Good eBay Coin Seller Thread
PC
is not really surprising because we often have more to say when we complain.
I want to give an eBay seller some kudos for consistently hitting a rare
trifecta - reasonable prices, low shipping costs, and fast shipping.
The seller is: lccoins
Who is a good (or great) eBay seller you would like to give a "shout out"
to?

Haha.
Seriously though, you must have a decent experience at sometime with an eBay
seller. This kind of rampant pessimism is exactly why I tried to start this
thread. Thanks very little for yanking it back in that direction.

Why don't we all scurry off and report back with any ebay seller who
regularly sells accurately graded coins, or undergraded.

lccoins
Mr. Jaggers
I've dealt with lccoins (not through eBay, but through their retail arm, L &
C Coins) and found them to be very good coin people. There are several RCC
regulars who do a very nice job of representing their eBay offerings as
well. Ira, Tom, and Ken come to mind.

No sign of a thaw yet, modern US coins in high MS PCGS slabs, hardly
exciting offerings and it's to be expected that modern coins are high grade,
who is a seller that offers old coins that are accurately graded?
Bear in mind that a slabbed coin is not necessarily an accurately graded
one, coins slabbed by CGS UK are supplying me with regular giggles, an
example,
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330303479443
Graded by a person with severe visual impairment, I hope that they don't
drive, it looks to have been whizzed, is a funny colour, that's funny
peculiar not funny ha ha, and looks to have damaged surfaces, and if so is
worth very little.
The seller's claim of being almost EF is way out, no takers so far at the
silly price. Billy
Mr. Jaggers
"Many would grade this coin as EF", eh? They must all be sellers. Billy,
the floodgates have been opened, and Your Fair Land will soon be awash in
overachiever slabbed coins, just as it is over here.

I have dealt with lccoins and was satisifed with their merchandise and
performance.
I have had several dealings with murphycoins and have always rec'd
properly graded coins, well packed and promptly shipped.
For the most part, I have been satisfied with the coins I've bought off
eBay, say about 95% of the time.
Methinks eBay's modified feedback policy has prompted sellers to be a
bit more customer service oriented.

I hope that resistance will not be futile, we will not be assimilated, the
only regular sellers of their slabbed coins in the UK are London Coins who
are, surprise surprise, connected with CGS UK.

It didn't sell with a BIN of £695 and it's now relisted at the same price, a
price of £69.50 may give it half a chance of selling. Billy

You said "Accurately graded coins" or
Now you want to raise the bar. It is quite obviouos you are
determined to drag this discussion to a negative place no matter what
evidence is presented to you. lcoins sends me accurately graded
coins. Stop being such a turd.

Have you worked out yet why you have not been flooded with several long
lists of sellers who offer accurately graded coins on ebay?
Will I give you a hint? Billy

Because you pissed all over this thread. There have been a number of names
supplied (only one by me). I have more names but why bother? You are
convinced they don't exist and will not yield an iota from your hard-line
and unrealistic position.

I'll try ...
First, if some dealer happens to provide coins at the advertised grade with
decent service overall, they aren't really doing anything stellar. You
can't lower the standard, then proclaim excellence when someone simply does
what's supposed to be normal.
It's sorta like those (probably seller-types) here who seem to think you've
had an absolutely positive experience just because a seller managed to get
you what you paid for. No exceptions! I'd call it average - or neutral -
unless something truely stellar occured. And I've certainly had some
less-than-positive results while still receiving the goods for which I've
paid. But that's not how the feedback game works, I guess.
Honestly? I tend not to buy too many coins via eBay any more. Last one I
snagged was an Austrain Taler ... 1620 I believe (it's here somewhere, I
just don't see it at the moment). I'm not sure what the seller called it,
but the pictures were nice enough and, funny that, I got the coin that was
pictured! It got exactly what I expected, and it was shipped reasonably
fast. I'm happy, but not enough to spew massive praise. Seller's name is
coinstuart, for the record.
But let me ask a question that is more worthwhile, IMO. The eBay link you
provided showed a coin that was "VF 55". Is this scale (I'm assuming based
on 100) a UK standard? Maybe I've lived a shelter US-centric life, but I've
never noticed anyone using a different numeric grading scale before.

My reasoning for the lack of lists of good ebay coin sellers, those selling
older coins that are not overgraded, is that if a collector came across one
they would not be spreading the information around.
CGS UK do indeed use 1 to 100 on their grading system (to avoid direct
comparison with the USA slabbers is my guess) and this VF55 looks to be a
whizzed coin of very low value, I now have the urge to ask CGS UK how they
arrived at VF55 for it, I will post the reply. Billy

>My you sure have a whiny victim complex.
<chuckle> That's pretty funny. As in ironic. As in hypocritical. You got
all that from a simple, logical conversation? Look inwards, grasshopper!
I realize that, given your terrible history with eBay, and the dozens of
problems you've spent countless hours complaining about "here", to finally
have someone treat you "fairly" might be a big deal to you. For those of us
less sensitive (less whiney, less victim-ish), there are far fewer problems.
Go figure.
I saw you had mutated your email address AGAIN, and this time not fitting
the old pattern so as to be missed by my killfile. And I figured I'd give
you the benefit of the doubt and let you out. Old habits die hard, eh?
Well, it was worth a try ... I guess.
