"1996 Gold American Eagle for only $1"
Item description for the benefit of those that don't get to see it before ebay poofs it:
"You read it right. You can win a 1996 1 oz. American Gold Eagle for only $1.00. This is a drawing for the coin and you can enter in one of two ways.
Option 1 is to mail a one dollar bill along with a self addressed stamped envelope to: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
OR
Option 2 is to buy it now on eBay for $1 plus $1.00 shipping and processing. The $1 shipping and processing includes the postage for the drawing ticket, eBay fees and a few cents extra for my time. The drawing will be held after at least 1250 tickets are sold. Yes, I will make about $100 on this offer, but it is worth a dollar to win a $1150 plus coin. Free shipping to the winner. All people who enter will receive an email which will identify the winner and his/her email address so that you can verify that this is a legit deal. The winner agrees to have his/her email address published to all who enter. No other use will be made with the email address. I will not send any other offers, except possibly email about a future drawing. Each buyer is limited to 5 tickets. No additional postage will be required. For 5 tickets, either send $5 or pay eBay $6 to receive 5 tickets to the drawing. Enter now and maybe you will win a nice Christmas gift."

But if it's legit the odds are a lot better than the last lottery tickets I bought.
"Wow...my brother-in-law won the drawing" LOL
