Send her a nice note, let her know that they are overpriced, invite her here to learn?

This person is brilliant , so long as they find a stoooopid buyer.

Stranger things have happened.
With a name like tiffybunny, this transaction could lead to a wedding for some dumb desparate guy.

I agree, $3000 for $80 worth of coins does seem a bit high.

Ok, so, maybe I am missing something.
Where do you see only 8 coins?

I see 23. 7 different dates.
Now, I agree that $3000 is WAY too much. Seller also marked as "proofs" so I really don't think they know what they are doing.

But, it is more than $80 worth of coins and more than 8 coins. I mean, if you are going to make fun of someone, at least get the facts straight

(look at all 3 pics. The coins are not all the same...you can tell by the color/spotting. Also, one of the pages has a missing coin)

Bochiman is correct: 23 coins. One has heavy pvc damage.

Still too high, but I don't think that the seller is stupid or fishing for a sucker. My guess is that the seller inherited the coins and, having absolutely no knowledge of coins, is afraid to sell them too cheap. A local coin dealer probably offered her $250 and she thought that he was ripping her off. Maybe an uncle or someone told her that they were rare? I think that she will keep relisting the coins with a lower price until they sell.

Also.....wouldn't it be nice to know the mint marks of the Morgans?
