Looking on ebay and came across this store. Thoughts?

Anyone have some insight on this ebay store? All these coins seem too good to be true, but the feedback doesn't have any dings.

    My guess is he sells to people who don't know better. Those with any knowledge would stay far away. This neutral, while it's the only neutral/negative he has, is insightful: "Seller refunded costs incurred after returning ungradable coins. Thank you." It may be his cost of doing business to give up more money when he gets caught, rather than take the feedback hit he might incur by sticking people with bad coins and financial losses.

    Welcome to CU @Squeekstyle ......... the seller has many questionable coins JIMO so proceed with caution buying those raws.

    Thanks for the welcome @Paradisefound . Exactly why I decided to ask since I have never purchased an ebay coin. Mostly do coin store purchases or Reddit trades.

    Those coins are "unreal".

    The "SUPERB GEM BU++" raw Buffalo is AU. I wouldn't do business with this individual.

    Best thing to do with these types is to not buy any of their wares. Another reason ebay needs an "ignore seller" function.

    Collector, occasional seller

    I've seen these recently and have also taken notice. This seller is using the same MO of another questionable user that I just can't recall the name of. Changed username?

    Many happy BST transactions

    There once was a day when I would buy raw Morgans from a few of the most honest sellers there ever was. Those days are gone. :(

    Stay far away. The images on his Ebay page killed some pixels on my phone, will need to order some new ones.

    Thanks for the Welcome - @Paradisefound @coinhack @ricko.

    Also thanks for the cool feedback tool @OPA as that will come in very handy. Glad to get everyone's thoughts toward this store and I will most definitely move along from this seller after many warnings.

    Cheers All
