Me too.

I'm just up the road from you, in Abbottstown.
<< <i>Regardless of the wording, having the 2 rolls pictured rather than 2 coins, is intentional deception.

Unless it's to show the rolls they were originally in.

Or, maybe to show where the coins came from?
<< <i>Regardless of the wording, having the 2 rolls pictured rather than 2 coins, is intentional deception. >>
In the entire history of the english language, you'd have a hard time finding a more declarative sentence than this:
YOU WILL RECEIVE 2 COINS.
And if the meaning's not clear enough just on its own, he's actually SHOUTING IT OUT. How clueless would one have to be to think that one would get anything other than "2 COINS"?
Why would anyone buy that crap anyway. Sorry, too many tequila and limes.
<< <i>You mean this? >>
Wow, given that final bid, I expect a dissapointed bidder and a negged seller if the return isn't accepted regardless of what the auction states.
Were you the winner CoinCrazy?

The words are very clear - you get two cents. Why will people pay $15 for two cents? Its not like they are large cents.

LOL!
Makes me wonder if some bidders don't even read the auction.
<< <i>Yes, another seller who preys on the stupid and those unwilling to read the whole auction description. >>
You repeat yourself.
Anybody who is unwilling to read the whole description IS stupid. Not to mention someone who ignores eBay's instructions regarding bidding:
"Learn about the item you found. Read the item description carefully. If you have any questions about the item, you can ask the seller by clicking the "Ask seller a question" link."
edited to add... OK- maybe that was a tad harsh. If you bid without reading the whole description, you are acting stupidly. You may or may not be stupid, though.
Hopefully, if you are nice, you can talk them into some sort of refund despite the no return policy.
Hoard the keys.
<< <i>I think somebody is going to whine because the seller uses a picture of two rolls of cents in the listing even though the description plainly says "you will receive 2 coins". >>
What is the difference of stating you will get two coins and picturing two rolls of Lincoln's and selling one ASE from a mint roll and showing a picture of the mint roll. That is all over the Bay- fact is people need to learn how to read and stop just looking at the pretty pictures.
