WTF is wrong with some eBay seller?

What the heck is going through some people's heads when they decided to take photo's like this to sell anything frankly on eBay? I wish there was a "reach out and slap someone" button you could push. This is just disgusting in my opinion.

    Seems to be his thing. I think 'he.' Who knows. Could be a gem Morgan. Still, if it is, it's overpriced. If it's a 66....well then we're in the ballpark. Not a slab you see everyday. Right leg over left. I agree a bit strange. 94% feedback is like a "C-" on the Bay. These thoughts brought to you at no charge.

    The listing also violates ebay listing policy by having the grade in the title for non-approved TPGs and he also claims NGC certification in the info block. Useless pictures and way overpriced to boot. This is a perfect example of how not to list a coin. This will probably be relisted over and over for the next year or so, these people are what's ruining ebay.

    Collector, occasional seller

    Didn't take long for eBay to NUKE the auction.

    I had the same thought...maybe an attention grabber?

    Even bad publicity is still publicity....

    Unfortunately, if you had seen the auction and looked at the second photo, there would be no doubt as to whether or not is was a guy. I chose not to show that image here.. I'm shuddering my shoulders now...

    At least the "tea kettle effect" is not in play here.

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
