Hey, how did he know to do that? OK who told? I am starting to wanna bid myself, I like those J. F. Kenny coins and have several rolls stashed, mostly 64's, lots of proofs, used 1 as the belly button fixer, but none in slabs.

Not anymore. Omaha decided to shut down that track. Now there is a college campus there, along with dormitories. University of Nebraska at Omaha has really grown, but Omaha didn't get any smarter.

<< <i>It is a risk doing it without the coin in hand. I bought an ef45 1892-s morgan from someone on ebay and paid immediately. Little did I know, he didn't have it in hand yet, as he had bought it off the bay as well. Turns out, the coin was lost. He did refund my money. He then filed a postal claim because he never got the coin to get the insurance money. I was then contacted by the oiginal seller, who saw that he flipped the coin and thought he was trying to scam the post office and was ready to turn him into the feds. I straightened it out for him, but my seller never knew how much trouble he almost got in to, even though he technically was not trying to defraud anyone. >>
Just curious: How do you know that your seller actually never received the coin, and that you didn't actually assist him with the scam?
The one who won it from Russ for $180 is "Spec Ops" and the one who won it from him is "Army Ranger". Hate to say it, but that is a bit of a coincidence and almost looks like a shill
Though, it would be a pretty bad one to buy it for $19 less than what was paid to Russ and turn around and sell, again, for $5 less than what was paid to Russ.
This reminds me of that TV commercial where the guy wins an art piece at auction and then says "OK, I want to resell it now" to the same room full of people.
The other think that I find somewhat amusing is that no matter what the ebay question, one of the most popular answers is always "shill".

I don't normally like saying "shill"....in this case, if it isn't, then it is a HUGE coincidence, imho, to have a "Spec ops" and an "Army Ranger" pair of IDs involved in a quick flip.

I thought about that possibility. However, one of them is in Missouri, and the other is in Nebraska. Plus Army Ranger has been an eBay member for 9 years, while the guy who bought it from me is a relative newb. In addition, my buyer changed his handle to spec_ops1968 two days after the coin was purchased by Army Ranger. If it were a shill situation, I don't think he'd be making it that obvious.

Seller 1 (not my seller) thought there was a scam. He thought seller 2 (my seller) got the coin, then sold it to me. Then seller 2 got my money for the coin, then files for insurance as well from the deal with seller 1 that he never got. For this scam to work, he has to deliver a coin to me to get the money. No coin was delivered to me, so I got my money back. All I could and did tell seller 1 was that I never received the coin and got my money back. I could not comment on the whereabouts and delivery or nondelivery of said coin from seller 1 to 2, I only commented to seller 1 that seller 2 never sent me a coin and gave me my money back. I don't think this would in any way make me assisting someone with a scam.

I think it's just a freaky coincidence.

I recently sold an item to spec ops and he is a legitimate regular guy. I don't know about the army ranger guy though. In the auction above he lists his location as St Louis but if you look at his feedback as seller he has an item where he listed his location as Hondo, TX. That can't be good.

So, if he doesn't realize his expected profit and renegs on his payment to Russ, I can zap him and so can Russ!
I knew it would happen.
Russ, NCNE
Shillers delight..
I see a buyer getting burned with no coin in hand.
Oh I see chesapeakegallery will bid this just under the 180.00 mark........

Good to see he fessed up to Russ and responded quickly. Good luck to him.
Do like you did with me - insert the (nearly) naked lady picture.
It's already relisted by the guy who bought it.
And, the guy who bought it from me just received it yesterday.

Sweet. You can BIN it back for five bucks less than you sold it for.

What a wonderfully "fun" world
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
