Has anyone ever bought from coin portfolio

[sovereignsteve]

Essentially I don't think their establishment can cope with all these orders. At their usual prices, I would think they just quietly tick over with a few orders here and there.

I ordered 10 of the BU coins from abroad (after I placed the order from Coin Portfolio) and they arrived today.

It's not the whole idea pal. It seems to me, that the idea for some users is just to hassle other users.

[silverdreamracer]

Coinportfolio must have got a heads up about this forum and decided to change their strategy and post them with tracking (Just like other good dealers do) straight away instead of keeping everyone on a string with their 3-5 days to never nonsense!

[Silverstackeruk]

Tbh I don't know why everyone is worried about the delay...the coins were actually for reserve and not instock..I've reserved coins before and they have taken 2 months to arrive with the dealer hence having to reserve them.

They should of been more honest about delivery time but the service is as good and I will certainly be keeping a eye on there site from now on.

Must admit I view this website as an information sharing platform where we can all benefit from learning things that we didn't already know.

I have posted in this particular thread any and all information I know so as others can benefit. Whether that information provides reassurance, peace of mind or additional knowledge I don't know but it's all valuable etc

If we all go down the route of withholding info or only divulging selective details etc it sort of defeats the object doesnt it?

It's not a bleeding competition pal. We can all do the "search the internet for coin deals" thing, it's not difficult.

The whole idea of this forum is to share views, ideas and deals. It saves everyone having to keep an eye on every deal and dealer out there. Not everyone can afford the time to do this and unless a contact gives someone a commercial advantage, there's really no need to be selfish.
I realise you'll always get some leeches who lurk in the background without being bothered to put the work in themselves but most people are genuine and deserve a little help if it's there and doesn't disadvantage the finder in any way. You'll even get the odd prat who'll leech everyone elses ideas and contacts while keeping their own to themselves, but these people aren't usually welcomed and eventually f off back to their swamp.

There have been many deals posted on here that have greatly benefited forum members without any detriment to the finder. It's good to share

As I said, there are some people on here that just like to hassle others. Leeches, selfish and swamp are terms you use to describe me when you don't know the first thing about me. Maybe you should go and hang out with your mate.

Maybe the forum administrator would like to do something about this crap.

Just a minute mate, what gives you the idea I was talking about you?

You quoted me for starters. The tone of your comment IMPLIES that some of it is referring to me at the very least. At least to some people anyway.

[sovereignsteve]

Look, if I gave you the impression I was referring to you then I'm sorry but you should really read what I said.

As you pointed out, I don't know the first thing about you personally. I have no idea whether you leech other people's ideas. I never said you did. I was merely ranting about this type of person, whom I despise, without reference to persons, living or deceased.

Anyway, I got my tracking email this afternoon too
