    Hate to burst your bubble. I think the seller typed in the wrong BIN price. Sale most likely will be blocked.......

    I don't know, someone at the company just stepped in it, but they may honor it and send the coin. Let us know how this turns out.

  • Those shipping costs are ridiculous for a $1.00 coin. I guess you knew if up front, so no reason to argue. image
  • If they dont sell you the coin for that, neg them!image

  • A deal is a deal. A neg would be appropriate for not following through on a transaction.
  • I don't know if it's fair to neg them, but the deal should go through. Would the seller accept the excuse that someone accidentally bid too much for their coin? It should work the same way for both buyers and sellers. Whatever you put as the BIN, even if it's incredibly stupid, should stand. You have to assume that everyone using Ebay is an adult.

    I know it sucks, but why should the rules be different for sellers?

    What happened to ethics and honest mistakes? If you had done the same thing on accident would you honor the sale on the same coin? I think not! And if you say you would, I highly doubt that!
  • HyperionHyperion Posts: 7,440 ✭✭✭
    on one hand, if I type in 1000 instead of 100, id want someone to be nice to me,
    on the other hand, it was more than just a keystroke to get that price up there...
    on the third hand image just for a good story, they should give you the coin for a buck and use you in a print advertisement image
  • Looks to me they made a huge profit on the shipping and handling in anticipation to offset the low price of the coin. image

    If I only had a dollar for every VAM I have...err...nevermind...I do!! image

    If it were one coin that had a miskeyed amount your thought would make sense. So far I've counted about 30 that have been listed as such, not to mention the ones that have already disappeared due to people buying them. I agree with your theory, but I have to say there are a LOT of coins going up at that price, along with other prices. I'm sure they wont follow through on them, but if they do oh well.

    They might use turbo lister and you can pre fill the price so all you would need to do it put $1.00 once and it would happen that easy. Its a mistake and everybody who buys any of these coins at a dollar is just a low rat and a thief if you ask me.

    Well, I figured I'd be a good samaritan, and buy up all the $1 Buy It Nows, and then let Superior off the hook (To get them off EBay), but it looks like someone beat me to it. I don't see anymore up there.

    Precisely why I noted OTHER PRICES being placed in there as well. At this point, the other prices are showing all before or after b/c of the number of coins that are gone, but they had coins for $10 and $20 being placed in between the others. I guess you missed the part of me agreeing with you, unless you just wanted someone to try and argue with and I was the only one that acknowledged your statement.
  • All joking aside, there were at least 55 coins listed with that mistake. Superior has a real mess on their hands. Certainly some of the buyers are not going to let them just brush it aside and will neg them.

    You guys are just too quick.

    I finally found one available but when I hit the BIN, one of you was a split second in front.

    I wouldn't have expected them to follow through, but I would have expected some sort of compensation such as a certain % off on another coin later.

    I don't think they are going to get away with just an oops on this one.

    It's a binding legal contract for me when I go to eBay and do business, why would or should it be any different for them?
    "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."

    Have yourself a drink and lighten up. It's hilarious.... amusing.... and just plain funny to see someone like Superior do that kind of fubar.
  • Flashbang,
    I am not argueing with you at all. I had my chance to bid on a good many of the coins but I did not(Ethics on my part). I did miss the part where others with that price had been entered, but the pre filled idea I had could still come into play and coins added along with these, uploaded and on thier way. They may have even noticed and though they were all corrected. Fact in point to bid would be wrong and I am glad you agree with me.

    Sure it might all be in fun and games for some of us, but there are those people who will drag this out and make it hell for the seller. Size does not matter if any coin dealer made that mistake they should be granted a free pass sorta speak. Not nailed to the wall like Jesus and left to die.

    They've already refunded my money with no explanation. the worst part is, I can't even get at it yet because it will sit in-transit between banks for a few days! I would have appreciated a brief note from them explaining what happened. Or at least given me the opportunity to let them know why I bid on it, I don't want them to think I'm trying to rip them off.

    Yep....I "bought" one to get it off the list so that they would have one less possible pain in the a$$ to worry about.
    Did I expect to get it? Nope.

    Least they could do would be leave me positive feedback image
