    Yeah, I'm curious what the inside scoop is on this scam:

    Nice BU Coins. Got a 1878-CC in DMPL

    3 cc dols all 20 bu great roll

    3 CCs in the roll, all other coins common dates

    Most came back 64-65. Nice selection of CC's.

    That does really not carry any weight anymore. A buyer can always return.

    I never accept returns with camera sales, but I’ve allowed several when the buyer had a legitimate complaint and reached out to me. I want them to be happy, I’m not selling to screw people, I just try to weed out the buy for the shoot coming up then return after use people.

    $320/coin might be a good deal on that one. It says that it can be returned as long as it hasn't been opened.

    If you wish to return your roll, it must be kept in its original, untampered with condition.

    PT Barnum didn't charge a lot for his circus; kept the masses happy with small costs of admission. Coin rolls with unknown contents are a set up for bad results. There are a lot of these unopened rolls on ebay. Positive feedback is easy to create, you just have to have some friends or alts..

    This gimmick has been around for quite awhile and will continue for generations to come. Don't delay theses are very unique and hard to come by, the reality is there are several dozen rolls available on Ebay 24/7. A fool and his money are soon parted.

    Listing is gone now.... link takes me to a 'similar' item....and that one has been 're-rolled'.... Just another scam - but seems to be profitable. Cheers, RickO

    1.) there are legitimate "roll" sellers on eBay that I have bought from but this is a little expensive.
    2.) I'm pretty sure that eBay allows returns despite what these listings say and tends to favor the buyer.
    3.) it is a Catch22 in the end for the seller.
    --- if a buyer opens a roll carefully and then just as carefully re-rolls it and returns it, once the seller accepts the package and opens it they have no defense. how can they claim the buyer was the one who opened it??

    I would think the auction is probably legitimate and that the odds tend to favor the seller in terms of returns. most of the coins are likely common date sliders with enough "break even potential" for a buyer that they'll be satisfied. I am too old and cynical to try these things but there are a lot of younger gamblers out there who will still buy Sealed GSA/Sealed from the Mint, etc. and be willing to accept a loss for the rush of opening the roll.

    good luck to the buyer!! :)

    Reminds me a little of a guy who had a rock with a gold vein in it, he said if I cracked the quartz probably there was a lot more gold under the surface. Many questions would arise with supposedly genuine rolls, like why is the date 1895 on the front and a cc on the back? Statistics weigh heavily against any reliability or profit potential to the seller's products.
