Wow. No picture AND "list available on request"?

lordmarcovan

Geez. What a hardworking eBay seller.

And this guy has a feedback of 4810, so it's not as if he's new to eBay.

He's an olddddd guy, tired, maybe teasing some bids but likely a good bargain in there don't you think?

SaorAlba

He has images of all his silver slugs. He claims he is old, and that may well be true, but he is also slick.

canadacolornut

I don't know the guy and have no real interest in his material.

But 100% positive on 4,800 transactions ain't that easy.......

lordmarcovan

He might be a stand-up guy, for all I know, but if he's too lazy to type a list of twenty-some coins, I wish him luck getting somebody to email and ask what the heck's included in the lot. No picture's one thing, but no picture AND no description? With a 49 dollar starting bid? Geez.

I listed auctions with no pictures back in my early eBay days, before I had a scanner. Lots of people did it back then. But you can bet I gave the dates, mints, approximate grades, and a description of the color or toning of each piece. This guy can't even be troubled to list the dates.

Starting bid looks about right at half that amount.

In all fairness, what's the beef?

lordmarcovan

Oh, nothing. Really a non-issue, I suppose.

I just found it strange that he wouldn't list what's in the auction. Sort of like the ol' "pictures available on request" thing on BST, but worse, 'cause you'd have to ask him just for the list of what's there, much less any pictures.

Legit seller. I asked a question asking for a list and got it in email. I won the lot at @75% of KM values and was happy with the coins. The seller seems to be just lazy.

Just curious was your search set for Straits or 1 cent sale when you found that one?

lordmarcovan

<< <i>Just curious was your search set for Straits or 1 cent sale when you found that one? >>

Oh, you might say I was in dire Straits at the time.

Cool, and good for you. I wasn't calling into question his legitimacy. Just the laziness. You already got the coins?

I don't need any Straits cents, anyway. I was cruisin' for some of the other denominations- 1901 Vickies only.

I see the auction shows no bids, but has been relisted, also without bids? Could that be why he prefers to give a list on request? He's now selling a different list of stuff?

koincollect

I got a different auction lot @ 9 months back. The most of the coins were properly graded.
