What a crock!!!!

I hope Ebay get's sued one of these day for continuing to allow chinese scams. They should just ban all of China and Taiwan.

Another Chinese Scam........This time in a PCGS slab.

JJM · January 10, 2007 6:30AM

man , they have a bunch , in OGH's too !!!!

Russ · January 10, 2007 6:31AM

He has a bunch of early dollars listed. The images are very consistent, as if they were all shot by the same person.

More reason why a newb like myself avoids ebay.

notwilight · January 10, 2007 6:35AM

Let's see. Perfect feedback. good picture of a slabbed coin. You're basing your belief that it's a scam simply on the location of the seller. That's the good ol' American spirit. But don't tell the lady on the Platinum Eagles.

Now you may be right...but that doesn't justify the means of your conclusion.

Barbercoin · January 10, 2007 6:36AM

I never even look at the coins offered from China. Just asking for trouble.

Their economy thrives on stuff like this. Take the "illegal copying and selling sofware" issue as an example.

You're kidding, right?

The seller might have "perfect" feedback, but most of it is a sham and he's never sold anything worth more than a few bucks. These listings scream scam.

Yeah, some dude in China just happens to have about 70 grand in early dollars lying about. I'll buy that.............hahahhaahahah.

Believe it or not, shipping from some countries can be remarkably cheap. In the amateur radio world, European stuff is often shipped from Slovakia for that reason.

So you want ebay to start cancelling auctions just because they look suspicious? That would eventually get them sued. I agree with you it is likely a scam. I wouldn't bid on it. Nobody else is bidding on it. The consensus is that it isn't a good auction but I hope they require more than just a bad feeling or a location to cancel an auction. A bid feeling is adequate for me to decide not to bid.

You tell me which ebay rule there is clear evidence that this auction violates?

Huh? His auctions are up to several thousand dollars so far.

<< You tell me which ebay rule there is clear evidence that this auction violates? >>

Gee, I don't know. How about selling items that he doesn't own?

pbfloyd · January 10, 2007 8:07AM

Check his other auctions for the stronger money now being put on some of these items STOLEN IMAGES that slothman2000 traced down to Heritage Auctions.

We've all run into these scum from China and got a few of the douchebags NARU'd but not after good people got screwed out of their hard earned money.

slothman2000 · January 10, 2007 8:17AM

here is another....could be this person was the "bidder on the floor" during the live auction....another hert. auction

Not to worry. A little birdie has informed me that no real bidders are going to get burned.

Russ, NCNE

messydesk · January 10, 2007 8:21AM

OK, so the images are obviously stolen. Has anyone reported it to eBay with only 3 hours left in the auction? I'd think it could also somehow be reported to PayPal that there are a bunch of bogus auctions about to go down and they could block payment.

I'll bet that "i-like-rare-coins" coinguy is going to win another one! Dang, he is tough to beat in a bidding war on rare coins out of China!

I sent a eBay PM to Heritage Auctions before posting originally. They have more clout because it's their stolen images.

Bear · January 10, 2007 8:55AM

As a pharmacist, after a number of years in the bussiness,

you could spot a phony prescription. Even if everything was

correct, something always gave it away. I believe the same thing

happens with an experienced E-Bayer. Something always gives the con away.

Perhaps its a 6th sense, when the brain registers something thats just not quite right.

RichieURich · January 10, 2007 8:59AM

Such as legible handwriting?

MAD4MORGANS · January 10, 2007 9:08AM

Only one bidder on the Heritage coin and it sold for $1-??

End of Auction-Heritage PCGS Coin

Maybe they should take some advertising hints from the Chinese guy.

I'm thinkin' it was more the type of drug than the legibility of the penmanship.

Same scammer with a different eBay handle. The images are on the same server.

acsb · January 10, 2007 10:21AM

While it's pretty obvious where this coin came from, I do have a question about the feedback. I _think_ that the `?`'s are just due to the feedback being in a pictogram character set or something of that nature.

Anyone know for sure?

WinPitcher · January 10, 2007 10:24AM

The question marks are because it was an ebay in china auction and ebay does not translate it for us here.
