TayTay · May 18, 2005 5:49PM

Sacagawea is spelled right but then camera is spelled "commer"

Mrpawn · May 18, 2005 6:41PM

With those shipping charges you will have a commer in no time. And maybe you'll have enough left for a speel check.

<< Still on the lower end of the learning curve >>

AND the food chain...

He's operating on the "Can't catch a fish without throwin' a line in the water" principle.

GoYankees · May 19, 2005 12:37AM

I think I've seen this movie before,

Earnest Goes To eBay.

coinguy1 · May 19, 2005 12:45AM

Hey guys, maybe the seller is a scammer, perhaps he's a clueless adult or maybe he's just a kid.

Regardless, what's the point of making fun of him publicly? Why not do something constructive and help him get a clue instead?

Robgetty · May 19, 2005 1:21AM

Mark,

I agree that the forum is quick to bash, but unless the mint's "Golden Dollar" campaign has
gone to new levels, then this guy is out to lunch.

coinguy1 · May 19, 2005 1:26AM

Rob, he very well might be out to lunch.

But, if that's the case, perhaps some of our more informed posters could use their knowledge to help/straighten him out rather than ridiculing him and accomplishing nothing. The former doesn't really take any more time than the latter, even if it's not as much fun.

NumisMe · May 19, 2005 7:47AM

Come on Mark...Get REAL!

I started this thread because I wanted others to join me in my laughter.

This auction is an obvious PRANK!

Look at all the signs:

(1) The opening bid is about 20 times more than it should be
(2) The shipping charges are about 3 or 4 times what they should be
(3) The user just signed up and posted the auction on the same day
(4) The location is New Bern, NC (New BURN?)
(5) It is stated in the title that it is a PCGS MS67, yet in the description section, it's Condition is listed as Circulated
(6) Its material is listed as GOLD
(7) The phone number is listed in the auction
(8) The spelling and grammar are simply atrocious

But the give-away is...He can't spell CAMERA, but he can spell SACAGAWEA !!!

My intention was not to deride anyone. I just couldn't stop laughing, so I wanted to spread it around.

ursabear · May 19, 2005 7:59AM

Whew! It hurts even to read that auction.

Just remember: eye doughnut kneed dispel checker.

PerryHall · May 19, 2005 8:04AM

Darwin would have loved this guy.

streeter · May 19, 2005 8:06AM

Mark you are just too nice of a guy

Earnest is probably lurking. And busting a gut.

coinguy1 · May 19, 2005 8:12AM

Ernie, if that's the case, then I misunderstood your attitude and intent.

Of course, that was due in part, to your use of expressions such as "Give me a break" and "Where do these guys come from?" as opposed to your having indicated you thought it was actually funny.

And, it did appear to me as if others were "deriding" someone.

I've said my piece and am obviously in the minority here, so I'm done.

Edited to add:

#1: Happens frequently on Ebay and the sellers are not intentionally joking
#2: Same comment as above
#3: Well, he'd have to sign up before he could post the auction and wanting to sell is often the reason people do sign up.
#4: New Bern is a real town in N.C.
#5: Same comment as for #'s1 and 2
#6: A listing error by an Ebay seller - this does happen from time to time.
#7: Same comment as for #6
#8: Same comment as for #'s 1, 2 and 5. That (spelling and grammar are simply atrocious) also occurs on this forum quite often.

Original post by Ernie, sellers ID is 4368ernest. Could Ernie be Ernest and just jerking our chain for a laugh?

Just stirring the pot a little.

Funny auction regardless.

I love Cletus, and the Cletus song- "some folks'll never lose a toe, but then again, some folks'll, like Cletus, the slack-jawed yokel"......
