Heads up on an eBay coin that you won't get if you win it.

The images in this listing were stolen from one of my auctions.

I've already reported him and sent him an appropriately worded eMail.

That's strange. Hijacked account? Has other (non-coin) auctions going which seem to match the stuff sold in the past. I noticed every coin auction says "Please check out my other auctions" but none of the non-coin auctions say that.

mojoman · February 17, 2006 6:29AM

hijacked photos seem to be on the rise,It happened to Boom not that long ago,Also I think another member or 2?this has happened to ,WHAT TO DO?report them,then they come back under another name...Ebay needs to get there heads out of there .................paper work and start helping the sellers and Buyers with the problems ,I am still waiting for a reply from them on a non paying bidder...2 weeks now with a few reminders, OH YEAH BTW Nice coin

Where has 'Scumnuker' been hiding? I haven't seen him in a Loooong time.

Is he part of the posse now and has no time for ebay anymore???

It is also interesting that the pic has the little camera on it that shows up when you want to copy and image off of the web using internet explorer.

seateddime · February 17, 2006 7:17AM

what kind of an idiot puts that up (the picture)?

kiyote · February 17, 2006 7:18AM

VERY sharp nickel... low opening bid, too.

Quote from edited auction:

<< <i>** Please note pictures about are not taken by me. I borrowed these pictures and was going to replace them with my own. Now that I have a bid I CAN NOT delete these 2 pictures. I am adding a new picture that came from my camera. ** Sorry for any inconvience! >>

You should look at the POS photo that has been added to the auction!!

Russ · February 17, 2006 9:31AM

Yeah, I just saw that.

This seller responded to my eMail and asked for advice on shooting coin images. I'm not feeling inclined to help them.

Russ, NCNE

Rusty4768 · February 17, 2006 9:36AM

but wouldnt the customer know when they didnt receive the item??

Can you post, here, what you said in the "appropriately worded email"?

GoYankees · February 17, 2006 10:20AM

My blocked bidder list keeps on growing and growing and growing...

Good catch Russ!

Myqqy · February 17, 2006 10:49AM

You're an absolute turd if you end up "borrowing" images of another coin to sell your own crap.....

JoshL · February 17, 2006 11:35AM

Read what it says now

On Feb-17-06 at 15:54:40 PST, seller added the following information:

** Please note pictures about are not taken by me. I borrowed these pictures and was going to replace them with my own. Now that I have a bid I CAN NOT delete these 2 pictures. I am adding a new picture that came from my camera. ** Sorry for any inconvience!

JoshL · February 17, 2006 11:36AM

The new photo

JoshL · February 17, 2006 11:45AM

lol

mnmcoin · February 17, 2006 12:17PM

Yes indeed, but after all...

Russ, If you didnt have such nice coins

and take such nice pictures, folks would

feel the need to steal your pictures.

kiyote · February 17, 2006 12:57PM

I bid 'cause I like gettin' into mischief... I could leave super negative feedback if I win!

BrokenArrow · February 17, 2006 1:49PM

Hey Russ if you don't like people borrowing your pics, can you delete yours so people can't steal them? Just a thought, I don't see what the big stink is, if a fool is to bid on a auction with the seller having that many negs, they must be Douce Bags, let the buyer get whats coming to em.

You have to be joking! If your house gets broken into, it is your fault because you had nice stuff there? Talk about victimizing the victim twice. Just because Russ leaves his pictures for people to view and compare doesn't give anyone the right to just take them with out asking permission.

As far as "let the buyer get whats coming to em", I hope members look out for you the same way.

This is to numismatics what Milli Vanilli is to music

but I liked that one song.....

Girl you know it's true.... oooh ooooh oooooh

kiyote · February 17, 2006 5:46PM

Right-click save as takes only like 5 seconds!

So bidders would see red x's instead of coin pics in my auction? Yeah, that makes sense.
