Item description for all items:
Here is the funny part- feedback 5.0 in the category "Accurate description"
"Your want a description? Here's your description:

I'm selling coins and currency to serious buyers who want good deals and don't need to be coddled the entire way.If that's you, join the fun.If not, just keep on looking elsewhere because you're not worth my trouble."

I am not trying to scold the seller, just asking opinions on whether it is a legitimate approach.

The rest of the description is similar in the tone:
"

Commonly asked questions:

Q. "Is this coin (Insert precious metal here)"

A.You figure it out.If you don't know what you are looking at, do some research.



Q.Do You Combine Shipping?


A.Can't you read?



Q. I bought this my mistake, can you cancel?


A.I'll go ahead and start that unpaid item case for you



Q.I'd like to return a TPG (PCGS, NGC, ANACS, PMG) certified item


A.Welcome to my BBL List and various other industry blacklists of my choosing (There are FEW exceptions, I have encountered misattributions on more obscure coins that significantly affect value more frequently.That's legitimate)



Q. Why are you so mean?

A. Because a person really develops some think skin after years of putting up with nonsense. I provide Numismatic items at no reserve, with plenty of bargain opportunities, I expect buyers to put forth some effort in taking the time to research the items they are buying. This is a hobby, it's supposed to be fun.99.999% of folks have that figured out. You can to.



Q.I'd like to return this item because of a genuine issue (Wrong item sent, it happens, nobody's perfect. There are other real reasons)


A.Go ahead and initiate a return using the returns center, you will receive a label at our cost and be refunded upon receipt AND Inspection.



Q. I'd like to return an item for a frivolous reason (I already had one, my dog/cat/toddler placed an absentee bid).

A.You'd be surprised how many dogs/cats/toddler's know how to login, search for items that their parents routinely buy, and go through the four step process of placing a bid.You'd be really surprised how many dogs/cats/toddlers seem to know the exact market price of a coin for that matter. Just cut the baloney. Expect a few unkind words if I think your story don't hold water."

Honestly, I probably would buy from him if he had something I wanted . If you don't know what you are doing you really shouldn't be buying from this seller.

Yes, we've seen this one a number of times on CCF. May be a curmudgeon, but does follow through.

I absolutely understand his attitude, and would certainly buy from him.
edit: I have bought from him, and was very satisfied with my purchase.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

All my life My work included customer service and it was expected to be "exemplary". I don't think I could bring myself to purchase from somebody like that. Just my opinion......

Probably a bit of an old crusty ( I can relate !) .
That said he is completely above board .

I am buying from him. I just think it's a bit overboard attitude, although I have seen many very unreasonable buyers who just like to complain....

Here is a link to an early CCF link on him:

Just can't figure out why someone would so casually offend potential customers.
