He has a feedback of 9, all from sales of cheapie Mint Sets. All of a sudden he's listing a bunch of coins like two high grade 1916 SLQs + more

    not a person i would buy from for big chaching items................run like the wind.
    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

    It does seem a "tad" unusual to jump from $2 items to multi-thousand dollar items so quickly......image

    If I were really interested I would email to ask for his/her name and number. If after talking to him you have some coin friends in common, check him out and if all is ok jump on board.
    Cool set...poor pics

    He is going to take the money and run. Made it kind of obvious.

    Wonder if the auction pictures are stolen??

    Agree. Not a sale for much more than $10.00...next you know, he has expensive key dates, with no real theme, out the wazoo. If he were legit, there would be much better ways to sell these on ebay or elsewhere.

    He might just be an old-timer type dealer who just started using Ebay. There's no way to know without talking to him and finding out who he's done bizz with before.

    On Dec 16, 04 He sold $5,160.27 worth of coins.
    He has left feedback for 2 high dollar buyers.
    Looks good so far, but I'd wait to see the feedback he gets for the high dollar coins.
