    That's a risky auction, not too many players at that price level. Imo, be interesting to see what they go for.

    How is it a deal of the century when there is still over a day of bidding left? I will be curious to see what these go for.

    Not sure what the original poster is implying, but the auction looks legit to me. Risky for the seller but legit none the less.

    He's been a member for 12 years. I agree, it's risky for the seller but it looks legit.

    I'd be scared to offer them all in one lot. Would do better in 6 separate listings.....guess its good for the buyer, probably can get a good deal for these

    Up to $6100 now, but why start at $199?.The seller doesn't have a history of selling expensive items. My first thought is that his/her Ebay account might be hacked.

    not a coin seller. Only item listed. Only two feedbacks in the past six months. Yellow flags. Hijacked?

    These hijackers, do they have to hack both the eBay and PP accounts? Or do they try to have the winner pay thru different means?

    And has anybody here bought something from a highjacked account? Doesn't it fall under buyers protection ?

    They gave me a coupon for that and a coupon for 3 months free store last week .... I opened the store and then tried to activate the $10 fee coupon and it said sorry you are not eligible for this... Guess why... I had a store LOL

    Looks like someone bought them for spot, not a bad deal, if it's legit.

    Been keeping an eye on this. Nothing yet from the Gold Buff buyer, but seller did just get a neg on another high dollar item

    I suspect the gold buff transaction is most likely still in dispute.

    After it concluded. Hope ebay/paypal are able to recover the thousands they reimbursed the buyer, my fees are already too high.

    those are for a non-store seller, it is buried in the terms. I hear it is an easy mistake.
