Looks like somebody different tried to snipe it...haven't had any feedback this year. Hopefully someone with enuff sense to disregard the second-chance offer they're gonna get
"What are you putting that tape on your nose for?" "Exactly."
Russ---I noticed the '36 half and penny bought from carolina, I was looking at previous feedback, he's been a buyin' fool lately. Ebay NEEDS to be indicted for an obscure Fereral Violation of some kind. Wished I could make a new law, they all too often perpetrate fraud---and buyer beware---HOGWASH!!!
There is another way to kill his auctions. Just get two ebayers that we know to bid up to a billion dollars on each of his auctions that are fraudalent!
I had also looked at all of his feedback earlier today. Something else I noticed (kinda picky, but just an observation)- In his "about me" page, he says he is disabled, was a chef for 20 years, has 7 kids and 2 grandkids. Now look at his hands in the pics - they just don't look like they've been through all that

<< <i>Here is another 1936 scam: A set of coins "commemorating" the coins of 1936. Note the seller calls it a 1936 Proof Set. Maybe he can get $2,000 for it!!!! >>

Then ebay will take notice.
Who will volunteer with me?
Need to rotate ebayers on these. >>
After a certain dollar amount (I think it's $5,000.00?) you have to sort of pre-qualify for the bid via a CC w/ eBay.
I know someone who emailed most of the bidders on the1936 and 1939 sets. One of the high bidders indicated that the seller had contacted him and said the sets would not be sold and not to send any payment, etc . The seller apparently figured out that he'd been nailed.
It is, in fact, a very good thing that Ebay is not liable for fraud within it's auctions. If it were, every scumbag lawyer in the country would be circling the auctions like a buzzard, just waiting for an undotted "I" or uncrossed "T". Soon, the lawyers would do to Ebay what they've done to healthcare. They'd turn a fairly operable, inexpensive system into a complete trainwreck and profit richly from it's demise.
So, unless you want Ebay's fees to go up 100-fold to support ambulance-chasing lawyers, you should be glad that they're (so far) immune to legal action.

Baccaruda, do your comments pertain to the criticisms of the seller who listed the "Proof sets" that are being discussed in this thread? Or, are you changing the subject to other sellers who are unfairly criticized? Please clarify - thanks.
I'm talking about fraud liability in general on Ebay. While this seller may be a scumbag, or simply uninformed, making Ebay liable for fraud perpetrated on it's site is a losing situation for everyone. Fraud seems black-and-white on this board when it concerns coins. In the legal arena there's no such thing as black-and-white, lawyers have found that "gray" is the most profitable color in the legal rainbow. As soon as you open Ebay up to liability, every auction becomes potentially expensive - the number of suits would be astronomical.

The quarter in the 39 set is not even a BU. It's an AU.
I can think of a dozen reasons not to have high capacity magazines, but it's the reasons I haven't thought about that I need them.
"Exactly."
I hate it when you see my post before I can edit the spelling.
Always looking for nice type coins
my local dealer
WOW the tribute set is already at $102 and there are six days left!
This set is "limited to 1,009 commemorative pieces worldwide" so you better hurry and get this one!!!

You are doing well, subject 15837. You are a good person.
