I don't know how to to do the link thing, but check out ebay auction #270080226552.
It closes in about an hour and either the seller is legit and is going to have his ms 67 Saint ripped or he is the rippor and everybody knows it but the bidders. Or does anyone believe that a sniper will come through with a $7500 last minute bid. This will take more than one sniper to bring the final price up. Dave W.

Yeah, last feedback was for selling a sac dollar, and before that it was over four years ago.

looks perfect for a hijacked account.

edit--also has never sold a thing until that Sac dollar a few days ago.

PayPal is also not accepted.

On a related note, does PayPal buyer protection work with a hijacked seller account?

Even more interesting is that his feedback..has only EVER sold one item. The rest is all from sellers he bought from.

Nice coin though.

In and of itself, this doesn't bother me. I bought plenty but hadn't sold a thing on ebay until very recently. I think my feedback was well over 100 before I sold my first item.

With that said, I won't be a bidder on this coin. Too many other things are shining red flags in my eyes.

He's got a pricey Morgan set to go as well... 19 bidders.

Yikes, I'd be scared to bid on either.

Heritage 2005, this coin sold for $6,900

Rickyroooo · January 19, 2007 2:54AM

Funny thing is the high bid at this time is exactly the same for both coins......$2,025.00 coincidence? I think not

This is the same group of scammers that offered the NGC 64 1861 $5 recently, as discussed in this thread.

In both cases, a long-dormant (hijacked) seller has ONE recent feedback. In both cases, it was an excessive BIN hit by the same user, "mabney1a."

IF the buyer is "real," he will lose his money.

Well, alls well that ends well. Thanks to the info all you guys provided, I was able to alert the winning bidder. He checked out the account and sure enough it was a hijacked account. He thanked me but I informed him that credit also is due to those who validated my suspicions. Dave W

Dave, were You able to alert the high bidder of the other coin also? Rick

That $5 1861 Lib NGC64 scam was also tried mid-last year as well. The bid was so low I just figured it was a scam.
