This guy who was high bidder on one of my auctions for a 1958 ICG MS68 Roosevelt dime for $26
sent me this e-mail......I think I busted a gut l was laughing so hard.


> Nick,
> Have you mailed my 58 dime yet?? It has been 20 minutes already!!!! What's
the holdup???? My check is in the mail.... Please include a PCGS 68 coin (at
your expense) in case I don't think this coin makes the grade...will make a
return to you easier...also, don't want to have to give you negative ebay
feedback, so include $500 as a bribe!!! While you are at it, send me a case
of wine...not the CHEAP stuff either....and fly here and wash my
car....GREETINGS FROM ANOTHER HAPPY EBAY BUYER!!!

    Instead of having a guess the coin thread. Lets have a guess the joker thread.... Hint, He's a forum member.
  • You know its a joke, right? It sounds like someone you know!
    You can fool man but you can't fool God! He knows why you do what you do!
  • Um, perhaps "itsnotjustme" ??? imageimage

    He wasn't trying to bribe you. He wanted you to send him $500 to keep him from giving you a neg.

    Well, have you mailed his coin yet?image

    Tell him you are happy to meet his demands...but the case of wine will have to be FRENCH!

    Do not fall into the error of the artisan
    who boasts of twenty years experience in his craft
    while in fact he has had only one year of experience...
    twenty times.
