These flames are really getting out of hand. I've been called
a cheat, a liar, a con-man (even though I'm a woman), and in
one particularly interesting e-mail, a "fucking whore". Why?
Because my husband died and I have the audacity to try and
sell his personal coin collection that I know nothing about.
Excuse me, I apologize for my ignorance when it comes to coin
collecting, but I'm not going to waste my time taking courses
in the subject just to sell a small collection of coins. And
I'm not going to waste my friends' time (the one who owns
the coin store) by going back to him and spending another day
grading all of these coins. I do not know how to grade coins.
I suppose it would make everyone happy if I just picked some
arbitrary number and graded them that way without knowing
what I'm doing, but then I'd once again be labeled a cheat
because I'd be lying about the condition of the coins. I may
think a coin is in great shape, but someone else much more
knowledgeable than me might think it's a piece of crap and
think I'm trying to cheat him. I'm not going to take that
chance, and that's why I explicitly stated in my original ad
that I'm not knowledgeable about coin collecting. I left it
up to the potential buyer to take the chance. I did not
falsify information, I didn't lie or cheat anyone, and the
only thing I'm guilty of is ignorance. I also get plenty of
e-mail from people explaining how the grading system works,
what coin collectors look for, etc. etc. I could care less
about this crap, and I'm certainly not going to take the
time to learn it. So all of you who are truly trying to do
a good deed by explaining the procedures to me, please don't
waste our time or bandwidth because I won't bother reading
it. I'm sorry if this sounds offensive and I apologize to
anyone who may have taken my responses to some ignorant
flamers the wrong way. But I will surely not apologize to
those to whom I responded, especially those who accused me
of being a cheat (and *especially* the jerk who called me
a "fucking whore" - may he rot in hell). Yes, I will
continue to sell the coins that I still have and I will
ignore the flames and delete the nasty e-mail without
reading past the second line or responding. If people feel
that the price is right and worth the risk, they will buy
the coins, as many already have without a single complaint
(Funny how it's only those who have no interest in
purchasing the coins that have a problem with it). Those
who feel it's not worth the risk have no obligation to
purchase them. I'm an honest person, I'll send out the
items upon payment, and I won't screw anyone over - other
than the type and year of the coin, that's all I can
guarantee.

Thank you,
Teri
