This one appears to be just plain old fraud.



Buy a BU 1881-CC MOrgan for under $50

    A fraud perhaps but hes not infringing on anyone's trademark

    Just to be safe he even labeled the year 1881 as trademarked

    If I were going to run a scam like that, I'd try to make it a little more believable. Something like $125 "Grand Opening Special".

    Anytime you find those weird symbols in the title you can rest assured it is a
    Chinese Seller selling fakes. Report immediately and they will be nuked along
    with the seller.

    this has been going on awhile
    i've wondered if it's a floating hijacker as it's so blatant
    i wonder if some have bought something out of a foreigner only to have the seller use a buyers info to set-up shop with
    but
    yeah
    these "C.C." dollars with all the trademark stuff is recurring more n more
    everything in life is but merely on loan to us by our appreciation....lose your appreciation and see

    Ebay might get in on it as well as Paypal anyway. They most likely will hold the funds.

    Probably notify buyers as well.

    He ran the same scam last week with 1889 CC Morgans. Had more than 10 available. He pops up all over the Ebay marketplace with the same scam.

    Why doesn't eBay remove this seller from eBay permanently?

    They do remove him every time. I just got a email from Judith saying that Ebay has banned him.

    He'll just find some other computer and get a new handle and sign up again.

    Hope that eventually this gets to be more trouble than it's worth for this guy.
