neg in the past 12 months, again thought as I would do, that one would look past one blemish in 440 transactions (which is visible, private or not) and put it down to bad luck. And in your precise examination of me please tell which one I deserved? Was it the one were I refund his monies, by my miss-grading through inexperience or the one were I bought a note 3 full grades out? And thus making it such a POOR feedback, that you & other wouldn't deal with me? quote:
Further, the big loser in this issue is you, at least on the seller side. Without the trust inherent in open feedback, you are not going to attract bidders who will give you top dollar for your coins. Indeed, you may sell otherwise excellent and good value coins, but you are going to receive only a fraction of what they normally might sell on eBay
. Again I can see your point about this also but as I only sell in my home Country I'm also limiting my options? I had just consider selling outside Australia a problem is something went wrong, not easily fixed & more of a headache, without a guarantee of better monies. quote:
From my own viewpoint, you appear to be otherwise open and honest by giving us your ebay ID, so you have already established a certain level of trust. In return, I invite you to review my own ebay profile: user ID "thefred2"
. Thank you, and I can assure you and anyone that I'm here for a long time & not just the fun time. And I did review your e bay ID as asked, even though you have been buying & selling for 4 years longer than me doesn't make you better, just more experienced & possibly a better negotiator than me, and being a 100% there is nothing more I can say other than well done! Further more I have done what I regularly do when selling (which is not often as I'm a collector not a dealer, un-privatised my feed back) ... Just for all who have posted & those reading it, who think WE who privatize our feedback have some thing to hide!!! Thank you all for your comment weather I agree with you or not, I enjoy the chat, and PLEASE take me for what I am & not what the general stereo type might be of a private feedback seller. Again I have only tried to express the thoughts of a private feedback e Bayer, weather right or wrong, and nothing else! |

Madbudgie, now that you have deprivatized (unprivated?  ) your feedback, I most certainly WOULD take a look at your auctions if you offered something I wanted (and there ARE Australian issues I want, but I won't be ebay shopping again until this fall**). Sooner or later, even the best of eBayers are going to get a negative; there are just certain buyers who live to neg a seller. I want to be able to read the feedback and make a determination for myself whether the neg FB was justified or not. On first blush with only a 98.5% feedback score with no feedback visible, I would just pass you by, but now with the feedback viewable, you would at least get my review of your auctions and possibly a bid. In fact, now that I know you a little and you have open feedback, you are even more likely to get my business if you were to offer something I wanted. I have long since known that there are very, very few coins (and other items) available on ebay which are something special (e.g., do not come up very often) which will not be available again in due course. Thus, I can afford to wait until I see an auction which satisfies me.
**For example, I want an uncirculated Australian $1 note/bill as would have been issued in 1970, the year I visited Australia (Queensland and NSW). I carried one in my billfold for years as a souvenir of my wonderful visit; my ex-wife decided it was community property, too much excess weight for me to carry, and removed it from my wallet, presumably as a gesture of her remorse for her treatment of me.  Such a replacement note would NOT be carried in my billfold this time.
At the moment, there is only one uncirculated Australian $1 note on ebay, but its description gives me no indication of its vintage. Since I don't have the time to research its origins, I'm passing it by. (I did not go to ebay Australia.) |

Morgan Fred... This is easy, if you were here is 1970 there are three different signature combinations you could have come across and had in your wallet. 1966 $1 COOMBS - WILSON C/V by Macca's book in UNC - $75. 1968 $1 COOMBS - RANDALL C/V by Macca's book in UNC - $695 1969 $1 PHILLIPS -RANDALL C/V by Macca's book in UNC - $60. Do you know which signatory combo you had? It would probably be the Coombs - Randall... Especially if your X took it. And if you haven't been here in 36 years, about time you came back! |
