be quiet, susan... no one asked YOU for a link

Chrysta · August 17, 2002 3:51AM

My first post here, so if I mess anything up...sorry!

Interesting that the seller has 3 feedback, 2 are negatives, and the high bidder on this auction is one of those negatives.

Luvdawgs · August 17, 2002 3:53AM

You're just jealous, airplanenut, because I beat you to it!

Luvdawgs · August 17, 2002 3:54AM

Welcome to the forums, Chrysta

Hope you have fun here and enjoy! What do you collect?

That is a seller I would trust!!

Hmmm...Looks like a scan made from a photo of a coin. And a counterfeit one at that! Did the seller rip out a page from a book showing counterfeit dollars and scan it?

Looks to me like the high bidder is bidding only to sabotage the seller. He left negative feedback from a prior purchase not delivered upon and seems scorned. That is what I would do. The seller would have my high bids with no payment as long as I saw his stuff.

Funny!

Thanks! I collect a lot of everything! Lincoln cents by date/mm, Mercs by date/mm, U.S. type coins, Modern Commems, modern world coins, and anything else that I see and like.

My website
Hasn't been updated in a while, but here is some of what I have. Please excuse the pop-ups...we are on a budget here, and the site is free!

WWBillman · August 17, 2002 4:18AM

I have seen some bad feedback in my time but this is a first. -1, I did not even know your could get a less than 0 feedback rating.

coynclecter · August 17, 2002 4:26AM

Do you get a discount if you pay with small bills in a plain brown bag dropped off at the bus station??

zenny · August 17, 2002 4:29AM

the net negative rating is quite impressive.

also impressive is the new rarity classification "Utura rare." (not to be confused with "Uhura rare," which of course are coins that were once in the possession of actors who had roles on the Star Trek series.)

i believe Dorkkarl was suggesting a whole new lexicon in the "what do you call rare" thread that would remove the ambiguity from numismatic parlance. if you're out there D., what do you think about this.

hey, you're not this seller are you? trying to foist your "new" words on us through high falutin auctions such as this?

that Buyersdelite is one trusting soul.

Clankeye · August 17, 2002 4:38AM

I suppose now that NGC has started designating "Uhura Rare" on their slabs, PCGS will follow right behind.

Tonelover · August 17, 2002 4:42AM

I like this 1794 better:

And ur just rubbin' it in cus your mean... APOLOGY COIN!!!!!

wayneherndon · August 17, 2002 5:01AM

I too was wondering my this bidder would bid again so quickly after leaving the seller negative feedback. Then, I figured out that actually, the negative left by this bidder was in this auction. Look at the item numbers.

Rob0126 · August 17, 2002 5:03AM

$8000 at close!

For a -1 seller, and a photo that looks like a clipping out of the newspaper.

Am I missing something here?

The negative that buyersdelite left is for this particular auction. Notice that the item numbers are the same.

BBN · August 17, 2002 5:19AM

-1 rating how fantastic!!!!!!

cacheman · August 17, 2002 5:36AM

We have short memory's don't we? Buyersdelight turns around and sells this stuff on ebay to turn a quick profit, although I wonder how. A month or so ago the buyer became a topic of discussion here on the forum because he had, how shall i say, over emphasized the grade of the coin he was selling. A number of us here made comments and immediately received email nasty-grams calling us very bad names....remember? Anyway, the buyer is a voyeur/member here on the forum that doesn't cotton to anyone messing with his small scam niche.

I guess as long as the scammers are feeding off each other we should be safe for the time being. hmmm, maybe this is the REAL darkside!

JJacks · August 17, 2002 5:51AM

That sellers response to one of the negatives was funny.

Response by magical_xanadu - I was away for the entire time of the auction, and i don't have a home phone.

Just the kind of guy I want to deal with on ebay. Leaves when his auctions are running and never contacts the buyers!

Rob0126 · August 17, 2002 1:48PM

what just came to my attention is he has no home phone?!

What does he live out of, a shoe box?!

presleyh · August 17, 2002 11:41PM

this whole thing has got to be a joke aimed at ebay. the selling premium will be a couple of hundred bucks and i will bet a bunch that it never gets paid. the only two positives are by the same guy, probably a shill identity.

agentjim007 · August 18, 2002 12:10AM

the pos identity has to be a shill. his second pos states "test auction do not bid" yet the shill bid and received pos feedback. This is very funny because this guys clearly an idiot.

Macqui · August 18, 2002 2:40AM

Look at the scan of an EF Seated Liberty Dollar that was in the other auction that he gat negged on. The most amazing EF I have ever seen. What do you think it really is?
