... and what is up with shipping in four to five days? Just drop it in a mailer and be done with it... Why would that take five days?

Consignment Hub beyond a doubt. They never knew a coin that didn't need a harsh cleaning...

I've bought from GSC and have been quite pleased. However, my two,purchases were not overbid which is why I won in the first place. I believe they shill bid because I have never seen so many last hour buds by brand new eBayers as I do on their coins.

I bought one coin from GSC but it was slabbed.
I knew their reputation before I bid but again the coin was slabbed so they could doctor the photos all they wanted and I didn't have to worry about it.
Wasn't that the original idea behind slabbed coins: coins be sold or traded sight unseen without the receiving party having to worry about what they were getting.

I still want to know why it takes five days to mail a coin... seems kind of lazy to me.

I too have bought from them before on ebay. Nice coins, decent deal, good service. They had a set of coins , over priced. They sat un-bid upon for several weeks, they took them off active bid and just listed them in their store. I made them an offer that was more in line with what the coins were worth. They accepted, easy transaction. They say 4-5 days so that when you receive them in 3 you are pleasantly surprised. And so that if it does take 5 days, you are not jumping up and down saying " you said 3 days ......" |

I'll say one thing about GSC, they certainly have a knack for acquiring key date coins.

Many of their auctions get bid way up, so I rarely win anything. They are masters of photography and yes their pictures are juiced. But I prefer a clear picture like theirs compared to those fuzzy blurred pictures. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith |

I've bought from GSC and yes their stuff does get suspiciously bid up -- but they have some nice coins and they do provide a decent service if you don't mind paying a little over graysheet bid

One note about GSC "Great Southern Coins," should you return anything for any reason, they do you the favor of banning you from participating in future auctions. Eventually I hope they ban the entire ebay numismatic community. It never ceases to amaze me what this crook gets for cleaned / altered 1955 double die cents: http://www.ebay.com/sch/greatsouthe...046732.m1684Study the bidding. Isn't it something how this guy always bids, but never seems to win, only on GSC's high priced coins: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI....one_ViewLinkHow do you spell S-H-I-L-L? Edited by Go-Rebels

I agree this is ridiculous, but did you really need to dig up a thread from three years ago?!

I bid on one of their ebay auctions a few months ago. Won the item for a reasonable price. Somehow they got a hold of my email address and I have been getting spam emails from then ever since. Every day I get an email from them. |

I agree this is ridiculous, but did you really need to dig up a thread from three years ago?! I could have created another post but I figured I'd just continue with an existing one. Interesting auction here on a date/mm I'm looking to purchase: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1884-S-Morg...AOSwKtlWhZQd ... another coin I'm sure isn't 'choice' in any way. Looking at the 'spirited' bidding so far (33 bids at this time), look what we find: - Top bidder: g***9 with 11 bids total, 100% of them with greatsoutherncoins. - Next bidder: r***l with 64 bids total, 28% with greatsoutherncoins. - Next bidder: t***- with only one bid on this coin - Next bidder: 0***5 with only 9 bids, 89% with greatsoutherncoins. - Next bidder: 1***0 with 409 bids, 94% with greatsoutherncoins. - Next bidder: b***b with 312 bids, 86% with greatsoutherncoins. - Next bidder: k***0 with 348 bids, 98% with greatsoutherncoins. All these satisfied customers who predominately bid just on greatsoutherncoins! Right... This guy doesn't just shill at the end, he has an entire battery of shillers to keep the bid count high throughout the entire auction period! |

Every day I get an email from them. I got the same emails until I had to 'block' them using my email client. And this is from an ebay seller WHO BLOCKED ME FROM BIDDING ON HIS COINS! |
