If you had a big dispute with a coin dealer or grading service, would you.......

appear on 'Judge Judy' to resolve your problem? I have yet to see a 'coin' judgement.

Not a chance!

She appears to have it in for men in general!

[gmarguli]

No, because I don't believe she could render an unbiased opinion. I believe she rules more based on how she likes the person rather than the facts.

 

However, I would have NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER filing a lawsuit against a dealer or grading service if I felt I was wronged.

Goose....Don't most of them?

I saw one episode of that Texas judge show, whatever his name is, where they had a guy who got ripped on a bunch of junk coins. They showed one that was like a super sized silver eagle, obviously only worth bullion, that the fool paid a premium for. The judge ruled against him in favor of the dealer.

One thing I hope I would never do is start a big thread about it......

So far I have been fortunate in my dealings with folks, and that even includes returning coins......

Agree. I think it should be handled privately. Although I might do some PM'ing to get some opinions.

 

There is always the tempatation to call a dealer out so if something doesn't get resolved is there a "duty" to post something like this? I dunno...

Bert, Judge Judy's Marshall is a coin collector. I saw him at the Long Beach show, two shows ago.

According to one Dealer, he was buying up some pretty nice material.

I think the author of this auction, linked by Greg to another thread, handled his situation in a very educational manner. With hope, many inexperienced collectors will learn from his mistake.
