If I were that seller, I wouldn't be telling people that I also owned tuesdaynightcoins. In the end, the buyer will probably end up with a bunch of ANI stuff.
Anyone that's thinking IMO thinks this is an attempt at a scam. However, since the lot closed at $202.50 plus $19.95 shipping, the seller might have to do a lot of work to make a profit. Note: $202.50 is 0.27% of $75,000 (not 27%, 0.27%). Gives everyone an idea what the third world slabs are really worth compared with the price guides!

Quote from actual ad...put together "AFTER PAID"...so I guess the coins are commensurate with what the final bid price is and not before?
So in essence this is a crap shoot at best?

But, the listing says:
What the package will contain! 25+ coins with a total of over 75000.00.
Also says guaranteed $75,000. To me, that means the lot is worth over $75,000. I understand what you are saying with the "after paid" reference, but with the other verbiage guaranteeing the lot at $75,000 he really seems to be scamming people with that alone.
And still another bargain priced lot of coins on ebay-wish i would have saw it before it ended. I would only have to buy 14 lots like this to become a millionaire! I missed this one but i won't miss the next one--i will set my snipe bid up right now.

Yeah right !
75,000 @ PCGS prices and all PCI gold slabs worth 200 bucks is what u r gonna get !
He (used to be Tuesdaynightcoins) uses the following services: <<ANI,SEGS,NTC,UNC,PCI no off the wall company>>
Ha ha ha!!!
Seriously, each coin has an average value/price of $3,000? So, no reserve and one of those bidders might get it for $159? Scammer or nutcase, IMHO...

You know, I didn't even pick up on that. Kinda takes away any credibiility that seller has.

Yes, that's how all of these scam auctions work. The coins you win are "adjusted" to match your winning bid so the seller makes a profit.
I think that auctions that do not state clearly exactly what you win should not be permitted, but I don't run eBay.

It was a rip-off though, the lemon jello slime-ball wanted $153.23 for "slow boat " shipping.

I am aware that I am not the target market for this, but to a unsuspecting newbie, they could get taken in and lose a lot of money. Just my .02.
