Not me, but I would personally be reluctant as he/she has been non-existant on ebay for almost a year.

They bought on eBay for quite a while, then laid off, and now they are selling claiming to be selling their collection. Seems believable to me, and I don't see any coins that would be the type a scammer would list.

If you see something this seller has that you need, go for it. Just use a credit card with PayPal.

Hate to say it but that sure looks like a shill ID. Not been used for a while but when you look at the purchase history most of the feed back is from only two sellers.
As a seller has only made about fifty total sales but has a server that went down causing the one negitive?
Usless I really had a very good picture and knowledge of the item being sold I'd have to pass on this one.

I sure don't see any shill activity with these auctions.

tlhoy · May 29, 2005 3:03AM

Overall the guy looks alright to me. He's not a shill either.
Even the Neg. seemed to turn out well.

I just noticed that he was buying from one power seller a whole lot. But as I look at it more it actually looks like he/she is selling off a bunch of the SGS slabs that they probably got from there. So it probaly is not a shill maybe just a collector like me that buys more that they sell.
And most of the stuff they are selling are slabs. You have been around long enouph to know what they are worth. There are PCGS, NTC,SEGS, and what looks like home made there plus a few RAW coins.

Exactly. And look at all the feedback from centsles, that is where the NTC slabs most likely came from.

When they were active, they purchased a lot from abon and centsles. Now they're selling the type of material that those two sellers offer. Seems fine to me. I feel sorry for this seller as they're likely going to lose a nice chunk of change as they sell their collection.

Keep in mind that most of his feedback has come from the same 3 or 4 sellers.

I'll keep my opinion of those particular sellers to myself.

Not necessarily a bad thing. Take a look at MY FEEDBACK. Despite showing very little activity, I actually visit ebay several times per weak, plus I've picked up many items by contacting the seller after an auction has ended without having any bids.

100% on the money IMHO.

It just so happens I've been keeping a data base on one of those sellers since June 2000. Looking at what the seller paid on some of these coins, they're going to take a bath.

Shamika · May 29, 2005 4:32AM

"It just so happens I've been keeping a data base on one of those sellers since June 2000."
Is it the one that use to sell a lot of ACG crap?

Yes, and I have every auction he's listed since June of 2000, along with his bid history.

I still have a POS coin I won from one of his auctions years ago. NEVER AGAIN!

He started out selling overgraded, problem raw coins. His sales on eBay took a nosedive, as well as the others in their little network who sold the same junk. In mid 2000 they all started using the now infamous grading company and shilled each other's auctions. This continued into early 2002 until the word got out about the coins in the infamous grader's holders. They then switched to NTC and are still bidding up each other's auctions, but finally got wise and created alternate accounts for the shill activity.
