    excellent. Now that your coins are on consignment, I plan a snipe to try to win one.

    Will the nickel go to ebay too?

    So where did the images originate from and more importantly have you reported this theft?
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Someone should ask him if he can delivery the coin to a police station after the auction.

    The seller must've got scared and closed them out. If eBay had shut them down, they'd be out of the database. Good work, folks -- one less scammer on eBay.

    None of my auctions have No reserve and they will always start at $.99

    I do understand that I am new to Ebay and I understand that most people are very weary of purchasing items from someone that is new. I have been collecting coins for over 20 years and have been selling and trading coins for about 10 years. I hope that you will take this in to consideration when you are thinking about bidding on my items. Everyone has to start somewhere...

    Good for you.

    No, if eBay had pulled it you'd get a no longer in database message.

    The only way that eBay would take a very dim view of those auctions is if the auction ended and the seller failed to pay his final value fees.

    Yeah, this one would likely get NARU'd for fee avoidance before being NARU'd for being a fraud.

    UPDATE: Here is the sellers answer to my question.

    I had asked the seller if the coin pictured was the coin that I would receive? He answered:

    This message was sent while the listing was active.
    kellyscoinsandcollectables is the seller.



    This is the coin that you would recieve.

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    If this is the case then TDN.... guess you'll have to ship the coin to whomever won? image

    This seller will be back soon, probably with another name and look to steal hard earned money from us sheep. Thanks to all those who help bust up sales like this one.
