    i have personally bought some proof jeffersons from them a few years ago. paid starting price on about a dozen or so i needed. i didnt have an issue with them and it was fast shipping if i remember correctly. i know the other stuff is simply a gimmic but the seperate proof coins sell pretty low from this seller

    Anyone can sue anyone else for any reason at any time. Can they win their lawsuit? Maybe. Maybe not. If your pockets are deep enough, even the threat of a lawsuit can bring the result you want.

    True, Rick. I guess what I meant is nobody has been successfully sued over an Ebay feedback yet. There are stories, but none of them are true.

    And, FWIW, the suer can lose if the suee has the guts to fight back. Just ask the ASPCA. They sued Ringling Brothers and wound up having to pay Ringling $9.3 M.

    I'm not sure I see what you're getting at. Are you saying that this seller isn't trying to deceive naive buyers? Or are you saying that you don't think anybody should call out deceptive sellers?

    I'm saying that I don't think the seller is breaking any rules and that the OP already started a thread about this seller last year. Personally, I think all these threads about E-Bay sellers are nonsense.

    Agreed. If collectors are worried about dishonest sellers on ebay, then there are hundreds of other more reputable sellers to chose from on the same site.

    Without a doubt and you don't even have to remove the one, they pop up quicker than they disappear.

    The plot thickens.....

    I noticed they use the same pic for every auction of a certain setup. One picture was "featured" in over 12 auctions.

    Even better, if you look it says "25 in each roll".

    So not only are they using stock photos for each "unsearched roll", they are cutting the rolls and half and making half rolls.

    I sent them an email, expressing my "concern".
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    I noticed you are using the same photo for different auctions. I saw this pic on over 12 auctions. I take it that if I bid on one of these rolls, the coins shown on the end are not the ones I will be getting?


    Also, you state these are 25 coin rolls. Who makes 25 coin rolls? Every bank and store I've seen uses 50 coin rolls. Wouldn't you have to cut the roll in half?


    You also state these are wheat penny rolls, how do you know? What if it's filled with Indian cents or seated dimes? If you list every roll as a wheat penny roll, then I take you do know what's in them?


    These rolls look pretty new, wouldn't a roll of wheat cents from out of the 50's be really yellow? These are coin-tainer rolls, I don't think they started making rolls until the late 70's.


    Also, taking a little peek at your buying feedback, I sure do see a lot of purchases for old cigar boxes, and then I see you listing old cigar boxes full of old coins that were "found" somewhere. That seems kind of odd, don't it?
    -------------------

    I can't wait to see what they will say.

    Detecto, you're too funny! A one man vendetta against all that is wrong with eBay.

    I'll never understand why folks join this hobby to have fun, but spend so much time with the negative side of things. I guess the older you get, the more tolerate you become.

    Tim, you seem to be spending an awful lot on coins lately. Have you found a job?

    J/K, but you are correct.

    I should have read this post before I purchased from him. However, I got 10 Ancient Coins, but I did buy Clad Quarters where there were mixed 2013 coins in there also. How can an unserached roll have 2013 quarters????

    Oh BTW, I did get a partial refund on the quarters.

    FWIW, with Lincoln Cents, collectors in the past have used 25 Cent rolls. Also, back in the day, some Casino's distributed them. To my knowledge, banks have never used them, but unless the seller said they were OBW rolls, then there's absolutely nothing inherently wrong with 25 Cent rolls.

    Yes, banks used them also, but that was back in ancient times (1950's). However, they were few and far between at least since I have been around.
