So, I'm a huge fan of the people's court and when I can't watch it live I record it. I was watching it last night and saw a promo for a case that's coming up this TUESDAY. A guy both a coin (gold $20 saint) off ebay valued at $40,000 for $2,600. The coin was slabbed, and it looked like it was in a SGS holder(?). Then they ended up brining an coin expert to give his value of the coin. Then it looked like the judge wasn't too pleased with the defendant. So, it's going to air on Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007. To find out the times and locations to where it airs around you http://peoplescourt.warnerbros.com/...enitson.htmlOfficial description from website: Tuesday, October 2:A rare coin purchase on ebay ends in disappointment. Judge Milian decides if the coin is a fraud. I'm not sure when I'm going to watch it, since I have a midterm the next day but I will have a write up about that case sometime Thursday. Also, not sure how it is in other places but here in Chicago it's aired two times a day. The first episode(1pm) is a repeat of last weeks episode, while the second one(4pm) is the new episode. So there are chances that if someone misses it, you might be able to catch it next week. Edited by Amazon99

Should be interesting to watch. Post it to YouTube if ya could since I ain't got a TV.
Ashame though that no one really has to ever pay a dime on those shows...even the coin guy.

I have a comcast dvr and they won't allow us to transfer info from it to another device, so I won't be able to post it online. Even though he doesn't have to pay for it, at least it will bring him some exposure and hopefully others will sue him once they see it.

Holy Moley Batman would say. No TV, graceoutcast? How is that possible in this day and age. Even prisons have TV sets. I thought they were as common as air or water. No TV? Difficult to imagine. I have one in almost every room with combination VHS/DVD recorders on each. One has two. None is bathrooms though. That would be overkill.
I too am waiting for that show Tuesday and although will not record it, I will watch.

Imagine it, I don't have a TV either. I spend my time online or watching DVD's on my computer. (Mainly old ones because they are putting so much anti-copy garbage on the DVD's of newer releases that they interfer really badly with the computer an I can't watch them. I wasn't sure if it was the DVD drive or the DVD themselves at first but I find that it plays older DVD's that I have just fine, and new DVD's of old movies work well too. But new DVD's of more recent films either freeze up or "stutter" very badly. You just can't enjoy a movie when a five minute scene takes ten to fifteen minutes to jerk and "stutter" through. It could be the drive though, most of the recent discs are now dual layer and my four year old computer may not be able to read them, and the dual layer may be confusing it.) It would be interesting to see the episode, but the question in my mind would be whether they decide the case based on the law or on the judge's personal opinion as was the case when judge judy heard the case of the ebay seller whose auction clearly stated they were selling a picture of a cell phone and the buyers paid $400 for it. Judy found for the plaintiff even though they admitted they hadn't bothered to read the listing closely and thought they were buying the phone. True the defendants listing was shady, but they did nothing illegal and they lost the suit anyway because Judy didn't like what they did. Not to mention slandering the defendant from the bench. (It wasn't printed, but since it was recorded, it might be considered to be libel as well.) |

Judge Milian is pretty good. She's going to factor in the law and evidence into the case. Oh, and if she catches them in a lie. She's not like Judge Judy who justs does whatever she wants. I'm going to try to record on my camera off my tv and then upload it here. But the earliest that would be done would have to be next wensdday once I'm done with midterms.

it wasn't looking good at first but the plaintiff did win, but it wasn't a self slabber, it was just a guy that sold a self slabbed coin to the plaintiff. The guy paid about 1000.00 over greysheet for what the coin was worth, it was labeled as a MS-65 (which would have made the coin 10 times what he actually paid) but a coin expert (don't remember his name but said he wrote a few books)said the coin was actually a MS-62 or MS-63. He read the greysheet and said in 63 the coin would be worth 1700.00 and the guy paid 2600.00 but in his state 2000.00 is the maximum he can sue for so he lost 600.00 and gave the coin back
