I'm stuck in Turkey and happy to help you find Turkish coins

If any of you are looking for Turkish coins (1940s and up) to complete your collection, tell me what you're looking for and I'll search the antique stores and mail it to you for the cost, a 15% commission and mail cost.

Yes, but read the title - he is stuck in Turkey !

Citeer: "ZacUK"​ Yes, but read the title - he is stuck in Turkey !

​Oops, should probably go to bed.

To krubesh, please accept my apologies.

I would like any of these (all 1 Lira) 20 coins listed below,
but they are modern so would not be found in antique stores I guess ...

But please find out their costs first, in case they are expensive and I
then do not want to buy them. Thanks !

@ Krubesh,

Sorry, your profile does not match the forum policy for selling coins.

He is not selling them - he has none to sell.
He says he is going into stores to get them, with a list
of what members want.

Hi zack,

Reason for which I did not simply scrap the message. Nevertheless, breaching the policy.

This is going to be interesting to watch. France declared war to UK.

Hi Andy,

Long time no see ;-)

I didn't miss you if this is what are you asking. Focus on the subject, the OP smuggles and someone has to stop him until it's too late and he left the Turkey.

Citeer: "VieillePile"​Hi zack,
​
​Reason for which I did not simply scrap the message. Nevertheless, breaching the policy.

​ Obviously you think you are better than me - you had better delete it then.

This should go into the swap and sales section. The fact that he’s charging a 15% commission is a mercantile activity.

i don’t personally mind that he’s selling. But considering he does not have any ratings and is quite new to Numista, it certain is a caveat emptor situation. The Numista rules are pretty clear about this. So I see VieillePile just doing his (thankless) job. If he did not point it out, I’m sure other members would eventually critique Numista for not doing anything about it

Hi Zac,

Sorry for any possible misunderstanding.

Frankly speaking, I don't give one, being better or worse than anybody.

Obvious sales post / not complying with the policy / reported as such / should have been deleted / member banned for 30 days.
You allready expressed your wish for 21 coins.
For that very reason, I did not simply delete that post, but draw attention for less experienced collectors.

Oh well, two against one - you and ashlobo win.
Sorry

Fight ZacUK, you need coins. France will invade your country. Drive away enemies from the realms of the kingdom.

just to clarify, I’m only throwing in my two cents here ;). You could still go ahead and make a deal with Kabresh. If it goes well, you could leave him a rating and it would give other members more confidence especially coming from you. But at this point given he only signed up last month and has no ratings, you would be taking a leap of faith especially if you paid him fully/partially before you have the coins in your hands.

What about sales policy ashlobo? When you say "you could still go ahead and make a deal" it's like you don't have a problem regarding the policy being violated but instead promoting such an action. Should Numista members understand that rules are enforced just for certain members and Numista Team (moderators, admins, etc) can change the rules in their favor at discretion?

As at least one of the people who reported the topic I feel obliged to come to the aid of our beleaguered moderators. First though, let me make clear that it's not intended as a slight of the OP who I have no axe to grind with and certainly not the most sublime ZacUK for whom I have the highest regard. It seems a fair offer, Zac certainly thinks so, just conclude it privately and all should be well?

If you're taking a payment for coins, you're selling them, period. Even if you're selling them at a considerable loss as is often the case. A 15% mark up plus costs is better than many can manage. Almost every retail worker in the world is paid via commission, car dealers for example.... they're sure as sh!t not going to be giving me my next F250! So it's most definitively a sales post, albeit a somewhat oblique one and 100% not permitted. I can't add much to what Ashlobo has already said.

At least in part, my motive for reporting transgressions is the harsh treatment of Andy, who IS eligible! It's certainly not with the intent of causing discord within the moderating team, so please accept my apologies for the unintended consequences. Thanks to you both for making the Numista forums a safer and better place.

ZacUK and VieillePile

Entente Cordiale! Please

France and UK have not been at war since 1815 - even the idea that Louis Napoleon may wage war on Britain in 1869 was quashed when said empereur seeked exile in a suburb in London.

Don't let Edward VII's intentions go to waste.

Now hug and make up - I agree though, new member no proven track record - why would anyone instantly ask him for swaps - red flags shoot up - you send money and never see coins. Your money disappears into the great Bizarre in Constantinople.

Hi Guys,

Much ado about nothing ;-)
No issue for me, neither with Zac, nor with Andy.

I usually do not read what happens on the english side.
Since somebody reported the post, I checked.
Post breaching the policy, should have been deleted without notice, to protect members from possible scam.
Late response from my part, a member allready expressed his interest.

But since he is an experimented collector, able to cope with usual tricks, I did not delete the post, that's all. Nothing to do with " Numista team and RoW" ;-)

@Moneytane: no special war with England neither ;-) I am too aware of the links / ties between the two countries to consider England as a foreign country.
Just a few exemples:

• Louis Napoléon (Napoléon IVth) died as a british officer,
  
• The royal banner of King Richard I counts 3 lions because of the family banners : Aliénor d'Aquitaine, one lion + Henri II, duke of Normandy, two lions)
  
• Honni soit qui mal y pense,
  
• Dieu est mon droit
  
• We still have some regions in France where Brian, James, among others, are just regular, traditional first names...
  
• We shared for centuries the same Livre / Pound system
  

I must admit that we sometimes had some issues, but all quarrels between the two countries are just family ones ;-)

derf (blessed be his memory) was also an experienced collector who was able smell any possible scam tricks but your reaction was totally different. Don't be pathetic with these excuses, we can see clearly your biased moderation. You invent new rules every day to sustain your behavior.
