    All of their feedback has been generated as a buyer...so far. That is quite a shopping spree.

    Interesting, but would not bother me at all as a seller.
    Sell me a coin or three!

    5 days and that many feedback for fast payment would concern me. If he's paying via paypal using a borrowed credit card he can buy a whole lot of stuff and have it in hand before the first chargeback hits paypal.
    My faith in my fellow man, when they do something unusual on ebay is not really very high.

    Maybe he's trying to open his own coin shop.

    I was just perusing what he's been buying. Lots of stuff, higher grades, and no pattern to it. Eagles, gold, walkers, Morgan and Peace dollars (he seems to like 1923 Peace dollars for some reason)... and why buy an '07 ASE from a seller in Greece? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but why do that when they're easily and more cheaply found in country?
    Also, he's buying stuff that's pricey- but still common enough to resell without raising too many eyebrows.
    Something smells here IMO. Too much, way too fast.


    Edit to add...it appears Julian is one of the sellers. I wonder if he is acquainted with or knows anything about this buyer.

    Laundering drug money? Money is money and ebay seller protection is ebay seller protection. My only concern would be convincing him to buy more.

    Buyer has not left any FB as of yet, however, with the # of sales, he must have a verified PayPal account, otherwise the # purchases would be limited. I'm gonna keep an eye on this buyer & place him on my "temp block" list.

    I hope theres no cause for concern , i wouldn't have been until i read this image The same buyer is showing among my bidders winning just about every piece of 90% silver i listed.

    Maybe this is some of the buying from the guy who is trying to corner the silver market.

    Maybe it's a new ID for the Federal Reserve. They are just replacing their near worthless dollars with precious metals.image

    who knows for sure what person is doing. keep an eye on them if that would make ya feel safer image best wishes

    TTT. Up to 79 feedback now. Still buying a whole lot of coins.
    Still betting that the chargebacks will start soon and with positive feedback left not sure anyone can say anything about it. On the other hand he might be a lottery winner. Just a very interesting buyer all around. Maybe he is the market maker.

    why don't you ask Julian Liedman or Rarcoa, DLRC, etal as those people sold Ryan coins. If you have a problem with this ID.....geesh.
    Have a nice day

    I doubt it. Not all new buyers who make many purchases are scammers.

    New members usually go overboard when they first join and often overpay. Consider yourself lucky to have him as a bidder.
