  Sounds like what was going on this weekend, with somebody on Yahoo stealing peoples auctions (the descriptions/pics) and re-listing them on Yahoo.

  ttt and,
  
  Bill could you elaborate a little on this scam. There appears to be a lot of this going on, on Yahoo, now. New sellers, great coins, some going at 10-20% of wholsale. All appear to be a scam of some sort. What was your clue in on the theft of Ebay, up on Yahoo?

  Thanks Bill. Definite scams. I like Yahoo, this kind o' krap will kill that. WAS a nice alternative to Ebay. But then again, no bidding on new, urated sellers, unless you verify. Same advice can be had for all these electronic auction dumps.

  I just sent a message to Yahoo about it, and suggested that have a prominent link on each page to report suspected ripp-offs of eBay (or other) auctions.
