Maybe he liked the coin so much, he wanted to buy it twice

to show he was sincere.

There seem to be a lot of rocket science majors doing internships on eBay.

flaminio · February 24, 2003 3:37AM

Looking at his bidding history you can tell he's a big fan of one particular seller....

Baley · February 24, 2003 3:39AM

and i was about to snipe it, too. instead, another seller crossed off the"maybe buy from" list.

ccrdragon · February 24, 2003 3:41AM

That's pretty good - he won the same coin twice!!!

Baley · February 24, 2003 3:43AM

wow, that's pretty incriminating. does eBay investigate these things, or is it up to us outside detectives ?? (who don't really go looking for it, just notice it when we're shopping)

maddox · February 24, 2003 3:43AM

But the questions hould be, did he get it for a good price

reported to ebay

ksteelheader · February 24, 2003 3:46AM

Listen, in the distance, can you hear the CU cops and bluetick hounds???? LOL Ken

Get ShoeshineBoy on this one! He loves collecting the NARUs.

nwcs · February 24, 2003 4:35AM

Maybe they are stock images.

ShoeshineBoy · February 24, 2003 4:39AM

>> Get ShoeshineBoy on this one! He loves collecting the NARUs

Done, but I was almost tempted to let this one go since it was way too easy to prove (how stupid do you have to be to put the same coin up for auction in less than a month?). If this guy gets NARU'd, we should see the results in a day or two.

I guess he found a coin he likes so much he just can't keep from buying it over and over and over.

Looking at his bidding history you can tell he's a big fan of one particular seller....

He is doing what all smart collectors do, find a dealer you can trust and buy only from him.

wow, that's pretty incriminating. does eBay investigate these things, or is it up to us outside detectives ??

Ebay guarantees that it will never take more then 22 years to complete an investigation so if someone reports we are assured of knowing the outcome by 2025.

Here is the seller's response to my question as to whether it was a shell bid:

Howe [sic] about when a coin is RETURNED and then the coin is relisted.
Sorry, not everyone is bright enough not to bid on the same piece twice.
I also will be relisting an 1882 S Morgan in MS-67 that I was STIFFED on
by "--------" and a 1923 Peace Dollar in MS-66 that I also was stiffed
on....... and the list goes on.....approximately 5 % of all coins are
either NOT paid for or are returned for one reason or another. Your
"answer" just is not fair and does not ring true just because you say
so.

nwcs · February 24, 2003 5:17AM

"and the list goes on....."

Sure does. The IDs, that is.

Russ · February 24, 2003 5:21AM

His explanation might be a bit more credible if the "returned" coin hadn't been won the second time by the "returnee".

Russ, NCNE
