Talisman Coins Reviews

Since when are dealers obligated to acquiesce to the preposterous demands of the lunatic fringe? (It's a rhetorical question - they're not.) Does your stockbroker "buy back" stocks at the prices you demand?

NO! The market sets the prices, and you may sell them back into the market at a profit or a loss - as determined by the market. Charles Schwab and Merrill Lynch (for you, old-timer) don't buy your stocks back - they broker them back into the market. Duh.

Is real estate always sold at a profit? No, prices fluctuate based on supply and demand. That's why it's called a "market economy". Duh.

I talked with Talisman Coins about your so-called review, and they suggested that your knowledge of numismatics in particular, and investments in general, is about as sophisticated as your ridiculous "review" here. You need to educate yourself before buying numismatic coins then demanding your "profit" after a few years! P.S. - Your review is disingenuous, as Talisman Coins never made you any buy-back offers.

Rather, after having you yell at them and make atrociously unreasonable demands, they simply walked away. P.P.S. - You will always get more when selling directly to another collector. A dealer has to make a profit.

It appears that the "very positive 5 star review" was in fact written by someone at Talisman Coins; why else the "St. Louis" location I.D. at the top of the "review"?

The owner has the brains of a sack of hammers. Very rude, has an answer for everything, unfortunately it’s the wrong answer.

He’s a phone bully. Other than that, he’s a zero.

Hi, my name is Artur Gabrielyan, and I live at 15024 Avenida Venusto #154, San Diego, CA 92128. Not surprisingly, I hide behind multiple aliases, including "John Ryan" and "Jack Ryan" (that's right, I fancy myself a secret agent, even though I look nothing like Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck OR Chris Pine!).

I've literally had over a dozen phone numbers in the past few years, because I don't pay my phone bills and they get shut off, but if you want to call me, here are a few that might still work: 619-709-****; 559-515-****; 661-380-****.

Not surprisingly for an inherently dishonest slob, I also employ a slew of email addresses, too, to try to obfuscate and confuse you as I place multiple orders on your web site - orders I will only cancel later.

Some of these are: degeani@***.com; astoria41@***.com; and websterd94@***.com.

Did I mention that I'm a wanna-be coin dealer, who works out of my low-rent apartment? And that I place speculative orders on other company's web sites, orders that I can't afford and always end up canceling later? I do this because I wish I wish I wish I were a fish, or at least a real coin dealer, and I could be successful like a real coin dealer, but I'm not, so I'm not, and I'll probably never get it.

I guess I didn't mention that I placed four (04) orders with Talisman Coins, then canceled each and every one of them. Even though I'm theoretically their competitor.

Theoretically, meaning if I actually did more with coins than be jealous of others who've been in the business for more than a quarter century and actually treat people with dignity and respect. I was just messing with them because I'm a two-bit loser, but twice I said that my three year old kid placed the order - behind my back and without my knowledge (that's one really skilled three year old!), so that's why I had to cancel them. Of course, I was lying about this.

I think that they might have actually believed me, though.

Yours sincerely, John "Jack" Ryan P.S. - I am an inherently dishonest human being.

Hi, I'm Mr. Jonathan Prew of 50 Mack Hill Road, P.O.

Box 877, Amherst, NH 03031. Phones 603-440-**** / 603-673-****, jprew@***.com. I make up a lot of lies and risk getting sued for libel because I like to tell reputable companies how to run their businesses. I place orders that I can't afford, then cancel them when my credit card is declined.

Then complain six months later, insisting that they honor their price of half a year ago. And I whine, and I lie, and I complain, and insist on getting my own way. I literally try to return two one ounce pure silver bullion coins 18 months after I bought them because I am so hard up for cash, and insist upon my right to do so, even when silver has done down almost $8 per ounce in that time period (hmmm - real reason?). I am very familiar with the hissy fit (no quotation marks needed, it is an accepted term).

Let me place an order on your web site and I'll whine and complain and waste your time.

P.S.

- I am very, very lonely, and will try to tell you my life story when you answer my call. And if you don't listen, I'll threaten to sue you!
