Ebay Auction

I sent an offer in for 90$. He responds back to the effect of..."we dont sell 45$ coins, check the flea market."....I said do some research, thats exactly what you have, 45$ coins.

    WOW! It's not hard to look up the value for a certed coin, and I don't see the additional value in being a pair.

    You guys are just not right.........Um I'm sorry smack me a little, just looked at the auction...what the bleep is he smoking!! Just cause his story line is bought at different times and gets matching numbers does not make it more valuable to any one else who does not care if they were actually submitted by him together.

    Selling two of the same coin should make them more valuable?
    Maybe the guy's (presumably male) a bigamist!
    But $1000+?

    23 offers, and counting. The seller need do nothing, and they will all expire. But he will need to wade through them, in case. I'll bet next time he uses eBay's option to reject immediately any offer below a set minimum.

    In this case, $999 should be enough. image

    I canceled by Best Offer since I was tired of looking at the coins on my watch list. I would happily give $100 for both or $60 for one, but $1000......Just a blind pig looking for a acorn. How funny would it be if all 27 offers were to get canceled too.
