General lots and collections

Sells mostly collections, mostly US material. This guy is catching up with Roecy and NY Stamps in the amount of US collections he sells. The material is lot of what you would find on the bargain table, which is not a bad thing. If you are starting a collection or want to fill holes with common stamps, he is a good place to start.

2008 update: Not only has 2007 gone buy without complaints or negative feedback, I have recieved glowing reports about the material. As a result this dealer is awarded a medallion in 2008.

2010 update; Complaints back up again, almost all about quality, hidden problems. etc. I would point out that the seller does have 100% feedback so the best I can say about the seller is to continue to buy but examine carefully or get a certificate before leaving feedback.

April 2010: Despite glowing feedback I have a lot of email documenting large purchases on items which were not all what they seemed. (lots with the most expensive items being fakes). In all instances the buyers have been able to claim a refund as the time it takes to get a certificate is longer than the period allowed. Writing to Golden Hoard will elicit no reponse.

July 2010: Seller has gone down from 100% in April to 99.5% feedback and recently made feedback private (to avoid embarrasment). Seller has stopped selling with this user name.

2011 Update: Out of business, changed name

The creator of many complaints.

mm-stamps

Large General Lots, heavily weighted with German material.

Their auctions feature bookcases stuffed with albums, groups, collections and singles. They had a terrible rap for showing a few good items and shipping tons of junk. That seems to have gone and now they are possibly a place to find a bargain. Althougth the lots are chock full of fakes and forgeries they do a much better job of putting a question mark against them. Shipping expenses are a killer.

As would be expected (read comments on MM to your left) most of the complaints (in German so you will have to translate it) refer to the material being full of fakes or being a whole lot of Kiloware material. They do get kudos for their quick shipping, however the shipping charges are steep.

Jan 2008 Update: Still getting negative feedback about the stamps being forgeries

September 2008 Update: Seller appears to be out of business.

July 2010: Seller back in business with only one unworthy negative feedback this time. Cleaned up their act. Gets award this year. At 100% feedback.

Jan 2012 Update: Took a bad hit on not competing sale

Negative feedback appears not to have been sellers fault, seller offers refunds if not happy. Feedback is getting worse though. December 2006 update: Wow! how fast can you slide downhill. Last thirty feedback are 50% negative. One to avoid, seems the seller has a problem shipping the item to the wining bidder.

A lot of negative about false advertising, not getting what they purchased, receiving junk and not receiving anything. Seller has refunded in some cases, not replied to emails complaining in other cases. Buyer beware.
