    Nobody's said it out loud.....But from the text, is anyone ABSOLUTELY sure if this is for 10 one-ounce coins, or 10 tenth-ounce coins (equaling one ounce)??

    Maybe I'm trying too hard to find fault. image

    I suspect it's intended to get a list of potenial buyers through the pre-qulaification process.

    "YOU ARE BIDDING ON A SET OF TEN 1 OUNCE AMERICAN EAGLE GOLD COINS."

    Sound like 10 ounces of gold to me. He also states that they are $50 legal tender coins.

    The seller has been with ebay since '99, and has a 321 feedback with 99.4% positive.

    The only thing odd is the preapproval, and a buy it now for $2,800 when it should be $4,000+???

    Hmmm...

    Sounds like a scam to build a mailing list...... I bet hundreds of greedy ebayers have emailed him, no-one has gotten approved to BIN he mythical gold........ and somehow they'll get screwed....... don't know how.......... just my gut
