Ontario Man Buys Rare 1 800 Coin At Online Auction And Never Receives It

When Cresent Chew saw a rare 1948 Canadian silver dollar at an online auction, he decided he had to have it. “The 1948 Canadian silver dollar is a great coin and when I saw it I decided to bid on it and was the winner of the online auction,” said Chew. Chew said that after he had the winning bid, he agreed to send the seller, Impulse Fine Art Auctions, $1,813. But now he waited four months and the 74-year-old coin still hasn’t appeared. “It’s really hard to figure these guys out. They had a fake phone number on their invoice and I’ve emailed them about 25 times and they won’t get back to me,” he said. Chew was concerned when the phone number on the invoice was 123-456-7890 and the Mimico address also on the invoice was a PO Box. Chew used the website HiBid, which is an online auction hosting platform, but the coin was purchased by Impulse Fine Art Auction. CTV News Toronto reached out to Impulse Fine Art Auction by phone and email, but our messages were not returned. CTV News Toronto also reached out to HiBid, and while the company did not return our messages, the company told Chew in an email that, “The Impulse Fine Art Auction is no longer on our platform. We recommend that you contact your local authorities and file a dispute with your bank. We apologize for any inconvenience and stress this may have caused you.” Chew had hoped he would get his coin or money back, but now says he’s not sure he’d use an online auction again. “It’s an expensive course, but what can I do?” The biggest company for online auctions is EBay, which has a good reputation for selling items and collectables, but no matter which site you use, you need to research the seller, check their feedback and reviews to try to make sure that you will receive your product.
