Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 07/08/2015 5:46 pm The new head honcho at HSN has reformatted the networks aproach. They now present their segments in a forum based q&a type talkshow. For instance there is an hour long weekly series called "the coin collector" or something like that. I saw an interview with the HSN pres a few months ago talking about it. He's done with the old infomercial type ways and it's really increasing revenue apparently Edited by Cascade 07/08/2015 5:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

For me shows are in my whereabouts once a year or such, I know I couldn't stand only buying then. There are two local shows every year (sporing and fall). There are also some semi-local shows that I attend on occasion.

everything Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 07/09/2015 7:41 pm If I am channel surfing it sucks me in, I won't buy from them, knowing I can get what they offer cheaper somewhere else, but I'll still watch, it's fun to watch them pitch the sale. My issue is over spending on collectible silver pieces, or .999 silver. Report this Post to the Staff

There's no such thing as a dumb question, but it is dumb NOT to ask questions. You are correct, one has to be careful not only with ebay, but with any other vendors you deal with. It's educating yourself that is key, so you are not taken advantage of. I have passed on several opportunities on ebay due to the seller having a lot of negative feedback, the seller is in another country, or the item didn't look quite right.

Half Pillar of the Community United States 606 Posts	Posted 07/10/2015 3:17 pm Welder, my number one E-bay rule is to never buy a coin from China. Not even slabbed ones. They make outstanding fake slabs and coins. China includes Hong Kong. I am also very cautious buying from surrounding countries for similar reasons. Granted mint sets, modern circulated coinage, some commemoratives etc are usually exceptions. But never from China. Rule number two is never buy from someone who has fakes listed in their feedback. Other feedback comments I will take with a grain of salt depending on what it is. Buying raw coins worth more than a couple hundred bucks is risky if you do not perform your "due diligence" but I will let folk with more experience talk on that topic. EDIT: Buying any raw coin without doing research is dangerous. Edited by Half 07/10/2015 6:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
