Would this be considered illegal?

From ebay item 3943562992.

Even if it's a joke,it should be against someones policies.

Should be... I informed the gods

That looks VERY illegal to me.

Lee,I've been following most of the posts about this guy,but I thought he might be crossing smoeones line with this one.

Here's a link to the auction with that pic.(for the lazy ones).

LeeG

Your definately right on this one. He's crossed many lines from what I've seen. Folks are bidding "Big Money" for his items though? Lee

wjd283

All I can figure is he must have a boatload of shills,or there are more dummies on ebay than I ever imagined.







edit for spelling.

I still can't believe it's not against ebay rules to demand positive feedback before a refund is sent.

PCGS and NGC need to put a stop to this screwball.
I think a letter from their lawyers to Ebay would do the trick.

I think somebody has more money that brains. Eight out of hundred feedback are negitive and still they bid in his auctions.

I like this quote:
<<Can you spell ignorant without an IQ?>>
Yes, as a matter of fact you can. There is no "Q" in ignorant. Furthermore, you can spell things without an IQ. You just spell them wrong. Dan Quayle is living proof of that....

This seller appears to be doing nuttier and nuttier things, and is basically daring Ebay to shut him down. Between this and the altered SLQ I would think that would do it. Definitely not playing with a full deck!!

Why the repeated references to medical degrees, Harvard, etc as though it's relevant. Likely as bogus as everything else. I don't go on about my profession (amateur gynecologist), why should they?

Standard procedure at big companies is to file a 1 million dollar trademark infringement lawsuit against the individual in order to set an example. It deters others.

I noticed feedback is only 98 yet a few hundred transactions. A lot of repeat buyers with comments like "coin is in PCGS slab" when the auction was for a raw coin, or "Coin is Okay" and other BS. They've got to be false buyers to boost feedback. Even with them, this nutjob has lousy feedback overall (we wonder why?). Please ebay... ban this chump.

I'm expecting to see a NARU soon.

He's got a horrid looking 1879CC Morgan and it's currently at US $1,126.55! Not cool!

I sent another note to ebay. Maybe if enough of us post complaints we can get this seller dealt with for violating ebay rules and trademark law.

Waiting for a call back from the Long Beach PD computer crimes division.

You have no idea how many people i have talked to in this Morons family !

Notice how similar his toning stories are.

DESERT TONED
The dealer found coins that were wrapped in tissue paper. The top portion of the big plastic bag was partly melted and it exposed the coins to the elements. The tissue papers that covered the coins on the upper most portion of the bag were extremely dark in color. This was attributed to the desert heat for no one knew how long the coins were in that roof. Most of the coins in the top part of the bag that were heavily corroded and less than half of the bag escaped encrustations.

The Pinatubo Toned Coins
The heat was such that the safe which is suppose to be fire proof partially melted and more than half of the coins were fused together like a huge silver coin nugget.

His excuse for his over grading.

This auction is for a Toned 1928 P Peace Dollar with an estimated grade of MS60. However, we have to warn you our coins are graded by a person whose eye sight is failing; therefore, it would be prudent for you to check the pictures that were provided in order for you to judge the grade of this coin.

graded by a person whose eye sight is failing

So that explains why they can't tell that the two 23 SLQ's aren't really 23's.

I sent three noticed to ebay one was about three days ago, but he's still there. I don't really believe ebay is too concerned about this guy. More fuel for the fire. I think ebay will one day be the defendant in the biggest class action suit ever.

I believe it was Lord M who discovered that "Mt. Pinatubo" is a volcano in the Phillipines. All he had to do was lower the coins into the crater....

pharmer

When the Pinatubo listings started, I assumed most knew about the eruption, since the story has aired many times on public tv, a NOVA special I think. Big deal because it was predicted by volcanoligists, US and Philipino alike, and thus well documented visually. Even bigger deal when it erupted, extremely huge event, and primarily pyroclastic, in that superheated gases flowed like flood waters down the mountainside, rather than throwing up plumes of lava. Film crews caught this, as well as groups of scientists going up the slopes before the eruption, and then the pyroclastic flows shortly thereafter, killing many where they stood because the flows were hundreds of miles an hour. So this guy's story sounded fishy from the start, hot enough to vaporize a person, but melt a safe? Even if it had, all the coins would have melted as well, not become precious, pretty eye-candy for the masses.

The 1835 half dime is is selling he said was found by one of his clients inside a 10 foot long salmon that he was cleaning. He said the fish was caught a year ago....Must have been a mighty old fish....

It's pretty obvious to me that this Morgan has been vibratory tumbled in a polishing type media.

Why is it not so obvious to people who look at it and place "stupid money" bids ??????
