What would you do in this situation?

There's currently a new listing on ebay for a 1906-S Philippine peso, this coin is scarce and often quite expensive when found. The problem is that although the seller has 100% feedback from 97 people, all of the items were for literally pennies. When you take that along with the fact that he has had three ID changes in a few years it makes me think that he has been setting all this up for the big score.
His ID's: antique_russe / russian_artifact888 / russian_sexy888 has anybody ever dealt with this guy?

    Just his ID history and the so-called prior "sales" being such cheap deals, I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him ... left handed. image

    If you send him money you deserve to be ripped off.

    Being a Russian myself, a comment like this makes me want to say .....



























    I completely agree with Cacheman.

    He's not in Russia. He's here in the Philippines. I think he's tried to sell this dog before. Usually drives up the price with shill bidders. I would suggest staying away.

    If it's not slabbed by one of the big 3, don't even think of buying a 1906-S peso.

    Thank you all for the responses, I was thinking the same thing, just wanted someone to agree with me. You know how it is when you find that one coin that you've been searching for.

    And the shilling begins. Just for fun, watch these two ID's: mags_baby & charlie_robles2004. They've never bought anything of value, yet now, all of the sudden, they want a $1,000+ coin. Both local of course. Don't know how to report to ebay or I would. Seller has tried to dump the same coin before. Of course, nobody here will pay any money for it. President of the Numismatic Association warmed me about this guy a few years ago.

    Because it is very easy to take the payment and "disappear" if you're in Russia.
