Polish copies - idiot seller

He admits they're fake, and asks for a BIN of $875.

Idiot.

I emailed him and offered $20 for the lot. (Very politely I might add.) Best offer he's going to get unless someone doesn't read the auction text.

Idiot.

    "Study pieces." What a crock. Most of them are really bad fakes.

    These pieces would be worth many thousands of dollars if genuine, but I was told they are fakes, and as such I am selling them. It was hard for me to believe, so many different pieces, looking so much as the real ones, could be all copies; but as indicated by one collector I have consulted, indeed they are. Regardless of the fact, I have got nevertheless an interesting offer for the whole group , I have decided instead to list it here in ebay.

    And he has a BIN of $875. The only reason I resusitated this thread was because of laurentyvan's earlier post about eBay tactics. This chump has relisted the auction several times now, and the bidding has no doubt never come close to his reserve.

    John, this has nothing to do with the fakes on eBay.

    It's about your sig lines; I just can't get enough of them ! Keep them coming. image

    The sellers reserve probably represents what the seller is into the coins for.

    He didn't put the BIN on it when he relisted.

    Very Rare Poland Thaler Collection

    (My intent is not to deceive,
    but I plant a hopeful kernel of doubt
    for the dummy who wants to believe
    that this time he won't crap out.

    I paid way too much for these Thalers;
    my counterfeit losses I'm trying to cut-
    If I have to I'll sell them to sailors
    so drunk they're out on their butt).

    dead drunk and satiated by rut).
    One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics
    is that you end up being governed by inferiors. – Plato

    Buying known fakes can be good for educational purposes, but this sailor won't be that drunk...
