    Let's see how many bad auction attributes, incorrect facts, and just dumb stuff one can list for this auction:

    1. "Ultra-rare". No.

    2. "High grade". No.

    3. Gouging on shipping. $3.95 to ship a coin by first class mail is ludicrous.

    4. PERPETUALLY SHOUTING VIA THE USE OF ALL CAPS. MUST BE SOMETHING REAL IMPORTANT HE HAS TO SAY.

    5. No payment methods with any recourse. This is a personal preference, but no PayPal or Visa/MC merchant account, you don't get my bid (not that this one would anyway)

    6. 10 years expertise... at what, flea markets?

    7. "...interesting investment and collecting opportunities every week!" If this is an example, I'll pass.

    8. "We let the picture do most of the talking." Apparently not. See #4 above... and what that picture is saying isn't fit for polite company.

    Looking at their other offerings, it literally is flea market fare. Low-grade common merchandise hawked as "high grade".

    And if I won the auction I would have to pay an additional 8.35% for sales tax. The Canadian Trends for the coin is about $3. inGood.

    That looks only somewhat worse than the NGC slabbed bit that was on another current thread.
