If this is a genuine coin, I have a hard time believing that the high bid of $560 would meet the reserve...

I spent several minutes comparing the photo to a genuine one. If nothing else, it gave me an excuse to look at mine. A couple things look different, but a lot also looks the same. Hard to say from a photograph.

I think it can be genuine. A genuine copy of a photo from somewhere else, that is.

Either the person selling the coin is a cheat, or they are inexperienced. The reserve does seem low, but on two different occasions i spoke with people selling 55 DD' and they both did so without a reserve because they felt the coin was so rare that they were going to get a fair price. There are tons of auctions on EBAY that throw in the titles of grading companies to get extra attention, but i was pretty sure that the EBAY policy on that was a no-no unless the coins are truly graded by said company. The feedback rating on the seller is 75% and their ranking is what, 2, 3? Certainly doesnt invite confidence.

That's it!!!!

Usually people scamming like this don't even bother setting a reserve. It costs more in eBay fees, and if you're selling vapor, why bother?

He lists his name, address and phone number in the auction. You should give him a call now that the reserve has been met

goose3 · November 11, 2005 5:17AM

I just sent an email to him with the link to coinfacts and asked him how he was selling That coin.

googled the phone number....comes back to a female with a completely different address. San Ysidro, CA 92173

What makes you think the guy is using his own bank account or credit card?

Great high bidder!

clw54 · November 11, 2005 8:41AM

<< Great high bidder! >>

Not high enough apparently. Amazing.

CoinOnTheCob · November 11, 2005 8:44AM

He says he doesn’t know how to get a coin graded but know exactly what it would grade?

coinnut86 · November 11, 2005 8:46AM

DID anyone report him yet? Maybe send in the original pic also?

coinguy1 · November 11, 2005 8:47AM

The high bidder now has a feedback score of zero, has been on ebay since 2003. I gotta start cutting coin pics from sites...................

Also, have a look at the user name of the bid retraction at the bottom of the bid page!!

Russ · November 12, 2005 5:12AM

Still not nuked by eBay.

LickThoseStamps · November 12, 2005 6:57AM

Who do you think will get NARU'D first; slimesmasher, this-auction-iza-scam or sellingbestgifts?

goose3 · November 12, 2005 6:59AM

the idiot actually wrote me backwhen I asked how he could sell the coin listed on coinfacts and provided him the link.....and says....I'll get you a pic of the reverse later today!

LOL

I'm going to email him the coinfact page and tell him "Don't bother"

clw54 · November 12, 2005 7:07AM

eBay sure removed that parrot auction a few weeks ago. They can act fast when they want to.

clw54 · November 13, 2005 8:34AM

The auction is still active and over 6K now.

lloydmincy · November 13, 2005 1:24PM

Ebay really cares, oh so much to stop these??? You guys must really be bored to even ASK THE GUY A QUESTION, OR EVEN BOTHER REPORTING TO e-BAY. And yes, in case you're wondering -I am bored because I am adding to this thread. Trying to fall asleep. BUT GO GET "EM GUYS!!!! MAKE ALL THE SCAMMERS STOP!!!!

Its fun to mess with these guys

clw54 · November 13, 2005 1:50PM

It's worth trying to stop one when we run across it.

markglicker · November 14, 2005 1:19PM

Auction over.

clw54 · November 14, 2005 1:24PM

Amazing. It's okay to swipe a photo from another site and claim it came out of a cookie jar.

relayer · November 15, 2005 8:25AM
