Strange eBay Auction

This attractive Morgan sells last night.

Within minutes the winning bidder list the exact same coin (after tweeking the original auction photos a bit).
I suppose that is his right but then read the auction text. It's as if he has the coin in hand.

Strange.

    How can his feedback show as private in the bid history - yet completely show in the new sale listing??

    Two separate eBay accounts perhaps.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    No personal interest in either auction but I wonder if it could get a NGC star?

    Interesting update this morning to the auction description.



    << <i>THIS IS MY COIN , I PAY GREATTONING MONEY TO TAKE PICTURES OF MY COINS FOR ME ! I BOUGHT THIS COIN FROM GREATTONING FOR 782.00 , HE WAS RECENTLY RESELLING IT FOR ME AND I DECIDED TO CANCEL THE TRANSACTION/SELL AND SELL IT MYSELF. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK ! >>



    Apparently, somebody contacted the seller. image

    He didn't cancel the transaction- he simply outbid everyone else (including me).

    Secondly, why did he take Greattoning's photos and enhance them? They appeared vivid enough I'd think without additional work.

    He is also running an auction with an ANACS Morgan he recently purchased from Shane (Shawnee Coins). I know because I was again the underbidder. I suppose he is going to also state that was his coin and he had "canceled" that transaction too.

    Strange.

    Based on that comment, it seems to me that he was shill bidding and did not get the price he wanted so is trying to sell it on his own now. Neat.

    Does he still pay consignment to the people whom's time he has wasted? Surely there are also ebay fees involved in this wonderful situation?
  • mumumumu Posts: 1,840
    He says he paid greattoning to take the pictures for him. And he also states that he bought it from greattoning originally. Youd think that the greatoning pictures already existed since he already sold them once and he wouldnt need to pay him for them now. Shady all around.
