eBay laugh of the day thread.

Wasn't that a great read?

Just finished the read, it was worth the 10 minutes it took to read all the comments.

 

This one is odd:

Anyone got any guesses what what this guy is selling?

 

You'd be amazed at how many of these will sell eventually too..

 

what kills me is he's got 2 bids-so far!

 

Did you see his other items for sale ?

If those aren't chinese copies, I'll eat my hat...

 

I might buy one for a dollar just to find out... Interesting all his other stuff is fishing related...

 

It's been a while since I've seen so much fail in one auction. Not only is it PCGS and CAC, it's brand name APMEX! The image shows an 1881 that is certainly not MS66, and the item info shows 1881, but the auction text says 1921.

But who knows, maybe it is actually a PCGS MS66 with a CAC bean and an APMEX sticker to boot, because the fine print says "Mint and strike marks may vary from stock photos."

I think what sums it up best is this gem from the description: "...this silver dollar is a rare collecible." But I think he meant to say" "This silver dollar is rarely collectible." :too-funny:


Thanks for a good laugh geekpryde!

ETA: How is this auction still active?

 

That's a good question, as all his coin auctions are in violation of eBay policy (regarding showing both obverse and reverse). Interesting that he has the Morgan dollar listed in two categories, one being Washington quarters. As stated, it could be a hacked account (the seller hasn't had any activity in two years), or maybe it's just another dumb listing, worthy of a place in this thread.

 

I have not seen them take any action yet today. To make matters worse, lately they have been taking a lot of Fridays off and every weekend off.

 

So, place a bid of $100 or so. If you get the pictured coin, file SNAD, since it's obviously not PCGS or CAC. If the title is right and the photo is wrong, you've got a steal.

Doesn't look like a hacked account to me (still selling fishing gear as well), just someone who's really clueless about coins.

 

Well, that was ended and replaced... he added ".999 silver", lol.

While browsing through the listings this morning (checking photo sizes to meet the new requirements), this title caught my eye:

Roosevelt, eisenhower, what's the diff? Or are you complaining about no reverse photo

 

Not really that funny, someone should flag that item. I don't see any provision on the page to do so. How would one go about this?
