    go to their feedback, it'll show feedback as seller and feedback as buyer. Then click on their item purchased.

    I believe EBay did, as I was on their earlier today and saw it with my "question" to the seller, and his stock answer. The bidding had gone up also from 12 bids to 13 at that time, so I "knew" he (the seller) really had no intention of taking his item down, or he would have done that much earlier (as an honest seller on ebay before, I had the unfortunate experience of having other members tell me my item (twice) was not what I was saying and I either corrected it or took it down. The one time I had an issue with someone who informed me on that, and I left it up, EBay took it down. I ate the losses on all three items, but it taught me to be more careful when describing an item.)

    Plus after looking at the fact that he would purchase replicas, describe his item as a Seated Liberty (someone who doesn't know coins, and doesn't look up enough info to make the item's description probably wouldn't even know to call it that. They would list as OLD Coin, Great for it's age or something like that, and then to pawn any problems off as "I don't know coins" is, in essence, putting the onus on the bidder/buyer for what is the seller's responsibility.) I know from when I started selling first editions, I made the mistake of putting the words "fine for it's age" and being called out by a buyer who when he got it found out it was not "Fine" as in condition, which is a knowledge point for buyers and sellers of old or rare books.

    Anyways, I do believe Ebay finally responded to the (at least) 2 complaints it got on this item. But watch for him to put it in a lot or something in order to get it sold.:(

    Also, once you get that info, go to "bidder" and then when it brings up the list of (hidden) bidders, click on the high bidders name and it will give you a 30 day bidder history. In the case of our bidder/seller, of the 32 items he/she bid on, 30 of them were in the coins and paper money section. So someone who doesn't know coins is actively looking at buying the same, and has an interest in reproductions as well. Very Interesting.

    Update: looked further at the seller, his only two buying history of ebay was the one item already described. So it may be a recent "interest" of this guy. He/she has mixed other things for sale. And can only access the last 2 items he/she bought. So no real results there.

    eBay took it down. If the seller had taken it down, the listing would still be there only listed as closed.

    Betcha the guy got his supply here:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/9-Morgan-CC...31?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item5645d6074b

    Look at the dates !!!

    I'm actually buying some replica Morgans from this guy to see exactly how good they are. I want to know what a real fake looks like so that I can better recognize them in the future. As soon as I examine and photograph them, I'll destroy them because I don't want them to ever end up on the market as real coins. Should be very educational. I'll post my findings here on the forum.
