The king of kings coin, who released the Certificate of Authenticity? Heritage International. Have a dealer interested but is trying to screw me down and I won't budge. LOL. Maybe this should be down in the whinge section., but I want to warn you folk of the 'shits' that are out there. As you know I have been listing heaps of coins and banknotes on Z. Well today just out of curiousity I decided to check out this trader who has been screwing me down to a rock bottom price, then relisting on TM. Well here comes the CRUNCH, this shit is using my photos, my description and listing on TM. In other words, get the buyer then purchase off moi at rock bottom prices. I have the links to these listings to prove it and one particular item I made the wooden frame to mount the coins. AND ITS STILL IN MY LOUNGE. SO beware, if anyone wants his username feel free to PM me. I am so pissed off that this sort of thing can happen. I have contacted both trading sites but as of now no reply. Grrrrrr!!!!!

Sorry to hear this Capt., and it's pretty pitiful that he is using your pics and descriptions etc., but this really goes to show you must be very careful to research your product prices and set appropriate reserves when listing on the smaller auction sites...
I have also noted wanted ads on the z site that seem innocent, but the crafty buyers know exactly what they are looking for, high priced items at the cheapest possible price. I'm not trying to run any site down here, but seller beware...

Yes Oasis, I think I can be as cunning as others sometimes, but I could never stoop so low as to use other peoples material to list. Its the old story, find the buyer and then get the stock. Well in this case I hope they fetch high prices for these items, as I have blocked him, so he will have some upset customers when he finds he can not get the goodies from moi. LMAO.

Are you saying he is listing on TM before even securing the sale off you? Blardy hell!

Yep you have hit the nail right on the head. I have the link to my listing and the same item, I have the link to his listing. I made the wooden oak frame to house these two coins and it is still here in my lounge unsold. I have found 15 items of mine that I still have that he has copied and listed over at TM. I wish in these cases when reported that admin would get off their arses and do something. This was reported to both sites before 10 am this morning.

Unbelievable, he has really shot himself in the foot here, this is a complete SCANDAL! It's not like me to set about harming someone else's business, but what I'm seeing is hard to comprehend, what a shyster! I think even scambusters should get wind of this one!

PS, I think you should up your reserve on zillion Capt., I did have a wee look at what these coins went for last on tm when you listed them, just one (the geordian 3 I think) was going for over a hundred dollars... PPS, if you want me to sell on your behalf on TM, just let me know, sorry mate, but things like this should not be listed on zillion...

Thanks Oasis I also feel that this needs bringing to as many peeps notice as possible. It could happen to anyone without their knowledge. I only stumbled over this through being bored and lurking on TM's site.

Honestly, it will be getting exposure alright, the google stats for this site are quite impressive Hell, if the boys at the whinge pit get wind of it, you'll get even more exposure, better go and up those reserves mate, I might be tempted to bid myself!

You need to up your reserves Captain, I'll be honest and tell you I have been tempted to bid myself, I know one of your items went for hundreds over there, and you sold for $35! I feel a bit stuck between a rock and a hard place, my honest thought to you is to withdraw your listings from zillion, the site is simply NOT suited to this type of sale by auction. Yet I do not want to ruin someone else's dream of an auction website, Dylan and team have an amazing system in place over there. List them here Capt., and I'll guarantee you get top dollar for them...

my tip MD... is to put your trader name OVER the picture - smack bang in the middle - people can still see the goods but can't pinch the photo (easy done with "paint") - remove your auctions on Z for now until it is all settled...
