Regards

Proud to have fought for America, and to be an AMERICAN!
The guy selling the 1851 quarter cancelled the bid from pop1eye(126) because he is a bad bidder? Mark, how embarrasing to have a scammer call you a scammer
Yikes - I don't think I would spend 12K on an eBay auction - what safety protocols are covered so you don't get scammed?

I bet he's a happy immigrant, being "down under" and all

The seller of the 1856 Proof Flying Eagle cent cancelled my bid too. So, I sent him a message, asking him to explain the fact that the item he had on Ebay was listed for sale, elsewhere by someone else. I mentioned that if I didn't receive a good explanation I'd have to contact the authorities. I didn't hear back from him but shortly afterwards, the sale was ended. Hmmm.
Mark, I admire your spirit, but I wouldn't count on eBay to remove anything unless they can make a buck doing it. (Wait! I can see it now: New EBay Service! Negs removed for $1 apiece!) Anyway, it's so easy to create multiple accounts, that there's no need to jeopardize your own excellent feedback over some scumbag scam artist. Just create a new ID. It only takes about 5 minutes and you can snipe & neg away!
It must have been something with my computer settings. Of course, now I only see the text and not the coin, but I imagine that some of you can see the text superimposed on top of the coin, right?
No, what happend is the user used a linked picture instead copying the picture and hosting it himself. Then the person who actually hosted the picture, changed it to a picture of text, keeping the file name the same. The seller could do nothing about it since it was a link and not his own file. He could not delete it either.

Closed sale
What can I say, other than that I'm BAD?! Never mind that my Ebay rating of 126 includes no neutrals or negatives - that's beside the point.
Otherwise, it is disconcerting to see so many obviously stolen images on ebay from people who no doubt are out to scam major dollars.
