Coin Collector Group FB Rules
These rules have been written as a guideline for groups which specialise in Coin Collecting.
The 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.
The rules may vary subject to group owner requirements.
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 groups operate on a first come first serve basis at the discretion of the person selling the item.
You should check that the group owners have not made specific requisites for their groups before posting.
People who Hijack sales by IM, Queue jumpers and timewasters should be reported to admin.

Most sellers ask for PayPal friends and family.
It is free to use so no costs are incurred but it does not offer the buyer any security.
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 take a commission from the seller if you use this alternative.
It is therefore commonly agreed that the buyer pays the extra fee to cover Signed For Post for tracking purposes.
There will also be an extra commission charge payable to PayPal.
You can work out how much you would need to pay on this Cost Calculation Website
We strongly advise that you do not conduct trades in private.
The transparency provided by trading on the group wall only will help avoid the bad people who 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.
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/
20) Please do not comment on a Sale post unless you are interested in buying the item.
21) Make your initial comment on the chosen post, that way everyone can see who commented and in what order they did so.
22) If you tag a person’s name in your 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.
24) Item for-sale posts will be removed after 1 month if they have not received comments.
