.... a good laugh (or at least a chuckle) now & again

this "mystery" lot is just about all the way up to the approximate slabbing fees!

    Dear BlueMoon,

    you must WEAR the glasses in order for them to work.

    are these kinds of whack-o auctions fraudulent in any way? or is it just caveat emptor?

    Where do you get a scanner that can scan these?

    This seller is wierd now. I don't know why he keeps posting jokes like this on ebay. I actually bought a few good coins from them when they first started selling on ebay. Back then, they were a normal seller with nice pictures and coins with no reserves starting at a buck.

    He says the lot does not have any State Quarters....

    Best part of the auction:

    This is an excellent opportunity for a long term investment. Play the numbers and don't worry too much about the specifics of collecting. Check out what your coins will be worth in five, ten, or twenty years. Of course past performance does not guarantee future results. However if you were to pay full retail for this item, you would probably break even at some point in the future.

    So go ahead and just "play the numbers"! I love it....image Hey, the bidding is up to $123. Not bad for something where the buyer has no idea of what he or she is getting in the end.

  • Looks like he is sleeping over the book. Look closely....his eyes are closed.

    I am gonna start a new eBay account called "Full Moon" that will be a parody of Blue Moon. It will have a picture of me reading a book that is upside down. I will auction stuff like "unsearched 1944 wheat cents" and "key date dateless buffalo nickels". Should be fun.

    I love the places he is a "numismatic author" for image

    Anyone else catch that? Heh.......easy rider, PH forum......LMAO image

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  • I love the places he is a "numismatic author" for

    Yeah, I like that one too. I don't recall reading any articles he wrote. Maybe he writes classified advertisements on the back 3 pages: "selling mystery lot of slabbed crap, worth $200,000, asking $1,000"

  • Wasn't there a forum rule instituted a few years ago about having to post a warning before putting a picture of that guy in your thread??
  • At least he uses a scripted entry, and the auctions are easy to spot/avoid. I salute that.

    No eBay listing is worthless; it can always be used as a horrible example.
