  • The same 500$ note keeps getting used in many shots in different positions. Seems very deliberately assorted to look a certain way.

    6 or 7 decent notes and a sea of ratty $1 notes, plus a sea of cull cents...sign me up!!! The HSN-ish gold plated quarters are just icing. I'm just glad that when I was dumb enough to consider something like this, I didn't have the money. image

    Too expensive for me, but you have to admit that it would be fun to search through all of that.

    That's awesome. I see 1, maybe 2 things out of that storage locker full of trash that I'd want.

    I bet it took them a couple of weeks to garage sale and resale shop all of that stuff.

    I'd put a real world value of $2500 on the entire lot, and would throw out the other 95% of what's there.

    More power to them. There's a sucker born every minute.

    A person would need lots of money and patience to bid on this lot which will probably gather over $30,000 in bids.
    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.

    probably a hijacked account? Hasn't been used in a year. One auciton since then to get positive feedback and get them to display 100%.

    The one sale for $32K was to auraart(198) who left positive feedback, but when you look at the "feedback left as buyer" it doesn't show up. Cancelled transaction?

    Way to much chaff in that auction for me.image

  • Hype, smoke, and mirrors exactly. Not sure why I wasted five minutes of my life looking through it, but she does state the following towards the end:


    I would say there most likely all world coins and wheat pennies, and as you can see there is us silver coins there could be silver world coins but I have no way of testing so will say there plated to be safe. Please note that the gold colored coins in the large mix of coins are not solid gold from my research just plated I believe, however i never tested them there's to many gold colored coins to even look up, there is some solid gold us coins that are included though.I really haven't looked through these, I will say that there is roughly 33 Silver coins in this entire lot so Total of 30 Silver Dollars and also some halves. Please note that everything is included in this auction accept for the wooden boxes used to display the coins. 50% of the coins are from various countries around the world the rest is the wheat pennies, Indian Heads, etc, I have never searched them, honestly.



    If a hijacked account I see no reason why she would give such a disclaimer. Most likely just fishing for a sucker... JMO.

    Not for me.

    You would think there would be an accurate accounting of everything instead of a bunch of hype with the same $500 note in all the photos. ie. # of ounce of GOLD, # of ounces of Silver, #of Silver Certificates, #of $100 bills with dates...and then for all denominations etc...crazy listing.

    "IT HAS TAKEN MONTHS TO CREATE THIS AD"

    And it would take months to read it if I weren't so quickly turned off by the BS and hype.

    looks like from the tv show storage wars on A&E

    I'd make an appointment to view the lot before buying.If the seller refused,I'd pass. Guess people like buying lotto tickets or need to pay some collector "dues" from time to time. image
  • lcoopielcoopie Posts: 8,873 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I'll take a guess that no one is bidding here.

    Actually, there was feedback left back in March 18, from seller to buyer. Then feedback from buyer to seller on April 19.

    im certainly not bidding but 20,000 and climbing with 43 bids. Crazy.

    People are idiots and always looking for something from nothing. Then again maybe we're all missing the boat. Of course that boat is probably Charon's ferry so not a great loss image

    No effing way. They keep repurposing bills and coins in multiple shots, so it's virtually impossible to gauge just how much of any given commodity you are actually buying. For all we know, those boxes overflowing with coins might only an inch or two of actual coins, with a bunch of wooden blocks or other non-coin crap underneath used to fill the box to the top. Also, what's to say that the silver pitchers, trays, etc. aren't plate (sorry I didn't make it all the way though)? That clock? Chinese knockoff perhaps.

    Scammola.

    I don't think Cleveland is near an ocean. Let me go get my map.
