Heads up on an eBay image thief.

Thanks to eagle eye Grabba.

The image in this auction was lifted from one of my auctions.

Which makes this statement in his listing a lie:

<< picture is one of the fifty seven coins >>

OOPS! Link was the auction where he grabbed the image. Fixed!

Uh..Russ, that IS your auction.

He's fixing it now I'm sure.

Hell, I didn't think I was the first one to spot it. I was sure Russ had already seen it. Russ usually finds these things way before anyone else does.

I sent the seller an email (before I ever talked to Russ since the seller claims all of the coins look exactly like the picture) asking him for a picture of several of the coins together.

Haven't heard from him yet and don't expect to.

Russ · September 28, 2007 7:49AM

OOPS! Fixed link.

Russ, NCNE

coinman420 · September 28, 2007 7:53AM

he says coins are still in mint packaging yet in the photo you can see its in a pcgs slab.

66RB · September 28, 2007 7:54AM

reported.

Russ · September 28, 2007 7:56AM

I also reported him. With a one day auction, though, I don't know if eBay will be able to react quickly enough. I also sent the seller an eMail so he knows he's nailed.

Russ, NCNE

Texast · September 28, 2007 7:59AM

I asked him why he is using a stolen image, I don't expect he will reply. I also reported it, maybe if they get enough complaints they will pull it.

I sent him an email and blocked him as well.

Obviously the half isn't in a mint cello. Did they really think buyers wouldn't notice the plastic slab?

I love how it goes on to say these could be Acccented Hair. Well of course they are, but there not yours.

Good eye Graba.

ILikeMercs · September 28, 2007 8:41AM

try to win one and neg him.

ILikeMercs · September 28, 2007 8:43AM

<< ONE BUYER THINKS THEY COULD BE ACCENTED HAIR PROOF- YOU DECIDE. >>

did he already sell some?

GoldenEyeNumismatics · September 28, 2007 8:44AM

eh, at least he is not trying to sell that actual coin.

LindeDad · September 28, 2007 8:49AM

Too bad it is not a hot link.

grabba · September 28, 2007 12:55PM

Looks like he ended it himself.

morgansforever · September 28, 2007 12:58PM

Grabba, I asked GoldyGoldGoldy to send me a reverse pic. The reply was I will send one out soon.

I think he or she was flooded with messages, and knew we knew the deal.

<< Grabba, I asked GoldyGoldGoldy to send me a reverse pic. The reply was I will send one out soon.

He just emailed me and said he had relisted the coins with an actual picture.

Looks like they didn't look like that first picture he used.

Relisted auction

RichieURich · September 28, 2007 1:01PM

Good job, coin posse!

options26 · September 28, 2007 1:03PM

He relisted the auction with an even better picture now. The guys right they looked exactly like the one in Russ' pics.

Link to new auction

morgansforever · September 28, 2007 1:05PM

Grabba, just received this message from Goldy:

"sorry my helper put the wrong picture. thanks goldy"

Sure, blame it on the helper. Yeah, so many listings he or she needs a helper.

Texast · September 28, 2007 1:24PM

He gave me the same response: "sorry my helper put up the wrong photo. thanks goldy"

mojoman · September 28, 2007 1:25PM

It is good to see that someone(All of you here on the forums:&gt

) is trying to put a stop to all the scams on ebay, how many a week do you think all of you find?maybe Ebay should hire all of you,I do not mean this as a bad thing,I think you are all doing a great job,I wish there was 100 more of you
