    Pretty ingenious for someone who has "multipuls" for sale.

    Caveat emptor. I believe the buyer will receive:

    It's actually significantly cheaper in fees for the seller to sell them that way rather than a BIN auction and buyers pick how many they want.
    I honestly don't see anything wrong here.

    Will ship pic certified or UPS mail fully insured at declared value upon funds being cleared?????

    I had an item I bought from a low feedback seller, it was $8 he emailed me after I paid and said he would ship as soon as paypal released the fundsimage

    At $8 I didn't care but somehow i think with an ounce of gold I doubt folks would be that patient.

    Picture of a coin for $1580 - something is wrong.

    In the necklace listing he has up it says this


    Item will ship when funds clear PayPal! It's GOLD!!!!!!!


    That means he is going to be negged clear off ebay long before he ships anything but he can still cause some stress to buyers even if they ultimately get their money back

    I asked him if he was selling a picture. No answer yet.

    What am I missing? I guess someone is going to have to spell this one out for me, sorry. I still don't see anything wrong.
    Is the low shipping fee the issue? Is it that it went for less than it's worth? That might be attributed a newbie selling it.
    I don't know, what's wrong with this auction other than the seller is taking a hit...but we don't know what he's into it for either.

    Given all the other misspellings, should we assume that "pic" is spelled correctly? Perhaps the seller meant piece?

    That said, I would not be a buyer however.

    The AGE BIN was below spot....As the saying goes: If it's to good to be true...etc..etc..

    If he's waiting for PayPal to remove the hold status of payments made before shipping the item(s).....He and the buyer may have a looooong wait.

    then buy his $1580 picture, it's a bargain.

    I am pretty sure he changed the title before it sold. I am 99% sure the original title alluded to the sale being for a picture of one AGE from a mint tube of 10.

    yep, he changed it from "pic" to actual coin.

    He does have another auction that looks like it says a pic of an opened mint tube for $3.25.
    "Pic Opened Roll of 10-1oz Liberty Gold Coins 2012" with a picture of such. Hilarious.

    His 10 ratings are 8 of buyer, 2 of private, 1 of which was buying a gun part.

    Thanks to Pokermandude, I now understand. Would've been nice if someone would've pointed that out and not left me hanging. I didn't click on any of this til the auction was over.

    sometimes it helps to read the thread.

    Again, thaT was after the auction ended. You guys were talking about it before it ended and then prodeeded to leave me hangin when I first saw all this...after the auction ended. All it would've taken someone to do is what pokermandude did, but choose not to and mislead me. Kind of like what the seller of this auction did...pot, kettle, black. image
