I fail to see the logic in this auction...

Okay...this cat wants us to believe these "unsearched" cents are worth 9X face because he took them to the bank and had them "sealed"? What gives??

  • I have a FoodSaver vacuum thingie in the kitchen. I'll sell you a sealed bag of 1,000 unsearched wheats for only $79.99 + shipping. And, not only are mine cheaper, they're vacuum sealed to protect the Lincs from oxidation.

    On the upside, "We offer 100% full refund if the bags are unopened or haven't been tampered with."

    So if someone tampered with your bag, you're out of luck? image

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  • Here's my favorite line:

    "Opening the bank-sealed bag will negate any refunds."

    In other words, if you open the bag and find nothing but 2005 pennies, you're SOL, because you opened the bag!
    If you haven't noticed, I'm single and miserable and I've got four albums of bitching about it that I would offer as proof.
