Hows it an oversight? Generous person donated coin, recipient selling it..Bad taste still in mouth.

Yep, how I see it as well!

I have several coins here at the moment that have been given to me by forum and non forum members.

I would feel very guilty to sell these "gifts" but I would not hesitate to pass them on to someone who really need it/them at no cost and then to advise the giver what I had done.

I can remember when I forwarded some coins to a forum member that he/she had asked me to get for him/her.   I went to the show, got the coins and passed them on at cost with no inflated price.

The next thing the coins were up on ebay at a greatly inflated price.

Never again did I accept orders from that person.

Sorry, that's just me.

Perhaps I'm overly generous, but I can imagine mistakes being made, and prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt. I have a forum member who owes me about three grand worth of coins, and I'm still hopeful I haven't been stiffed, that its just down to real world complications. Life does that kind of thing to us sometimes.

Yes, it leaves a bad taste, but I'm not quite ready to write people off until all the facts are in. Call me naive if you like.

Regardless, the seller's reaction will be most telling.

Call me naive if you like.

I don't consider it Naïve to hope for the best in people Fulvio, I would consider that you have a generous and forgiving nature thinking that way  Mate :ok:

I tended to side with fulvio and give the benefit of the doubt  (Initially ) but seeing that this has been relisted after all the comments made  about this, it is just rude and insensitive.
Why not simply poke a stick in emu's eye .
This bloke is a great asset to the forum and a bloody nice human being to boot, He hasn't posted since this event and quite frankly I don't blame him one iota.

Maybe we should all bid on it & see how high we can get it to.

Relisted? Seriously?

Do I need to update my scumbag file?

Do I need to update my scumbag file? Sad

No need for that fulvio , As this is such a rare occurrence amongst the civilized  collectors on this forum it can be committed to memory :ok:

OK, I think we've all made our point here.  Closing this thread again.
