Ebay auction for 22-D Peace dollar in Ngc 67.

Ebay auction

Same person has a 79 CC dollar in 64 listed

DennisH · September 27, 2005 6:52AM

Nice obverse die crack on that coin.

Why did I smell fish when I was looking at that auction?

chabot510 · September 27, 2005 6:52AM

her feedback is for cds adn dvds. id stay away, i smell a hijack

coinguy1 · September 27, 2005 6:58AM

It's either a hijacked account or a situation where a scammer has provided a legitimate seller with images (and no coin) and asked that the item be sold on his/her behalf, with the promise of compensation.

ziggy29 · September 27, 2005 7:03AM

Wire transfer + private bidders = I'm getting nowhere NEAR this one.

ebaytrader · September 27, 2005 7:03AM

Smells like a hijacked account.

Stuart · September 27, 2005 7:06AM

Does anyone else suspect that perhaps the label info on the coin was Photoshop cut & pasted onto a less than MS-67 grade Peace Dollar??

Russ · September 27, 2005 7:06AM

Sure looks like a hijacked account to me.

This looks like the same type of auction that I was ripped off on they have been reported for whatever good that does

you would think that e-bay would try to set this person up to catch them but they will probly just end the auction whatacreep

<< <i>The seller, groovygirl0137, assumes full responsibility for the content of this listing and the item offered. >>

Sounds like a set up to both buyer and seller

Fletcher · September 27, 2005 7:21AM

WELL ... I'll let you know. I won the 79-CC for $5k and I live in Alameda, where the coin is supposedly located. So, it will be a cash deal and they will need to have the coin in hand!!! If it is for real, it is a great rip and I'll post pictures. If it is a scam, nothing lost. Wish me luck :-)

If one of you guys want to bid on the other coin, I'll be happy to play middle man for you. Just let me know!

TorinoCobra71 · September 27, 2005 7:24AM

HIJACKED ACCOUNT........stay away...........

chabot510 · September 27, 2005 7:28AM

fletcher have u contacted the seller about the cash deal?

Scavenger · September 27, 2005 7:28AM

Fletcher,
Be very careful about meeting this person somewhere with cash, that could be the plan all along.

Fletcher · September 27, 2005 7:44AM

No problem, I'll meet him at a restaurant ... don't worry, I'm scrappy! Thanks for the concern

coinguy1 · September 27, 2005 7:45AM

I predict there will be no meeting.

Russ · September 27, 2005 7:48AM

<< <i>I predict there will be no meeting. >>

Are you sure you want to go out on a limb like that?

Russ, NCNE

coinguy1 · September 27, 2005 7:50AM

Sorry, I'm afraid to answer that question.

Fletcher · September 27, 2005 8:10AM

Just remember which side to saw when out on a limb.

librtyhead · September 27, 2005 8:17AM

Damn!!!!!!!!! I wish someone would run a scam like that in my town. I have mucho grande pent up hatred for scammers.

dwssws · September 27, 2005 8:19AM

Fletcher, just remember don't bring a knife to a gunfight

Not quite the same scenario but when I lived in Vegas left the Sands casino to go get the car ( with a pocketful of winnings) was followed out, guy pulled a knife wanting the money, I refused, fight ensued I was stabbed. The problem was he didn't realize I was gambling with two off duty Las Vegas Policeman who were right behind me. To make story short I ended up with 140 stitches, he went to the MORGUE

Fletcher · September 27, 2005 1:13PM

DAMN ... I'll try to be safe. Did someone else here win the Peace dollar??? If so, let me know!

Fletcher · September 27, 2005 1:22PM

I emailed the seller that I live on their island and would like to meet them and pay cash. Here is their response:

"Great,i`am out of town on buisness trip in Calgary i`ll be back by fridays morning.Provide me with your
telephone nubmer."

So far so good ... although the English is a tad pigeon, we'll see ... I'll keep you updated.

In addition, I told him that I would be interested in buying any other coins that he had to sell

zkcoins · September 27, 2005 6:44PM
