Hilarious listing, at least its truthful. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CRISPINA-AV...467?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c413a65c3
Love the honesty! You can't say you didn't know what you were getting if you're the high bidder. Bruce
I can respect any seller with the handle "cheap coins". You know right up front what you're getting into.
Whenever I see an interesting coin from a source that is new to me, I look up what else they have for sale and what they have sold recently. In the case of eBay, this last means to see their feedback received recently enough that there still is a photo of the item online. What I see here are quite a few coins that are not really cheap but received a lot of bids ending up at or above what I might consider a 'normal' price. We regularly hear complaints from sellers who say that their coins do not bring good prices but we rarely hear a complaint when a lot has 24 bids. What I saw did not include coins I feel I have to add to my collection but the only potential negative I saw was the item location listed as United States but the grammar is ESL and quoted numbers all given as if the seller is European (1.500 $ rather than $1,500). If any of you decide to buy Crispina, I would love to hear if the package comes with US postage. I have to agree. The write ups for his coins make the seller seem like the kind of guy we would like to have join us on CT. If you did not read the entire Crispina write-up check the part that starts: "Condition : Well we should create a new category for beat up coins )" I so, so very much agree but I have not been able to confirm the usage of the word he proposes.
well, that was fun to read. i was also interested in his grading term....it worked on "Google translate" when it went english to latin, by when i type it in to as latin, for english i got "tracking" .
