Warning! Not for you dialuppers. HUNDREDS of pictures. Top bid of $21,000 from a bidder with zero feedback. Think this seller should be worried?

    Looks like the owner did a lot of buying out of the Sunday paper and off the TV.

    Top bidder is now a guy who feedback comes from buying an $843 guitar and an ugly $175 painting!

    I wonder what Lucy thinks of those 1950/51 so-called proof Franklins. I'll bet there are uglier ones somewhere, but they would be awful tough to find!

    OK - I know I am relatively new to this, but I sense a bit of sour grapes in the air. This is obviously a extensive collection of good coins. Of course you can't tell the quality of all of the coins from the pictures and I know that these modern coins don't seem to be in favor but if I was the seller I would worry about that buyer rather then the worth of the collection.

    OK, thump me.

    Indeed! And, it looks like your auction did quite well.

    he is a superb marketer of his wares. about $8000 worth of easily bought wholesale stuff there, what any mid-level knowledged collector could go to any major show and duplicate for $11-13k quite easily. seen him bury many of newbs who happen to have a little extra fat cash in the bank and the "excitement of the moment" with those giganto "estate jobs". heh, he gets around over here too buying up junk and glorp assembling it in this fashion for these eyes of the ebay newbies only who have a clue not

    Sorry, but I don't see anywhere near 22K worth of coins there.

    Is there 10K worth of watches in that lot?
