This is a pretty bold attempt at a flip

Monday Teletrade auction, coin sells for $150 + juice.
Tuesday morning it's on eBay with a $375 Buy It Now.
The eBay auction uses Teletrade's pictures, which makes sense because the seller won't have the coin in hand for at least 10 days. I'm thinking about sending an offer for the exact closing price plus fees just to see the reaction, though I'm guessing it will be rejected immediately and automatically.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Good luck! (I won't be bidding).

No, it sold or there wouldn't have been a closing price.
At least he didn't break it out of the holder and try to sell it problem free. He can ask what ever he thinks it's worth.
Will he get it? Probably not.
<< <i>So the seller is trying to flip the coin. So what? >>
I agree. He must have thought it sold for less than it's true value.

This is the same guy I went off on a rant when I was a newbie here.
I give him credit he didn't crack it first.
He even used the words very-lightly-cleaned twice!
Hope Teltrade doesn't mess up on shipping before it may sell on the bay.

<< <i>Uh, now it says it sold for over $800. >>
It ENDED at $875..... 'the item is no longer available', so the seller 'shut it down' himself....did the seller get an offer on it and sell it, or did he pull it for another reason? I never saw it at $375, I opened this thread and the seller had already ended it at $875, so I don't know if he raised the price, it got bids (if it wasn't a BIN) or what....was it a BIN or auction style listing??

BIN with a best offer option. Was originally at $375BIN with a best offer option. He probably saw a bunch of watchers and raised the price then ended if someone made an offer offline - just speculation on my part. Seller seems to sell only as best offers latlely.

$1,174.95 under auction 360542444340...
Isn't that was most forms of business in this country are based on?
By the way how does a coin start with a BIN or best at $375 (ID#251202070761) then sell at $875 then get sold under another (ID#360542444340) for $1175.
Must have been listed multiple times for sale.
Luze...plz splane dis to me.
<< <i>i for one prefer the guy make his money flipping coins rather than robbing banks or scamming retired folks, i know the bleeding hearts here will say hes trying to rip someone off, if only there was a way to protect people from spending thier money any way they see fit. i say let the guy make a profit, maybe he will maybe he wont. but in all honestly, who does it hurt either way ? >>

Exactly.
