Are these really up for sale?......

AUandAG

For a zero feedback seller these are some mighty impressive coins. Anybody recognize any of them? I've
sent the seller an email asking for different pictures of several of the coins...we'll see what he says or what
he sends.

Any point in reporting this one or will EBay just blow it off???

Now, this is one where lots of messages to the seller from our little club might have a positive impact, let him see the error of his ways, and become a member in good standing. I'm in.

I just went trough this with another seller, using PCGS price guide photos. We just have to find the coin and report it. Also report is to PCGS or Coinfacts that he he usuing thier photos. They can get this pulled.
The picture for this auction is PCGS price guide pic for the 1894 coin # 97229 DM

Done!

My problem is, he's saying things like:

All coins pictured in my listings are the coins being auctioned.

This auction is for an 1879 S United States Silver Morgan Dollar. Coin is absolutly beautiful as you can see by my pictures.

To me, this means one of two things:

1. He really owns the coins, and those are his photos (or photos of his coins) being used by coinfacts. One would think he would note this fact as an added selling point (for example: 'This coin is a plate coin on coinfacts.com')...I doubt this is the case.
2. He is intentionally misrepresenting the coins he's selling by using stock photos and claiming they are not.

I'm inclined to go with #2, but I hope I'm wrong.

Edited to add:

I just sent him this message on the 1894 dollar:

Is this a plate coin from the PCGS price guide? It looks like the same image...

I emailed the seller twice and asked two question. First I asked if I could see a couple of the coins (told him I was in the area).
Next I emailed him and asked if he'd take $2,000 for the 94 Proof. Told him I could PayPal the money to him right away. We'll see if he takes the bait...

They're gone or I should say he's gone.

is going on here?????????

he wasn't Narued, so he's back

UtahCoin

I think he got cold feet on those earlier auction and ended them (check his closed auctions). Now he's doing cheaper coins.

UtahCoin

He just sent me an email reply to my question about the earlier coins he had listed;

"I am working on taking pictures of them today and then they will be back
on, sorry about that Im new to this. thank you for the interest."

Not the coins we thought they were, big surprise. Now no reverse photos of a CC-mint Morgan. Whatever excuses he makes, he still lied about those being photos of his coins...that makes him not trustworthy in my book.

I am assuming that I get the same response

ILikeMercs

he takes Paypal. We KNOW that's safe.

UtahCoin

Now he got a 93 CC up, but only showing the reverse....

This image is lifted from Coinfacts too.

Weeeell, looks like you all had fun today while I was at work! No response to my email this morning. So, I just
sent the following: "Greg, no response for my request for additional pics. Will you be able to send them? What's
up with the auction, I don't see it up anymore! Also, I see that you are new to ebay and I would advise to get
up to speed with the listing of these coins. Ebay does require that you post an image of the exact coin that is
being auctioned and both the front and the back. As a fellow collector I know that you know how important that
is. I would like you to send pics of any CC coins that you are selling. Thanks, bob"

Ok, we'll see what happens now.

Can anyone find a vam from tho obverse? That should be enough proof of a scam right?

<< <i>Now no reverse photos of a CC-mint Morgan. >>



It is a CC Morgan though, VAM-7 to be precise.

UtahCoin

Just got a email from him. He is willing to show me the coins in person..... Anybody in Washington that wants to go take a look?
