I got my coin - from China


I was outbid on a coin and the seller emailed me saying he had another I could have outside of eBay at my bid.

So being adventerous I sent him a Paypal, and less than 2 weeks later my coin arrived just as described. image

I can now add China, along with Italy, the UK, Canada and Germany to my foreign purchases without problems. (However, I'm still a long way from sending a bank wire off to Romania as one seller requested).

I recommend the ebay seller wangzk and just bought 2 more coins off his auctions this weekend.

  • I try real hard not to buy from the ChiComs. I have followed that seller's auctions and was tempted to bid on a few items that just ended the other day. In the end, however, I refrained.

    I have had items come in from Australia, Hong Kong, Korea, France and Iceland also with no problems. I have also sent things to the UK, Italy and Japan with no problems!image
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Nice to hear that some purchases from distant places occur without problems. Remember that both honest and dishonest people exist everyhere. Harder to trace the dishonest ones in far away places. If the adventure of collecting distant purchases is the goal then have fun. Sight unseen coins may be part of the adventure.

    I just returned from China and there is more capitalism in Shanghai than in Paris.
    Quebec and North part of Los Angeles (see todays election) both want to be separate from the rest of the place.image
