Topic: Selling three 1 ounce gold bars (Read 1957 times)

Yes, he stopped posting after he was called out and did not log in for a couple of weeks now

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/goldfish17-960706

He probably ditched the account and created a new one, a fresh start to try scamming again under a different identity

sorry I didn't want to dig up an old thread, I was just going through the forum looking for gold sellers and stumbled across this. Yeah after reading he's a ripper, I was just sayin' in general.

this guy was called out a long time ago.

obvious scammer.

Selling fakes with escrow wouldn't work unless the buyer is retarded and tells escrow to release and doesn't take them in to verify their legitimacy.

I was waiting for someone to suggest that

why don't you post the transactions TX and anybody can look up the date and hour of this actual (supposed?) deal?

Exactly,

If you were legit you would have been smart to use my free service to vet you, instead you went a shady route, bailed on the meetup,  and made some claim of dudes doing cashless transactions lol

Man you are gonna have to learn the hard way that trust isn't an easy thing to earn here, and I think you just lost whatever you may have had if any.

But looking back at your previous posts on buying other accounts and ebay whatevers lol , its pretty self explanatory.

oh and "Don't spread FUD because you are butthurt you couldn't "verify" my gold."  That was a favor for you, although you may be too shady and scammy to see that , and for the community to weed out scammers such as yourself.

have a good day

If you dont wanna go to the store or call them and ask then you dont have any business calling me shady,

It is more the fact that you agreed to meet up then bailed. Which looks shady.

Go to coin galleries of oyster bay in lynbrook on sunrise highway. Ask an employee if he oversaw 2 men, one in his 20s and one in his 40s, make a cashless deal. He'll remember because the guy had no idea what bitcoin was and was totally confused. Don't spread FUD because you are butthurt you couldn't "verify" my gold.

ok lol suuuuure, looking back at your previous posts as others should as well , I HIGHLY doubt anything you say here on this forum has any truth to it.

Not trustworthy in my book at all, to set up a meeting then conveniently sell them the same day as our meeting, with no cancellation notice or otherwise, which avoided any actual verification from a trusted member....lol

I actually told the OP I would test them for free for him, and might not even purchase any gold, but would actually buy some of the silver on the spot he was boasting about.

So this is not a butthurt situation by any means, as I clearly told him I may not be buying the bars when we meet but might have some others who are interested, and would pay in BTC, if it was verified to be real.

It goes to show you how some "people" get weeded out simply by offering some free "testing" lol

some examples:

yea good luck selling anything else here

I would advise other members to research this user's previous posts which contain looking to purchase a sr members account and other "things"

thanks!

Gold bars were sold to a local from craigslist. We met at a local coinstore in Lynbrook and he paid me in bitcoin Thanks for consideration all I'll close this thread out

sounds very goldFISHY to me

More important, is it a Hyacinth Macaw?

(Those things are *loud* and can mimic human speech perfectly. Creepy as heck. :-)

Yeah, you never did post this either. Also, don't get so wound up by people asking questions if you're going to post in the trading forum.. especially if you're selling expensive gold bars that have plenty of counterfeits in circulation.

OK,

So it's been an hour and I am not going to hear back from this newbie or I would have already.

I will NOT be meeting him today or any other day for that matter, as I dont have time for games.

It is apparent to me that he had plenty of time and opportunity to view my messages and reply with at least some lame excuse why he can't make the meeting in less than 1 hour from now.

It seems he only replies when I post in the main thread as well.

I am moving on with my day.

So good luck with anyone wanting to buy from this person.

I will not be verifying any of these items, so buyer beware, and factor in your own risk.

I am washing my hands from this, and was simply doing this as as service for the community.

thanks!

"Local deli close to my house" explains it. The best move at McDonald's is the sausage egg and cheese sandwich!


And pizza bagels! Those are the best of both worlds.

It's hard to get a good bagel where I'm at...and a chicken finger sub.

Well i contacted the seller/OP late last night and it's about 10:15 am here, and suggested a time and place to meet, I have not gotten a reply back yet. and I suggested to meet around noon today in less than 2 hours from now.

If I dont get any sort of reply, within the hour, I will simply mark this off as a no show and move on with my day.

You can deal at your own risk.

Thanks!

You can XRF test gold bars through the certicard, no need to remove the packaging to establish authenticity.

The problem that I find with high premium bars that come sealed such as perth mint and pamp suisse is that they can be easily faked. No one wants to lose the premium by opening up the packaging, which means no one is able to do a scratch test which gives away fakes easily. That's why I don't hold any high premium gold/silver.

So im not sure why, and i've mentioned this before why people think the scratch test means anything? or that you need to remove a piece of precious metal from an air tite or a case to verify its resistance and other methods?

Actually the acid test is probably the worst way to test as you are only scratching the surface...so what of you have a nice gold bar that is PLATED? and the inside is filled with tungsten? your "scratch test' would telll you it is real, but its a fake.

thanks!

There aren't many ways to test gold for purity, but by not being allowed to inspect it outside of it's packaging that high premium bars have, the ways in which you can test are greatly reduced.

The weight test is a good test which you cannot do if you have to weigh the packaging along with it.
[/quote]

I would imagine you can find the total weight for both the bar and package in the sealed bars and coins. For instance, an NGC slab that holds an american eagle is 40 grams. In terms of the multiple tests, I am pretty much clueless. I would imagine there is some type of electronic scanner that can measure density and purity.

[/quote]

There are many tests you can perform without touching the actual metal

Through a slab, etc. If you aren't aware, GIYF

But hopefully I will be able to meet up with the OP to see, although OP, you haven't replied to my last few messages??? so who knows.

Thanks!
