If it's doing it now then shouldn't be this. I was actually thinking that it's because of the upgrade that it's a problem, because I've not upgraded my ipad but I don't get any ads.. But I guess not. Just thinking out loud.
-
@azda have you upgraded both your mac/ipad to the newest iOS yet? iOS 10 I think it is.
-
There's not a lot I can do. I just think the update needs to be done, but sometimes there are things that stop working unless you have a certain version of something installed and if not then upgrade that before doing the update blah blah, so I'd rather leave the forum updates to Chris.

More chances of bargains with BINs, because if you spot them the moment they are listed you can grab them there and then of course ... but Scott's right, if you can be bothered putting in the time you will still find good coins at low prices in auctions too, maybe through listing errors, poor pics, mis-attribution, and so on
I can't be bothered trawling though them all any more, I look at newly listed early milled and hammered once or twice a week, knowing I will miss some and occasionally get lucky
I bought a brockage once which was just listed as 'odverse coin', needless to say it went pretty cheap

I'm now having serious issues on The MacBook due to ads popping up in every page i click, when i scroll The pointer over "activity button" it doesn't highlight it and so can't look through The latest posts.
Yes, i cleared cookies etc but these are Are becoming a nuisance and rendering The forum very difficult and problematic due to these. I have 2 large ads down the left and right of my screen and can only see The middle......
Can we please STOP with the ads, its getting bloody annoying now
I've had to post this on my ipad as i can't click The link for this specific topic on The MacBook
No idea what's going on, ads haven't just been switched on so it's not a case of pressing a button to stop them, if it was a forum addition it would show on all your devices, not just the macbook. @Chris Perkins, a few people have mentioned having issues with clicking the submit reply button, could be something to do with the update?

They also say that you are not allowed to include expenses as part of the costs. When they stop charging fees and Royal Mail give a free delivery service, I would be quite happy not to include these overheads too.
Well that's just right out stupid.. so to use Catawiki you need to offer free P+P and free delivery?
-
Some good points there Leo, perhaps this will settle down as the euro coin hub of auctions.
- eBay eventually cracked down on the high postage fees by charging a percentage against your postage, too.
-
I'd agree with you, Ian. Although I would note that the 2 coins are taken in very different lights, and so any bag marks and dings might be masked slightly by the over-exposure on the second example.
Overall, the second one looks a lot cleaner (neat and tidy, not cleaned!), the rim on the first one has it's fair share of knocks.

There seems to be something awry with my Predecimal account that means I can only post with my phone and not my laptop - so typing is a bit laborious! Any admins fancy having a look at that for me? Some lock file or something maybe?
Send me a PM with any info you have (what shows or doesn't show, if you can/can't log in etc) and I'll have a gander

A very interesting R over B on your profile picture Gary. Could you share the details regarding this error please?
Considering Gary hasn’t been on the forum lately does anyone from here recognise this error?
I believe it was on an 1861 halfpenny Jac, here's a picture of the obv. Look to this thread, he mentions the find and extra info, but further down mentions that he has found another one.
-
I think one line in that sums it all up - par for the course on eBay. You get what you pay for here.
I will add that a member on here bought the first listing of the dot penny at the same price as me (3 pound) and did actually receive the coin in the photograph. It was a genuine oversight by the seller, but certainly they should not be re-using pictures, they really should know better. But as I know all too well, there are caveats galore when buying on eBay, so it's always in consideration.

Picked up today to celebrate the end of French rule 950 years after it began.
From ebay?

On this occasion I will name and shame, because the seller specifically deals with coins and has been doing so for a very long time. This is bad practice and shouldn't happen on a 99p coin or a 500 pound one.

The only thing I take from this is that people accept or are at least very forgiving of eBay items with faults that every dealer or TPG would be castigated for selling or misdescribing. Stop persisting with eBay and accept it for the den of thieves that it is. Pay proper money for something rather than expecting everything to be a bargain for few pence and then complain that your Petition Crown turned out to be a Churchill. It is only greed (on both sides of the transaction) that makes people persist with eBay
Sounds like an extremely broad generalisation. I wasn't forgiving and did what I would do whether it was an ebay seller or auction house, contacted the seller, explained the error, received a refund. I do pay proper money for coins, both on ebay and off ebay, I also pay less than the value on coins, both on ebay and off ebay.
I get the qualms with it, and no I didn't complain that my coin was something different, I didn't whine and moan about how unfair ebay is or about how I didn't get a million pound coin for a few quid, I was just pointing out a good buy initially and then updating everyone on the situation afterwards.
Your last comment is just completely out of whack - so when I buy a nice coin to add to my collection, it's greed because it's from ebay? So when I make a listing for any coin I sell and I always start my listings at 99p..... greed?
I get you don't like to use ebay Rob, but that doesn't mean everyone who does use it are automatically subscribing to bourgeoisie monthly.

A nice surprise earlier today, thought I'd do a quick check on the newly listed and this was the newest listing -
£3.25 BIN with free postage to Spain, bonus!
Well I already knew this wasn't turning up as I'd been told it's already in another member's hands
alas I received a normal 1946 this morning.
At least it's in a good home-

I see Gary, just rubbing it in

I have one
For sale?

I think they're scans? But he's right, you should up the scan quality!
-
Also they're pretty nicely tucked away so aren't very obtrusive, at least not on my screen.
-
The only ads on the forum are the catawiki, amazon and the Petitioncrowncoins ad. Everything else is more than likely just cookies following you around. Try clearing your cookies then they should disappear.

If it was just the one, and they'd looked at the lot, rather than stopping at the first one they found, then it's only a 0.08% find rate, and probably quite representative as it was a fair sized sample. Either that, or there were more, but they were so good, they escaped scrutiny.
That's true, I'm relying on them identifying every fake in that batch which they probably can't do, especially not if they are as good as that one that kept passing the coin slot test.

Need a screenshot Pete, shouldn't be ads down the sides.

I believe the Nexus 7 runs Chrome as default(?), if that's the case it will have it's own ad-blocker installed.
There's been no forum updates in a while, but this could also be the problem, if there are sneaky ads which have figured a way to leech into the site then the forum providers will have released a patch, it could just be that the patch hasn't been done yet.
