As much as I enjoy Ebay in a window shopper frame of mind, why in the heck do they allow copies in their coin and currency listings? Of course research your buys prior to the purchase, of course seriously doubt anything from China or Hong Kong but why am I being subjected to the Michael Jackson million dollar bill next to Ahmet Sandicki(spelling?) postings? Oh yeah , nothing against MJ, C'mon he made Thriller. Thanx just ranting...   08-05-2009, 09:33 AM   #2 (permalink) Cloudsweeper99 Treasure Hunter     Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 5,754 If more people stopped buying from Ebay, eventually they will improve it. As long as people use it, nothing will improve.   08-05-2009, 11:18 PM   #3 (permalink) ahearn Member     Join Date: Apr 2009 Location: Georgia USA Posts: 161 I have a more fundamental question. Why is there a market for copy coins? Who buys them? Why?   08-05-2009, 11:21 PM   #4 (permalink) danisanub Sales Associate     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Allentown, Pennsylvania Posts: 401 Exactly, it's extremely annoying. Another thing that gets me is when I search for silver or gold bullion, I get copy bars that are just plated. that's not what I asked for. no one ever bids on them either   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
