No activity for 4 1/2 years, then suddenly a few sales that are all private auctions. Images and description swiped from Heritage. No PayPal.

    Hijacked account?

    All the recent feedback is from users with less than 30 feedback. Also, the usernames and feedback have a vely Asian flavor to them... "Very good infro"... "chi1502"... "123hongz"

    Run away.

    Ah, who cares, it's just a Hairyhead. image

    (Say, where's LucyBop been lately, anyway?)

    Seriously, though, "borrowed" Heritage pix are always a red flag.

    I think when your last 7 "buyers" have feedback scores that low and one of those being recently suspended, does not fit the standard bell shape curve. That odor you smell is real

    Russ, you untrusting soul. Just because all of his recent auctions were to people with low feedbacks who only buy things for $0.01?

    his other auction is for an NGC slabbed coin, but the pictures show it's in a PCGS slab, so yes, it seems real fishy to me.

    Reported. eBay violation for no pics of both front and bag of the slab. Reporting that alone will get it pulled.

    Despite Russ's apparent flatuence problem. This reaks of scam. Good Eye.
    If I say something in the woods, and my wife isn't around. Am I still wrong?

    Definitely a scam.

    An authorized PCGS dealer, and a contributor to the Red Book.

    Scam. And I swear that 1910-D half eagle is in a PCGS holder.
  • RussRuss Posts: 48,514 ✭✭✭
    eBay finally nuked this auction today - long after somebody won it for $765. And, the kicker is that they haven't NARU'd the seller and he still has another scam auction listed!

    I've reported that one also, but the more reports we have the better.

    Maybe his casino stuff didn't work and now he needs the cash.
