Did it change since you posted, or am I missing something else??

seems fine to me. seller also has positive feedback selling like bars.
Loves me some shiny!
maybe doesn't know how to crop

Seller is clear in title and description of both auctions on what is being sold. Both bars appear to have recently been dipped and the discoloration on the JM is suspicious. OP might be referring to a problem with the bar S/Ns, but unless he shares we will not know.

Exactly. Why open the potential problem for yourself by picturing 2 bars when you're selling only one and nowhere in the description does it specifically say "this auction is ONLY for the Engelhard/JM bar." (Correction, they have added this since listed, but only in the JM bar auction) They also have the Brand/Mint listed as APMEX.
Scam is inaccurate, I don't know what I was thinking when I posted that. A potential headache from the wrong buyer is more what I meant. Combine that with coming from Canada and having potential "duty fee" problems which I recently had to go thru...just something to avoid imo.
I'm going to change the title of this thread because it is not what I meant, sorry about that.
The only one who might end up with a headache is one who buys strictly from the pictures without reading the words. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but it is clear to me what the seller intends to deliver.

So with that said, I ask again. Why would the seller set him/herself up for a potential headache like that?
I'm not wanting to argue about this, it affects me in no way whatsoever. I just can't believe in this day and age of eBay morphing into the completely and totally weighted side for buyers that a seller would set themself up like that.
<< <i>I agree derry, but people do buy impulsively right near the end of an auction thinking what they see is what they'll be getting and don't take the few moments to READ. I hope that you'd agree with that. >>
I agree with that and when they do get burned it is their own fault.

Because the seller is not very smart, or just a bit lazy.

But in the world of eBay, a buyer can do no wrong, none at all.

Other than being overpriced, I don't see an issue. Am I missing something?

buyer might be expecting to get both items pictured.
