snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 04/23/2009 8:55 pm A while back I found an Indochina Piastre on Tony Fein's Vcoins page. It looked like a potentially good deal, but there appeared to be some spots of corrosion on the coin. Since the pictures weren't very good, I emailed him to ask about the spots and request a better picture. He replied with 6 words: What do you expect for $35? I thought it was a bit rude. Since then I have seen other coins that I wanted to purchase from him on ebay and Vcoins. I didn't pull the trigger though due to my previous interaction with him. Has anyone on the forum had better results doing business with Tony Fein? Report this Post to the Staff

Either provide better pics, or don't. Your call. Just don't give me that BS 'answer'" Joe Report this Post to the Staff

If I was selling a $5 coin and someone wanted better pics, I would provide them. Of course, I would also probably make sure my pics were up to snuff in the first place so the customer didn't even have to ask for better pics. I do not claim to be a professional photog or anything like that, I am still learning numismatic photography but I also do not run a professional website selling coins(I just sell a bit on the side).

Returned it and he credited. Never bought from him since then. Report this Post to the Staff

I would also ask him how he expects to get repeat customers with an attitude like That! Report this Post to the Staff
