Ebay buyers being satisfied really doesn't mean much, as long as they get cheap shipping they usually don't have a clue. My take on the story, it's ebay, enough said.
<< <i>Ebay buyers being satisfied really doesn't mean much... >>
I'd think the most important thing is what the buyer thought about the transaction. After all, it's his money. Easy to sit on the sidelines and snipe, though...
edited to add... what makes anyone think that the buyers of these rolls *haven't* considered the story presented, and acted accordingly?
Looks like a "roll your own coins" roller to me. Some of those civil war tokens look interesting on the ends of the roll--probably not much in the middle 48 coins. I am not a civil war token collector so I don't know. And No, i do not believe that any 1922 plains were found. As for the 1922 plain on the end of the roll (this one is up to $242 already)-There could be reverse or rim damage that cannot be seen till you open the roll. This seller is laughing all the way to the bank.
There is another Ebay seller that sell tons of coins that he rolled on his own- a good way to make a mint fast and legal. Put two good coins on the ends with a false promise that there may be something valuable in between when the seller knows damn well that there isn't anything there. BS listings in my book.

Yes. Sounds like he left himself feedback using an alt ID.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
From the description, Alot of the rolls have these tokens on one end.
This tells me I'll be receiving a randomly selected roll from his gpa's and gma's trunk from the attic. Not the roll pictured.
Edited to add; if these rolls were so great, why don't we see repeat buyers and a larger demand from several past and repeating bidders? IOW, I would want and bid more for these rolls if I was finding a few great coins at a fraction of their value.
The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
I tend to not bid on eBay auctions that use the g-word.

The listing doesn’t single out anything that “may” be contained in the grab bag that has particular monetary or obvious collectible value. For example, grab bag listings for collectible comic books can’t allude to the possibility that a specific rare, high value comic book “may” be included in the grab bag. This type of listing is considered a lottery, which is not allowed on eBay.

If you are a seller then you are quite correct, that's called Business 101. However a bunch of ebay buyers being satisfied means absolutely nothing to me as a buyer when determining whether or not to do business with someone. Now it is possible this is the one in a million genuine auction of this type with the wonderful story. However, by actual count and survey (that's a lie by the way) , 99.839% of these types of auctions are scams, and the sellers almost always have good feedback. These are the same clueless idiots that buy the "24kt gold layered whatevers" on TV as if they have any bullion value at all.
As he says the wrappers are String and Son. If you look at them you will see that the wrappers are what they sell on their site, today. So, Gram and Gramps did not roll them over the years but just happened to roll them just recently?
Naaaaah

So far, this seller has skated by without getting any red donuts, but they have plenty of feedback that indicates dissatisfaction. These "unsearched" roll sellers are usually able to get away with it for a while, but sooner or later the shoes start dropping.

And where do you get a rolling machine?

Hmmm. Knew enough to identify that as a Civil War Token.
I had no idea what it was.
Can you folks say scam? No guarantee's but I'd bet its filled with common date wheaties that a newbie "would" find positive.

This is self-selection at work.

What I want to see is a + feedback that says:
End coins were common-date wheat cents, and inside were 48 Civil War tokens!
What are the odds?

Feedback like that wouldn't be believable and would most likely come from a shill.
