Matt Lerner, Chilli Peppers Collectibles, Beach Smells Coins, Lerner Enterprise Chili Peppers Collectibles sold me a 90% Silver Bag ($50 Face Value) of pre 1964 coins through GoAntiques.com. I never got a email confirmation and I never got the item. First I paid $585.93 through Paypal via the GoAntiques website after he jacked up the price about $30 after accepting my request to buy. Then Matt Lerner tried to get me to pay again through Google checkout. Middletown Maryland
I bought a 90% Silver Bag ($50 Face Value) of coins through GoAntiques.com from Chili Peppers Collectibles. I think this is run by Matt Lerner.
My PayPal account was deducted by $583.93. I received zero confirmation from the dealer that my order had begun processing.
My order hasn't arrived after a month.
I left messages via phone and email and got no response. I sent a message to the dealer through GoAntiques.com and "Matt" responded via email by saying I needed to pay through a convenient Google Checkout link even though I had already paid through Paypal.
There are shoddy websites up for this outfit and the voice mail to Matt says the inbox is full. I called one of the websites' listed numbers and left messages. I received zero response.

I'm not sure if this report caused Matt to contact me but he did the day after I filed this. He said there was a problem with the order system and that my item was on its way. I received the item with a bonus to make up for the ordeal. The item was professionally packaged and I am happy with it. I'm not quite sure what to make of this. Maybe this person is a small time seller who is starting out and hasn't gotten their system down pat yet.
