If any members are interested I will give a 6% discount off the trademe reserve listing price. If a bid is made & reserve is met then the opportunity will be gone & the auction will run its course. I am cashing in some gold to guy a new detector. Thanks & good luck out there JW :) ALL SOLD. THANKS :) BRING ON THE NEW DETECTOR :) Edited by user Sunday, 28 October 2012 1:44:27 AM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

You would have to be a jafa with no consience to rip people off like that & then laugh & gloat about it. Ok...the bidders are dictating the price but I am sure they are totaly unaware of the microscopic gold they will be getting. Your listing is VERY misleading, complete with hugely enlarged photo to make it even more so. Even though in your defence you do say .100 grams you should have something in the photo to give a true representation of the ACTUAL size...... I await the feedback you will be getting with interest. I dont think it will be pretty. JW

HARDLY mate, You even said it BIDDERS are dictating price... So HOW is is somehow my fault they WANT to pay large prices? I am not misleading as i always read a auction like everyone should and i say 2 important things if they want to buy gold... This is a ENLARGED PICTURE and GOLD IS SOLD BY THE WEIGHT... not my fault people dont want to listen or read or care about that.. I put up auctions at $1 not knowing what i would get and i got alot back and now you say im ripping people off ? Also dont await the feedback start reading it.... as theres already some and they are happy... You sound very spiteful and that upsets me as i dont understand why ? i am listing all the details and what they should pay and they wont pay that and its my fault? Also what do you mean at least your gold is real? Are you saying im selling fake gold? You know why a jafa like me is making money cause i sat down and worked all this out and did it right. Payed good $$ for it and selling it in small amounts people can afford... (even tho its going up like crazy) Also notice when i look on trade me there is NO OTHER GOLD..... could also be a case of supply and demand.... I was interested in buying your gold to sell back to the U.S but with that attitude... wow dont think i want to deal with you calling me a jafa with no consience's ripping people off.

Dont know how you can accurately measure 0.1 grams anyway. Please put an accurate photo depicting what people get for there money, dare you to.

Hi Scorpio, It is the way you laugh & gloat about it that annoys me. I have been in touch with one of the winners of one of your auctions & made him aware of EXACTLY what he is going to get. He was peeved to say the least to find out what he is going to get that is really only worth $6.80 at the most. Not the amount he won it for. Be interersting to see what feedback he leaves you. I arent a nasty person but fair & honest. JW

That is 1/10th of a gram which is only worth $6.80. It wasnt 1 gram ($68 worth) that you were bidding on. Were you aware of that?? jw26 (1234 ) 10:13 pm, Mon 22 Oct Yea a bit peeved, when I converted I didn't notice I had .1oz instead of g. As the saying goes "shit happens" ( I wonder if there is a zip bag small enough to make .100g look as if there is something in it ) cheers. 2:41 am, Tue 23 Oct You really are just a jealous person... Going out to find my winners and then asking them this? Dude grow up please..... Even he said it he thought it was .1oz ( not my fault if you dont read and i clearly put it up twice) And hes not as peeved as you make it sound.... Also there is zip bag small enough.. it the one i use for all the people who have come collect. Either way mind your own business and stay out of mine. cant belive you would go do that.... Your like a saboteur...

My whole point is WHY have i been made out to be the bad guy when ive been 100% honest up front and communicated with people, and why is this guy going out of his way to try get my auction winners upset?. They BID on my auctions and WON it ? and now its my fault for OVER charging them ? no they bidded that price and as auctions go even if the price goes up they have to at least honor it.... If anyone is unhappy cause they made a mistake about it then they can contact me about it... however no one has complained about it so i dont understand why all the hate at me for this ? At least i dont go on other people auctions trying to get them to post bad feedback about someone. I also offered the guy extra because of his mistake. So i dont think im being childish at all. I think yous need to let it go seriously. Im only a young guy trying to give this a go and i cant believe the way you guys have taken to a new guy trying to start something... And yes i will look at taking a photo of how much they will actually get. However i dont think doing one for every single one is worth the time for how much it is.

There are 31.1 grams in an oz. This person has sucked in many with his listings & I think it is disgraceful. In his defence he does list it as .100 grams but this along with his hugely enlarged photo is quite misleading. You need to give him the negative feedback he deserves. Sorry to come on to your auction but I am sure there will be many peeved people out there when they realise. Good luck. JW :) jw26 (1234 ) 7:11 am, Tue 23 Oct Wow what thing to say im suckering in people... disgraceful... You go on about my photo .... omg get over it I used the photo of the batch instead of taking 25 single photos to save time. Next time i WILL include a photo showing the size next to coin as i have learned from this.. (i ALSO state in the auction its enlarged photo and gold sold by weight) as i have learned that's what all YOU guys want and are crying about... I like how you tell him he NEEDS to give me negative feedback ? (also his case is a case of he used the wrong measurements and i offered him a free bonus and your telling him how disgraceful i am..) Am i the only one here shocked at how these guys are taking this ? Edited by user Tuesday, 23 October 2012 4:37:19 PM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
