This eBay listing takes the cake

IkesT · February 4, 2020 7:32PM

I've seen a lot of crazy eBay listings, but this one is at another level.

The item up for auction is a raw 2000-D Sacagawea dollar, starting bid $500 - nothing too unusual (for eBay).

Again, the coin is raw, but is advertised as NGC MS67 in the title - again, nothing unusual, yet.

The first photo for the listing is a screenshot of an ETSY LISTING for a coin priced at $30,000 - WTF?

.
.
The second photo is a coin sitting next to the SELLER'S (?) DRIVERS LICENSE PHOTO - ROFLMAO!

I'm not going to DOX anyone here by posting a personal photo, but you can see it in the original listing:

Looks like somebody found a treasure and bypassed our opinions.

PM'd the guy, said bring 30K cash only to a dark alleyway in North Carolina. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Listing has been pulled...There are some wild and crazy listings on the bay....When I used to frequent ebay, I saw some real funny ones...and, there are (or were) some strange categories as well...I remember back in the mid to late nineties, ebay was a fun venue, and there were good deals and not many scammers.

To be fair, it could be someone confusing the Cheerio dollar with a regular dollar.

Or, if we want to extrapolate that thought process out a little, maybe person A is sending a coded message to person B via eBay about mistaken identity (the ID) and value.

Maybe. The price is nutty, but I bet if we looked around on the internet we'd find a video or website somewhere telling us to "LOOK FOR A 2000 GOLDEN DEALER AND MAKE YOURSELF RICH!"

I agree with you. I was just joking around with my idea.

Here is the big problem with listings like these and etsy:

people constantly either call or come by the shop with face value stuff or common wheats and such because they saw listings like these and think there coin is worth piles of money, many when you try to explain, they just think your trying to rip them off course.

Take it to the police station parking lot where they record transactions.

It's safer.
