We have relisted our items on eBay that were ended by eBay in
error...plus a few new purchases. No reserves and in every case the
starting bids on our auction format items are way under our cost. Many
at 1¢ or 99¢ starts. Free shipping for RCC members and 3% discount
for cash or money orders. Thanks for looking!

Wonder how long it will take for eBay to bounce Fwankie's sorry ass
again?
Of course it will be everybody else's fault, not his - right Provasicko?

Why are you calling the Columbian Expostion half dollar a "Chicago
Worlds Fair" half dollar....and why is it listed under Barber Halves?

Trying to make it hard to find?

Discussion subject changed to "Nice items on eBay, no minimums" by
RWF


Wonder why Finnan removed the FA (For Auction) tag from the subject?
So he can report me to eBay for violating the newsgroup charter?

Poor, poor paranoid Provasicko.
You really should get psychiatric help, Fwankie.

With a feedback score of almost 4000 he is the type of person the I
would be happy to buy from. With a feedback score of 100% he must be
doing something right! I have almost 500 and know how hard it is to
please everybody and hope that when I get near 4000 I still am at 100%
positive. And I have had my auctions pulled a couple of times bt eBay
and when I talked with eBay it was fixed and re listed, doesn't mean
anything other than doing business. I can only assume that people that
continue to call Frank names have a personal beef with him. If you can
not talk facts, call people names. Most of us learned not to call people
names when we were kids.

Gee, I wasn't even aware there was an "1893 Chicago" sub-category of
the "collectibles / Worlds Fair" category.

However, don't you think you are limiting exposure by listing it
there?

I would assume coin collectors would be looking in "Coins / US /
Commemorative / early" for an "1893 Columbia Exposition Half Dollar"
if they were interested in such a coin.

Don't you have something more constructive to do with your time?

Perhaps something like responding to off-topic political rants by a
cross-posting moron while neglecting to remove RCC from the "groups"
list....thus making yourself look like a bigger moron???

Oh, wait a minute. You're doing that repeatedly.

Coin collectors are such tightwads that listing in another suitable
category often brings better results. All my Binion
and slabbed casino silver dollars get listed under memorabilia for the
particular casino, or under Las Vegas. Likewise,
Civil War Tokens have done very well listed as genuine Civil War
items. And hardly anyone execpt numismatists refer
to the "World's Columbian Exposition," but many people know that the
Ferris Wheel was introduced at the 1893 Chicago
World's Fair, and think $20 for an AU half dollar issued at the fair
is a bargain.

Nice ethics you got there, Fwankie, very nice indeed.

As you are probably aware, here is Ebay's policy on raw and
uncertified coins.

Please note the last paragraph.

"Raw and Uncertified Coins

A raw or uncertified coin is defined as any coin not graded by one of
the authorized grading companies. Sellers are permitted to list these
items on eBay under the following conditions:

*

A numeric grade is not included in the title of the listing,
such as MS-65, VF-25, etc. A numeric grade may only be included in the
description of the listing.
*

The grading company or price guide is not referenced in the
title or description.
*

A dollar value (even if personal opinion) is not included in the
title or description."

Nothing wrong with advertising a commemorative coin to those who
collect souvenirs
about the commemorating event!

Indeed, Google does show that RWF altered the subject of the post.
What is your issue with Frank Provasek? Have you done business with
him and feeel cheated? Is he a competitor, or are you just a
stalker? Since his feedback is 100% seems the latter is more apt.

wierd paranoid raving, as usual.

Probably because that due to your willful stupidity, you continually
violated ebay's rules for listing coins, such as adding your absurd
"estimated value"s to your non-certified coin auctions.
Even though you've been suspended several times (by your own admission)
and have had your listing errors pointed out to you by members of this
group, you continued to violate ebay's rules and then professed shock
when your auction(s) got bounced.
You then come here and make unsubstantiated claims that members of the
group are out to get you.
