If this is a genuine coin, I have a hard time believing that the high bid of $560 would meet the reserve...

I spent several minutes comparing the photo to a genuine one. If nothing else, it gave me an excuse to look at mine. A couple things look different, but a lot also looks the same. Hard to say from a photograph.

I think it can be genuine. A genuine copy of a photo from somewhere else, that is.

Either the person selling the coin is a cheat, or they are inexperienced. The reserve does seem low, but on two different occasions i spoke with people selling 55 DD' and they both did so without a reserve because they felt the coin was so rare that they were going to get a fair price. There are tons of auctions on EBAY that throw in the titles of grading companies to get extra attention, but i was pretty sure that the EBAY policy on that was a no-no unless the coins are truly graded by said company. The feedback rating on the seller is 75% and their ranking is what, 2, 3? Certainly doesnt invite confidence.

That's it!!!!

Usually people scamming like this don't even bother setting a reserve. It costs more in eBay fees, and if you're selling vapor, why bother?

He lists his name, address and phone number in the auction. You should give him a call now that the reserve has been met

I just sent an email to him with the link to coinfacts and asked him how he was selling That coin.


googled the phone number....comes back to a female with a completely different address. San Ysidro, CA 92173

What makes you think the guy is using his own bank account or credit card?

Great high bidder!

Not high enough apparently. Amazing.

He says he doesn’t know how to get a coin graded but know exactly what it would grade?

The high bidder now has a feedback score of zero, has been on ebay since 2003. I gotta start cutting coin pics from sites...................



Also, have a look at the user name of the bid retraction at the bottom of the bid page!!

Who do you think will get NARU'D first; slimesmasher, this-auction-iza-scam or sellingbestgifts?

goose3

the idiot actually wrote me backwhen I asked how he could sell the coin listed on coinfacts and provided him the link.....and says....I'll get you a pic of the reverse later today!

LOL


I'm going to email him the coinfact page and tell him "Don't bother"

eBay sure removed that parrot auction a few weeks ago. They can act fast when they want to.

clw54

The auction is still active and over 6K now.

Ebay really cares, oh so much to stop these??? You guys must really be bored to even ASK THE GUY A QUESTION, OR EVEN BOTHER REPORTING TO e-BAY. And yes, in case you're wondering -I am bored because I am adding to this thread. Trying to fall asleep. BUT GO GET "EM GUYS!!!! MAKE ALL THE SCAMMERS STOP!!!!

Its fun to mess with these guys

It's worth trying to stop one when we run across it.

Auction over.

Amazing. It's okay to swipe a photo from another site and claim it came out of a cookie jar.
