I am thinking about buying these coins but would like an opinion of the prices that they are being offered at.
Brazil
KM 526 : Silver 2000 Reis 1924 BU ($6)

Colombia
KM 275A : Centavo 1952 UNC ($1.25)

France
KM 754 : 1 Centime 1849A UNC ($11)
KM 843 : 10 Centimes 1908 UNC ($10)

Great Britain
KM 753 : Farthing 1881 3 Berries UNC ($12.50)

India(British)

KM 753 : Farthing 1881 3 Berries UNC ($12.50)

If it really is UNC, that is a great price for any date of Victorian farthing. Current price for the 3-berry 1881 in "basic UNC" runs around £29 ($52). EF catalogues at £12 ($22), but that's probably on the high side, since that date is common even in high grade.

If the farthing isn't coming from one of the big dealers (NEN, Berk, Stephens, etc), I would be suspicious that it was UNC. Victorian bun farthings are frequently overgraded.

The seller said that he offers a full refund for any coin that is not as advertised. He said that he has sold over 1000 coins worldwide and that he has not had a single coin returned so I think I might take a chance.

I'd take a chance at $12.50 as well. I just suggest not having too high an expectation. Even if it's EF, you come out OK.

$6 is a good price for the Brazilian 2000 reis if it's a true, uncleaned BU coin. They don't often come like that -- most of the ones I see offered aren't really uncirculated.

He just sent me an email telling me that he has these coins available:
Brazil
KM 526 : Silver 2000 Reis 1924 BU ($6)    

France
KM 754 : 1 Centime 1849A UNC ($11)   
KM 843 : 10 Centimes 1908 UNC ($10)   

Italy
KM 89 : 5 Lire 1950 BU ($5)

The total for all four would be 35.30 including shipping and insurance.

If it's a nice AU that's a decent price, let alone UNC.
