Clever ebay seller [beware] astori23 and her dad's awesome coin collection...

devious

Okay, so I find this interesting and am glad now that I didn't win one of this person's auctions...after doing some digging, it all made sense that this DAD story of "her's" is completely fabricated and these coins are in fact NOT coming from an estate but from somewhere else whether ebay or a store front. So if astori23 is browsing these forums, will you please stand up?

Anyways, for humor, my research on one coin, a 1925 S Peace...

Purchased here:

1925 S Peace Dollar bought from DAD's estate

Selling here:

"Dad's" 1925 S Peace Dollar being sold here...


And note the "MERCHANDISE RETURN CREDIT"

Just a warning for anybody who thinks they're getting a good deal. [I thought I was, but I was luckily outbid]

This ruse is nearly as old as ebay. Buy the coin, not the story.

I'm confused, how do you know these coins are the same coin ?

lcoopie

but......

"...Dads estate is full of high quality key date coins like this.

As the estate director gives these to me I will post them for Christmas.

A coin like this was art to my dad. He requested before he passed that his estate not be sold to a whole saler but to give collectors the same excitement he had while collecting.

My father said to me that there would be no reward for him if I sell his coins to a wholesaler.

We spoke about the time it would take me to sell it on ebay, dad responce was "it would only be a fraction of my time compared to the time it took Dad in finding his collection. I promise you will enjoy your purchase Dad collected the best,......"

Bob look at the L in liberty in both coins, same exact hit mark.

There are some marks that are present on both coins, but the clincher is when you look at the seller's feedback and see it was purchased two weeks ago. Dad must have died shortly thereafter.

Even if a wholesaler buys a coin doesn't it still eventually find its way to a collector who is excited for the opportunity to hunt down the coin? Does only ebay generate collector excitement?

whole saler = a complete and fully trained sailor ???

That woman has a big set of hollow cajones for putting such lies in her auction!

I certainly hope it snaps back in her face by selling the coin only the $23 bid!

Im so sorry to read about your dads passing.
based on the fact that THIS coin was purchased BY YOUR DAD only 16 days ago... you and your family must be under some real tough financial times to have to be selling his prized coin collection just under 2 weeks after his death.... so sad to hear... happy holidays...

and gosh...would you feel really bad if he really did die last week?

I think her ebay handle is itself a clue... All that verbiage in her auctions is just "a stori"
