What do ya think of these prices?

Am I missing something here?? Seeing ridiculous prices on eBay is a common occurrence, but this guy does it on a wide scale. Go through 3-5 pages and it gets progressively worse.

    Just ignore such sellers if you think the asking prices are too high.

    I ignore them just move on if too high. Maybe it’s like free lottery tickets / buckshot effect for them if somebody buys their stuff lol. Don’t have time worry about that. Have my own biz online and shows to operate.

    I generally search stuff w auc sniper or eBay bin deals which eliminates seeing their overblown stuff.

    If they are selling at these prices, it's probably money laundering. Online auction sites with outrageously priced goods are used to clean illegal money.

    I think they're trolling for suckers. There are some nice coins on eBay that are realistically priced but you really have to look hard to find them.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    Listing items at prices so high that they're highly unlikely to sell doesn't sound like a very good way to launder money.

    It was something that I just wanted to point out. I’ve noticed ridiculous prices for “supposed” error coins and varieties but common date silver with outrageous prices is something I haven’t seen very much of.

    I like the uber common used and cleaned Morgan at $349.65...and that's a 55% savings over the regular $797 price. LMAO.
    You also might want to jump on that sweet '87 Canadian proof set at $597. :D
    Looking at his feedback record he has been using shills to "buy" stuff to pad his numbers.
    The sad part is that he wouldn't still be wasting time with this if it didn't pay off occasionally...
