Just saw this 'genuine' item appear on ebay. link

Of course the seller here just happened to be the buyer for this item. link

What a jerk!
Takes all kinds, I guess...

Bought it Nov 3 as a Copy and selling it 17 days later as the real thing. What a loser!

The numbnuts didn't even have the brains to wait until his purchase expired in the search feature. Doesn't bode well for his future success as an eBay con artist.

Perhaps we should withhold judgment until we see what the auction closes at.

abuell · November 20, 2003 5:45AM

We only catch the dumb ones - the smart ones get away.

Russ · November 20, 2003 5:45AM

I'm pretty sure that this auction is a violation of eBay policy.

I just sent him this email:

The coin above that you bought as a counterfit in the above sale wouldn't happen to be the same one you're trying to sell as a genuine coin would it?

Are you sure? He used the word honest in the auction description about 35,000 times, so I'm sure he's an honest seller.

Russ · November 20, 2003 5:52AM

Frank,

I also sent him an eMail about the coin. However, I wasn't quite as diplomatic as you.

You were nicer than me. In my email I said "Not only are you a crook, but you're a moron too. If you wanted to try and pass off a counterfeit coin as legit, you should have at least waited until auction which shows you buying it is no longer searchable on Ebay." Then, I reported him to Ebay.

Conder101 · November 20, 2003 6:06AM

I sent him this.

Can I see a scan of the counterfeit you bought on Nov 3rd so I can compare it to the genuine one you are selling?

I love it when the superheroes on this board don their capes and fly into battle.

Hmm, fraud doesn't seem to be this guy's bag. This is the type who would write his bank holdup note on the back of his driver's license.

I have a feeling shaking down old ladies might be a better hobby for him.

JeffinMich · November 20, 2003 6:54AM

This sounds like a job for Scumnuker!

abuell · November 20, 2003 9:08AM

I received this email from the seller:

I hav'nt touched this coin. Thank you very much.This i how i recieved it,
and i was under the impression it is real. I offer a money back gaurantee if
it is found that it is'nt. You should think before you accuse someone of
something that is'nt true. Have a good day. Somewhere else.

I'll be damned. That's a real eBay handle!

Russ, NCNE

Russ · November 20, 2003 9:24AM

I just got an eMail from him. He pulled the auction.

Russ, NCNE

Barry · November 20, 2003 9:32AM

I didn't get an email from him. Maybe because I called him a crook and a moron?

Russ · November 20, 2003 9:34AM

Barry,

I wasn't much nicer than that.

Russ, NCNE

nwcs · November 20, 2003 10:19AM

What a numbskull and maroon! And the seller has a difficult time with spelling, grammar, and using normal sentence casing!

Dog97 · November 20, 2003 10:26AM

I GOT A HEADACHE TRYING TO READ THE ALL CAPS DESCRIPTION. WHAT IN THE HECK IS THIS ALL ABOUT? SOMETIMES ONE SHOULD USE TO MAKE PARAGRAPHS IN LONG BULLSHIT LISTINGS.

kranky · November 20, 2003 10:35AM

I'm not so sure it's a good idea to tell these people how to avoid detection in the future.

FC57Coins · November 20, 2003 11:17AM

I got a response to my email:

I tired of explaining this, i'm looking into it. it is no longer on E-bay. I
think it is real. I don't think it is a repo and i'm making sure now.
Thank you DaVere

Yeah right - What a sleezeball!

XpipedreamR · November 20, 2003 11:51AM

This seller is scum, a filthy POS.

I'm particularly sensitive to eBay chicanery right now.

ConstellatioCollector · November 20, 2003 12:37PM

I don't see where he says it's a "Reproduction" (copy)? He says "Repo". Has he repossessed it from somebody???
