On ebay, # 320002300092. Fairtraderz has a set of PCGS Walker Half Dollars 1941 - 47 PCGS for $5,100. Please read the fine print before buying, S/H/I is $1,850.00. Maybe just a way to beat eBay out of some fees.
Heard back from seller, S/H/I is $18.50, they forgot about the decimal.

Certainly is well hidden. I do not know the value of the set. Is it worth $6950 or even $5100??. Maybe he made a mistake and it should be $18.50 ??
-S/H/I - $1850

And according to the listing they are PNG members too. With all that going for them... What's not to love?
<< <i>I'm guessing the S/H/I is actually $18.50 for registered mail. >>
Don't be so sure with these guys. Actual cost for Registered Mail is around $25 for $5k in coins, and I doubt if they have ever subsidized postage costs.

If you added up the PCGS price guide for MS65, it would be $ 5,705.00. Guess the $1245.00 is for overhead.
Of course he may be top notch with Laura, are you gonna tick off a big dealer or screw the little guy? In their case, the latter is a real possibility.
They actually are good guys. Make an honest market both ways.

I agree
<< <i>Has to be a mistake. Hopefully one of you fine board members has informed them of their ways. They will fix it! >>
I have sent a question to seller on eBay: Is S/H/I $1850.00 as stated? Haven't heard back yet.

John is a good guy. I've known him for years. Sat with him at many shows and looked through his boxes of franklins. Always fair prices at the shows, and slways friendly and conversational.

It was pretty obvious from the outset that this was going to be the case, but the current title grabs more readers and encourages more rancor.
The title should be edited:
Obvious typo in listing by Fairtraderz, nothing to see here, my bad
Now I have a legitimate question. Once a thread like this is resolved .... why doesn't PCGS or CU send a janitor in and clean out all the junk ? I mean, if it is determined that the post essentially holds no useful information and it was my house, I'd trash the whole thread. Does this place just let the millions of unwarranted postings sit there forever ?
I would like a show of hands of all CU forum members (collector, dealer, hybrid, whatever) who have never made an error at work.

<< <i>The real problem with a thread like this is that they come and go. A year from now, I might not remember what the problem was or how it was resolved, only that the dealer lynched here is a "bad dealer". Of course, in this case, there was another issue that involved this dealer that is still fairly fresh in the minds of most of us.

No, what you will probably remember are the threads about this seller when A) got NARU'd for shill bidding, tried to extort and additional $50 from someone after a sale was completed, and C) that this seller routinely asks other dealers to bid on his Ebay auctions for him.
Oh, the horror. Get a rope!
....u think 1000$ for a PCGS MS65 FBL 51-D Franklin is fair ???
<< <i>.....I DUNNO about fair ; he`s always overcharged me like the rest

If you paid it, you must have felt it was fair. Or did they twist your arm???

I dont see him as a rip-off if you buy off ebay he will let you pick up locally, no problem.

Interesting to see this thread "pop up" after two years, but I'll give my thoughts...
"Fairtraderz" is a good dealer to work with. They have my recommendation.

I've bought several PCGS slabbed Wheaties from Fairtraderz and S/H/I was $8.50/each.
The coins were shipped quickly and well packaged.
The prices were a little high but I'm happy with what I received and would recommend Fairtraderz.

So have I, seems to many people have too much time on their hands. As I always do if I see something that isn't right I will email the seller, if there was a mistake that kind of thing happens. Ebay cops who needs them.
