    The scammer is using Barry's coin image and is based in London. Barry is right here in the United States, The seller pockets the money and gives the buyer , the finger and runs. The buyer does not get the VIRTUAL coin.

    This one is almost as dumb as the robber who goes into the bank and writes a holdup note on the back of his own deposit slips.

    Thanks folks, I have no idea who Barry is and to be honest after reading this forum for a year now I have no desire to ever purchase anything from E-Bay. I think I would rather walk through South Central L.A. at 1:00 am with a roll of hundred dollar bills in my hand than buy from the bay. Unless of course it was a reasonable BIN from someone here I have met and trust.

    Probably good advice for the faint of heart and for newbies, but really, if you know your stuff and you know how to spot scams, you can see the warning signs and stay away almost every time -- especially for big-money purchases.

    Still, the more of you there are who stay away completely, the fewer competitors I have for the coins I want from the sellers who appear trustworthy. So get out of here! image

    Rat,

    Good rule of thumb.

    If you see what you think is a condition rarity on EBAY (you know what im saying) and the open bid is cheap.

    RUN LIKE HELL !

    Still plenty of nice coins in holders for good prices,though a lot of them are culls that dont quite fit some collections,but are perfect for many collectors.

    I just sold a bunch of very nice culls.

    I asked the seller a question about the coin and he Im'd me (I am on AOL) He started cussing and called me a biotch...image

    What a loser

    Some poor SOB bid on it!
  • majorbigtimemajorbigtime Posts: 2,937 ✭
    Niotice the address of the purported seller (London)??

    Dollars to doughnuts, the seller will ask for a Western Union money order--a typical scam!

    Yeah... check out what east-jewellery on e-bay is selling. If those older coins are real I will eat my shorts. And that would kill the strongest man.

    It is not hard AT ALL to find fraud coins. Gotta love private auctions and low feedback.

    Why do they keep doing things like this?

    Slider,
    Scumnuker wears a Felt cape.

    He only bids on total BS auctions and the sellers would not dare to NEG the caped crusader lest they risk the wrath of the long arm of the law and incarceration !

    I sent him an email

    That's the famous Barry Stuppler coin that was stolen a couple of months ago and there is a $50,000 reward for it's return. Nice find - you're going to get a lot of bids for that one!

    Whatever color it is, I'll bet its artificially toned. image

    OMG, the bidding is going up. $7600 now with scumnuker still ahead. How high will it go??? $10K, $20K?? Will someone snipe in a bid at the last second and knock scumnuker out?

    I sent Barry Stuppler an email about the listing using his photo. Let's see how long before the listing gets pulled and the fraudster gets NARUd.

    I emailed the seller letting him know that the cybercrime division of the FBI is coordinating with Scotland Yard to investigate him.
  • rottnrogrottnrog Posts: 683 ✭✭✭


    I emailed seller and ask him when he bought the coin from Barry!!

    You know the party's over (for the scammer) when scumnuker and pop1eye get into a bidding war. image
  • slideridersliderider Posts: 1,834
    Nah, I wouldn't call that a bidding war. Scumnuker entered a multi million dollar bid and pop1eye is shilling him. image

    I got a reply from Barry Stuppler and he has already reported the scammer to ebay.

    Done.

    Good job.

    eBay nuked the auction but has not yet NARU'd the seller.

    I guess they don't have enough "evidence" that he's a crook.
