Anybody see anything wrong with this?

Would this constitute fraud, stupidity, or both?


Happy Laughing!

    BTW... did anybody else notice the fact that this seller has been a member since 2003, but never actually bought or sold anything before... I think I smell a fraud... really.

    Edited to say... interesting what words are bold in this ad...

    Come oh come all ye suckers... this seller (ghost) needs 10K quick!

    Heck, you guys are lightweights. image

    I offered him one of those fraudulent rolls for only $100.00

    Told him he could retire from the profits and that he should probably hang on to at least 10 of them for inverstment.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    There was a guy offering to sell a 2004 cent with no mint mark a while back.
    He claimed it was a rare error. I think somebody took it for $2.50.

    I received a response today to a question/comment I made to the seller. Check it out.

    You asked:
    "I have 10 I'll sell you for $1,000 each. Seriously, they aren't rare. You can get them at any bank for face value and yes, by the roll."

    You are welcome. My studies INCLUDE the recuperation of as many of these responses as possible. How does it feel to be a guinny pig or lab rat?

    If you check his feedback, he purchased two of these for 1.00.

    Typical researcher. Can't spell and doesn't even know the meaning of the words he's using.

    Bikingnut,
    <<I just offered to sell him ten for the low price of $1,000 each.>>

    I did that once to a scammer and he reported me to eBay for trying to
    "go around" eBay to sell him something directly!image

    why are you guys trying to sell him one?

    check out his feedback - he found a source - probably does not have it yet - the reason for no picture



    I tried spending one as a statehood quarter - the teller told me it was only a nickel

    Well folks... funny what he says... check out this answer:

    "I obtained it through an 'insider' channel which I will not even ATTEMPT to explain, directly from the denver mint."

    Anybody got friends in the Secret Service?

    I'm starting to think his medication ran out.
