Report this scumbag

I'm just kind of speechless, especially when looking at the positive feedback.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1883-THREE-CENT-VG-see-details-/221019918874?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item3375d0521a#ht_500wt_1156

All coins are crude as can be, especially the 55 DDO.

good lord

it appears the person hasn't sold 1 authentic coin out of all those coins

those were so bad i almost don't feel sorry for the buyers ><

segoja · May 9, 2012 1:06PM

With the feedback he has if people bid and lose it's their own fault.

Justlooking · May 9, 2012 1:14PM

One of the negative feedback comments was removed by ebay. Ouch.

MsMorrisine · May 9, 2012 1:16PM

toy money?

And to top it off along with selling counterfeits he screwed them by charging $25.00 for shipping!

You know, if eBay were interested in protecting potential buyers, they'd add notes to the seller's feedback log when an auction was cancelled due to being a counterfeit represented as an authentic item.

<< You know, if eBay were interested in protecting potential buyers, they'd add notes to the seller's feedback log when an auction was cancelled due to being a counterfeit represented as an authentic item. >>

That would be a great idea. Or just simply posting an explanation of why their auctions were cancelled even if it didn't pertain to coins. At the same time eBay would loose business because people would be less interested in bidding on accounts with histories of these kind of issues..ultimately giving eBay less revenue.

ebaybuyer · May 9, 2012 3:07PM

i reported his 1865 dime, a bad chinese fake, usually i dont report ebay listings, but the 1931-s cent that is clearly a fake is evidence enough that the seller is well aware of the fakes hes selling

Batman23 · May 9, 2012 3:20PM

Those are so bad that I can even see they are fakes. Isn't there a watch group out there to protect buyers from this kind of thing or do they only attack PCGS slabed coins

Be ready, he has "got more items coming 777" to be exact

rec78 · May 9, 2012 3:23PM

Are you kidding??

This coin should not fool anyone-yet someone bought it for $710 and left positive feedback?
Or this 1872 two cent piece?
Or this 1873 two cent piece?
Or this 1811 half cent?
All the above auctions received positive feedback. But really i guess- there is a sucker born every minute. These things never cease to amaze me at how gullible some people are. And when they go to sell them in a few years, they will get mad at all the dealers that tell them they are fake.

LindeDad · May 10, 2012 12:52AM

Well there is that saying about a fool and his money.

lcoopie · May 10, 2012 1:03AM

however correct you might be,
is no reason to be vulgur here IMO.

LanceNewmanOCC · May 10, 2012 1:49AM

.
my first thought was that this person and some of his buddies probably made legit purchases of these fake items on each others accounts or the seller has more than one account and simply left pos FB to give confidence

i just can't bring myself to believe that many bad coins sold to collectors/dealers

really here nor there though as i am just venting at the daily frustration that people can't or don't want to find legitimate ways of doing business/making money

credit goes to thecoinlook for bringing these to our attention

LindeDad · May 10, 2012 1:55AM

Sorry to offend but if one looks at the linked item they find a 1883 3center if one looks in the current "Red Book" at this coin in the supposed grade of VG it's priced at $190.00 and there is a picture of a coin that looks very different. The seller has it at a fixed price very much higher than that and charges about five times normal cost of shipping. Oh and I forgot to mention that he admits to cleaning it in the description.

Now tell me who is going to bid on it?

AMRC · May 10, 2012 1:57AM

There are so many things wrong with this, I do not know where to begin.

lkeigwin · May 10, 2012 2:07AM

Reported. The auction will be killed. I also cited some of his past, bogus auctions and recommended ebay NARU him. We'll see.
Lance.

rec78 · May 10, 2012 3:52AM

Here is another one to report-1880 three cent nickel--Same seller-different ID? and yet another--1882 three cent nickel.

I think this is the same seller with a different ID--Same types of fakes-Same location

GMan · May 10, 2012 3:55AM

That 55 DDO is hilarious. Anyone bidding on that needs their head examined.

messydesk · May 10, 2012 4:34AM

This just in from eBay, "I removed the listing and the member's selling privileges. He may no longer list items on eBay."

And then there's this:

Another fake, same manufacturer

So if you didn't get a chance to report the first one, report this one.

LindeDad · May 10, 2012 4:58AM

Will guess we will find out how many ID's he can get busted on.

AUandAG · May 10, 2012 5:08AM

Reported and referred to past shenanigans.

bob

AUandAG · May 10, 2012 5:32AM

Banned again!

messydesk · May 10, 2012 6:23AM

That one just got nuked, too, and the user with it. I'll bet there are more.

I note two things:

1. contact past buyers to let them know they were fakes
2. check past feedback and you can guess where he obtained the items.

lkeigwin · May 10, 2012 6:43AM

Great work by ebay agents!

Lance.
