Estate Doctor sells "Cheerios" Sackie

SFDukie

Which likely isn't. Nothing I see in the sale to indicate it's a cheerio's sackie, save for ED's saying so. Since he lists it as "gold plated clad" I doubt he know what a cheerios varity is or diagnostics. His usual private auction, so no way to alert the buyer. No reverse phot given, unslabbed. For those unfamiliar with him, he bought out some of the savannah scammers inventory when she was Naru'd, and likely had her help in setting up on the bay.

I think that one has been up before...

Those bidders are a bunch of idiots (or a few idiots moved along by a couple of Scamela's shills). One good way to stop scams is for an informed public to stop bidding on them, especially a blatantly obvious one like this!! However, it does not look like that is going to happen anytime soon.

While I detest Scamela and the fact that Ebay cannot shut this scumbag down despite a trail of huge breadcrumbs, my sympathy for the victims bidding on this scam is very limited.

It is auctions like this that keep the scammers encouraged, and stupid bidders like the ones in this auction just fan the flames!!

I feel 51% disgust for this guy, 49% admiration mixed with envy. He sold a coin worth $1.00 for over $500! The only other auction this over-the-top was the $1000.00 Sacagawea glued to a state quarter.

Thanks for reminding me to never buy a coin from you.

Are coin collecting/selling and ethics mutually exclusive? I hope not...Mike

I had reported that listing to Eaby and not surprisingly, they did nothing.

I am not quite sure of what these people bidding on that coin are expecting? All I see is a friggin dollar i can go to the bank and grab and then take it to a car shop and gold plate it for 5 bucks?
What did they think it was? im lost?

What is cheerios?

I think I mentioned before that this seller sold an altered 1937-D 3 legged buffalo nickel a few weeks back for over $900. I informed ebay that it was an altered coin with, of course, no action taken on their part. This seller also has SOME connection with another ebayer that goes by the name of darkris02 out in Washington State that sold an identically altered '37-D a few months ago for over $500. Of course, these "bidiots" should take a little time to learn how to tell an altered 3 leg from a geniuine-it's not all that tough to do if you put a little time and effort into it. BTW-these two coins were OBVIOUS altererations-very easy to spot even with minimal effort and knowledge.

Don't worry, I never rip people off with my current account, kiyote2j19, my "legit" account. All of my other accounts got NARUed.

this guy doesnt even show the reverse ..theres no way to tell what that coin really is, whether Cheerios version or regular strike..

I know, I was thinking about that-- by doing that, he didn't "mislead" anyone with a picture of an actual Cheerios dollar reverse. In fact, the word "Cheerios" at all was just used for keyword spamming, it didn't appear in the product desc anywhere. 30 day return policy to appear even more legitimate. He's no wannabe dealer-- I can't think of any other coins out there that net that kinda return.

I would look at this auction less like a con and more like art/novelty, kind of like the Virgin Mary toast and Brittney Spear's drinking water.

Still not as bad as they fake mule with the D mintmark. This sold for over a grand! Link
