The Coin Collector Group Rules

comprises of a few select groups on Facebook that specialise in coin collecting, These groups have been set up by collectors for collectors to buy, sell, swap and auction their items and in the process help others with their collections.

These groups are predominantly for selling and swapping coins – They are not for getting valuations on your pocket change. If you want to value your items please read the section marked VALUATIONS.

* Only Admin can do Raffles or Bonus Balls so please do not ask. *

Most of these groups operate on a first come first serve basis at the discretion of the person selling the item. Be sure to check that the group owners have not made specific requisites for their groups before posting.

People that Hijack sales by IM, Queue jumpers and timewasters should be reported to admin.

For legal reasons the minimum age to join this group is 16 unless parental permission has been obtained.

Personal details including addresses and phone numbers are not allowed to be posted to the wall at any time. If found these posts or comments will be removed.

To join our groups, your facebook account must be older that 180 days.

Your facebook account must also be a real name ie Longback CrazyHorse will not be approved unless you can provide a birth certificate with that name on it.

SELLING PROTOCOLS
———————-

Most sellers ask for Paypal friends and family. It is free to use so no costs are incurred but it does offer NO security at all.
You should only use friends and family with people that you trust. If there is any doubt that you could lose a lot of money always pay by Goods and Services.
Paypal Goods and services takes a commission from the seller if you use this alternative. It is therefore commonly agreed that the buyer pays the extra fee to cover Recorded Post for tracking purposes and the extra commission charge. You can work out how much you would need to pay here

TRADES BY PM

———————-

We strongly advise that you do not conduct trades in private. Transparency provided by trading on the group wall only will help avoid those bad people that want to rip you off. They tend to watch out for you to show some interest in a particular item and then pounce on you in private message to do a deal. Most of the time these are NOT genuine trades – Please take care.

AUCTIONS
———————-

All auctions should be held in the Coin Collector Auction Room, Please check the auction room rules for more info. https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoinCollectorAuctions/

COMMENTING
———————-

20) Please do not comment on a Sale post unless you are interested in buying the item.

21) Always make your initial comment on the post that you are interested in, that way everyone can see who commented and in what order they did so.

22) If you tag a persons name in your own post, they will have first refusal.

23) If someone tags a friend in a post, that person has 60 minutes to reply before moving on to the next person.
