Prominent ebayer at it

[azda 979]

So, an ebay seller took an interest in the 1850 Shilling i had listed, sent obligatory offer, which i countered. He then also during our email discussions took an interest in the 1707 Halfcrown i had. Eventually we agreed a price and sent him it off. In the main, we were at a point that we had got to a roundabout figure for the shilling.

Yeterday i got an offer on the Shilling from elsewhere which i countered, so i thought i'd be a good seller and inform the buyer of the 1707 Halfcrown that there was some else also interested in the Shilling. I started my email by saying that i noticed he'd got the Halfcrown and i hoped he was happy with it. To my surprise he wrote this back (this is his exact email)

Hi,

I am not exactly thrilled with coin, you have sent it in a card envelope quite loose, and it has bad cabinet friction on the obverse more so that the pictures you posted on eBay, it a crying shame as this was once a cracking coin! I just don't no what to say!

I was a bit perplexed to say the least, and was wondering what he was talking about, so my next email asked if he could send a picture of the OBV to me to let me have a look, shortly after sending it off a quick reply came (again his exact email)

Hi,

The coin has cabinet friction due to transportation, it is really shiny on the high spots, I am annoyed also that you sent it loose in a packet so this could happen!

So i basically wrote back with this

Ok, i'm going to reply to this specific email. You've stated that the coin was sent in a card envelope, which is untrue. This coin was sent in an acid free small coin envelope, then was placed in a white jiffy bag which was then placed inside another white jiffy bag.

So tell me, what's your game plan Martyn? You think you're going to get something else off an 1850 shilling? You are seriously mistaken. I dislike people who try and bullshit others for their own little gameplan. Now i'll expect an apology from you.

So basically the arsehole was trying to pull a quick one and thought he was going to get a huge price reduction on the 1850. I seriously dislike arseholes like this..........mdagcoins you have been named and shamed....TOSSER!!!!

Agree a price in future and send when funds are received.

I'm sure your pictures were good enough.

Try using the little sealable plastic bags and sellotape to make sure the coin can't move.I also add a dab of tape to secure it in the jiffy.

Ask him to return the coin/coins and block him from future bidding.There are some nasty pieces of work out there but luckily most coin collectors and dealers play with a straight bat

Peter, it was impossible for the coin to move anywhere. What he's trying to do is say that its got huge cabinet friction and then tell me he wants a price reduction, but then tell me we can take it off the Shilling.

When i replied to him telling him he was bullshitting because of the way it was packed (no cardboard was involved in the making of that parcel) and would have been an improbability for it to have anymore wear than it showed in the pictures he then suddenly became very very quiet, especially when i told him what he was obviously trying to achieve by bullshiting.

He was immidiately blocked.

Right behind you Dave, eBay as a seller can be a right royal pain in the arse
