You would think that with all the effort gone into the BS listing they would have spelt Die correctly, Tossers :dash1:

Enworb, was that Blackmamba? (Apols if I'm worng).

enworb · August 24, 2013, 11:33:08 PM

Im prob wrong and youre right. Im not the best remembering names like that. I think you had some contact with that person right?

Even if its not that person the fact remains its a loads of crap!

An interesting thing aside from this whole BS slab and listing is that they've called it "using PCGS grading". Now how many people are confused by this thinking "PCGS AU55" is actually the grade as this is how 80% of the time we see this type of grading in use. Of course we know it's actually the generic Sheldon system which PCGS the company applies to it's slabs. Obviously the person who put this in the slab saw it that way. Oh wait or they're just an idiot.

p.s Mark says I should delete this entire post and just leave the last 4 words. To go to the effort of picking a registration code and a barcode is done with deliberate deception.

I have reported this seller, Probably won't do any good I have reported Peter Wallace countless times and that shonky sod is still able to list BS listings :dash1:

Quotedone with deliberate deception.

I couldn't agree more with that statement .
This listing WILL fool the uninformed collector and it is designed to do just that, Shame Shame Shame.
If someone wants to sell their coins "slabbed" then they should go to the trouble, Time and expense of getting it graded by a reputable TPG and THEN list it, NO deception that way.
OR simply list a coin "Raw" and describe it honestly and accurately With decent pics :ok:

Blackmamba was keen to start a TPG once he finished getting out of the army organised. The ebay name mambamamba reminded me of the username. Here's one thread where he mentioned setting up a TPG.

Good news ........ the BS slab item has been ended.

Hmmm... I wonder if calling something "Downies gVF" would get a higher price than just "gVF"? Because that's what seems to be happening with PCGS.

Whichever system one chooses (and Sheldon seems more consistent and easier to follow), there is no justification for including a company name in the description. Other than trying to deceive, of course. :diablo:
