    :signofftopic:   Note:  While I   sympathize with the plight of your friend, posting a solicitation for money on an essentially personal, non-numismatic matter, is not in accordance with the Board Guidelines.

    There are members in good standing here who have suffered cataclysmic losses due to Acts of God, including flooding and wind damage and not a few who have endured financial ruin, irreversible health problems, some brought on by advanced age.

    This is a Forum devoted to Numismatics running the gamut of coin collection and contributing, incrementally, to increasing the body of knowledge. 

    D.W. Lange, as you may have heard, has similarly been laid low by cancer.  A stalwart, NGC mainstay, he is deserving of every consideration if only the membership knew what to do beyond PMg him with assurances he remains in our thoughts.  You understand.

     Who the heck do you think you are?  Did someone make you a moderator or something?  If not, just move along.

    Yeah, that sucks. Alot.

    I've known Michelle since we were kids. This girl is like a sister to me. I love her more than my actual sister.

    Anyways, she moved in while I was in Israel, in September. In early October, she invited me out to the back porch and told me that she was diagnosed with Stage 1 Cancer. They caught it early, it hasn't spread, it's localized... all "good" news.

    She is having Surgery on December 2, and hopefully everything will all be ok after that. It's supposed to be a relatively easy process.

    Michelle loves flowers. They bring her joy. They brighten her day. They will help her recovery. Please help me fill her room with so many flowers! I've created a GoFundMe, and I would really very much appreciate your help. Thank you.

    I lost my 16 year old nephew to cancer.  Donated 1, because cancer sucks.  And 2, out of spite to QA.

    You too, Mr. Even Fewer Followers. 

    I also wonder which is more.  You're "followers", or the number of people who have you on ignore, or the number of people who have joined and left because of your braggadocio and holier than thou persona.  Maybe I will just have to ask management, as you often suggest.

    It's hard to predict how long a coin will sit on a buy it now listing on ebay

    A 7-day auction could be a good way to go. But you never know what the outcome is going to be. You'd probably want to set a reserve so someone doesn't get too much of a "steal" on them. Only problem there is you could end up with nothing after a 7 day wait if the reserve isn't met.

    Be careful setting reserves.  You pay a fee for that based on the reserve price you set.  Much better off setting the starting bid at a price you are comfortable selling at, and hope a few people really want the coin.

    Thank you! I appreciate the warm welcome. [When I informed my sister what had transpired her reaction was not unlike that of  Jimmy Conway's (Robert DeNiro) after Henry Hill (the late Ray Liotta) shot Spyder: "What's this world coming to?" 

    That's why I love NGC. I will see how things go, and if the coast is clear, I will renew my membership at the prevailing standard non-discounted rate on June 1st.]  😉 

    Ah, but it was Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) who shot Spider.  Both times.  ;)

    P.P.S.  Gentlemen, the formal reason given for my dismissal was "contentiousness." A review was conducted and a spokesman speaking on behalf of a consortium of [acronyms] granted me a reprieve which can be countermanded, per Guideline rules, for any reason or no reason at all.  I believe a handful of members enjoy unconditional immunity. I do not. 🐓 

    Glad to see you back.
