that is a crappy attitude for selling

:i_agree:

I honestly don't think there is anything to be gained from ripping people off, even if they're bidiots. Any monetary gain is more than counterbalanced by loss of prestige. And once you get a bad rep, its pretty hard to shake off.

There may be a lot of fools on eBay Mate but NONE of them live here.
The coin I removed the paint from before I wiped it with a cotton bud had a weaker colour, just like your coin If I had left it to dry out it would be the same colour.
I have reported your listing to eBay :ok:

Error Hunter, I was thinking you were going to list an acetoned one, not the one you found at the beginning of this thread.

so what is it worth? any suggestions?

its not like I am selling something that's been tampered with like those $5 notes with the queens face rubbed out
reported??

on the basis of..................

[Fulvio]

reported??

on the basis of..................

I'd be curious to know that too. While I don't think the listing was a wise move, I can't see anything actionable in it. :huh:

The big problem with this type of thing is you don't know what the production process is. Suppose it turns out the paint's UV-sensitive, and yours just happened to cop a bit of sun. Once lots start showing up, you'll look shonky.

At the very least, I'd let the distribution process complete before getting carried away. Its very early days yet.

people just get a new ID

but this is a genuine variety isn't it?
or am I wrong again?

[Fulvio]

but this is a genuine variety isn't it?

Maybe. We don't know what it is yet.

[trout]

so what is it worth? any suggestions?

Before you ask this question think about what your "reputation" is worth to you :ok:

people just get a new ID

Your attitude just gets worse by the second :dash1:

I have already proven how this "Colour change" can be achieved outside the mint, So yes it IS actionable.

I have another pertinent question for error hunter.
"Are you the same entity as Sulla?"

[Coins from Vending]

Am I the same entity as Sulla??  No

And your comment on my attitude gets worse by the second??? you ought to go back and see who made the comment of "people just get a new ID"


Apology accepted.......................

[robbiegal]

I made that comment about sellers who don't care about reputation
they just create a new ID
happens all the time

[Coins from Vending]

This coin cam straight out of a security bag as is I have not touched it in any way shape or form, perhaps you could ask the Mods to look into my IP address and that of the other person, I am sure IPs are logged?

Your apology is again accepted..................

[trout]

Apology accepted.......................

Yes I did stuff up there, No worries Sorry :ok:
Now all you have to do is get rid of your "Bogus" listing and apologise to everyone on the forum :good:

[Coins from Vending]

tell you what I will do, I'll end the auction.

I'll post the coin to you, you can have a look at it and compare it to the coin you took the paint off and to that of another purple coin look at it under a loupe or magnifying glass as you do with your other coins, I am sure if it has been tampered with looking at it under high magnification will show evidence of tampering.

When you've compared them and determined that mine is untempered with you can post it back to me.

How does that sound???

If you determine it has been tampered with, you can keep it.
