Is this ebay dealer for real? Stunning coins

Who is this guy? Zero feedback. Has 60 auctions going, many for six digits.

Anyone know more? Just curious, really. Not about to buy anything from him.

I hope I didn't miss an earlier thread about this. If so, sorry.
Lance.

    That looks like Steve Contursi's company. So yes, he's for real.

    Ohhh...so it's just about cheap advertising? I can't imagine much ebay business at these prices.

    I believe that you're correct. image He doesn't even have the grading companies included in the listing titles.

    Well , Lance... in a world of major expense for advertising, it's understandable to use eBay for what it is: a cheap advertiser. I'll bet you could increase membership in your sideline really easy with their format. This is just my opinion and maybe I shouldn't discuss it publicly, but I'm just saying , "food for thought", brother.

    I am amazed at what you've built, actually. You're "on track" man.

  • I don't see a problem with it, I've bought many expensive coins from him.

    That company is most likely Steve Contursi's company. If so they're legit.

  • I think you should ask about a coin, and say you are only interested if he sends it for CAC approval.

    Ha. I'll have to give that some thought, Joe. You may be onto something. Thanks for the idea, bro!

    With a store format it only cost a dime to list his most expensive coin for a month. At least that is what Turbo Lister just told me.

  • I'm going to bid on this one. I think it will cross at 58.

    Why are your coins in an NGC Registry?? Probably because it's a personal choice like it's his personal choice.
