hands down worst ebay photos ever

the worst photos ever inserted in an ebay auction


i guess it's possible that he emailed better photos to anyone who cares to bid, but pulleeze, it's not that hard to upload a photo.


he's probably another one of these guys with a "best known" who just doesn't have the patience or the money to spend on a slab.


yup, i reckon it's just christmas and i didn't notice.

    That is awful. He might as well post a big photo of his pimply ass, as neither his ass or the current coin scan would do any good in discerning the coin's grade!!image

  • what ya complaining about you can supersize to get a better look.
  • The teapot photo is still the worst IMO. These rank near the top though.

    i'm a bit embarrassed to say i'm from the same state as this seller!!!!image it's kinda hard to get a fix on what someone could be thinking to post scans like that. one thing that comes to mind is rip-off. even harder to figure why anyone would bid!!

  • As a certified ACG grader, I think you're all wet!! Even from here, I can slab these as MS 67 and if the pics were in focus, I think PR69DCAm is a real possibility. I think you all are way too picky....

    Oh geez.......I did not know I did not have my glasses on when first looking at the pics which I saw before seeing this thread.

    I kept fumbling for my glasses when I finally realized it was not me. image

    But the other pics were a real riot.

    How about the one from awhile back that looked like the photo was taken from an airplane about 500 ft. up in the air. That one was pretty bad. Looked like a small button. image

  • His coin is a lovely "russet" color....what is it, a potato? Could be, judging by the photo.
    If you ebay it, they will bid. I saw an auction once for tumbleweeds, believe it or not.

  • its just all that rustic mint luster,its so shinney even my osco(walgreens) i time use camera cant focus in properly,but here is the kicker>>>>it will say if the coin shows up to your door and it doesnt look better than images shown in auction you get a 10 day no questions asked refund,less 20% restocking fee,and sorry no return on postage image so in reality he will earn about 38 to 45$ each auction return and will only have to have 1 coin in inventoryimage he bought the GET RICH QUICK! on the internet software and looks like it might be working for him as it promises.
