Somebody Help This Poor Guy Out! Warning: eBay Listing

What does his description say? Not enough in the title to figure out why the person is trying to sell it for that much.

 

There is no reason. The seller is just trying to get rich quick. I normally pass over this nonsense as they are a dime a dozen on eBay. The title just stuck my funny bone. First, this is Eisenhower on the dollar coin. It is not a half dollar, and Roosevelt was never on a half dollar. The only president on a half dollar is John F Kennedy. Before that we had Benjamin Franklin, who was not a president. The seller listed this as a Roosevelt half dollar. He/she could use a history lesson. The two presidents look very different.

 

Roosevelt (dime)
(Half dollar) Kennedy
Ike (One Dollar)

 

You sure it's not a listing for 420? Marijuana? Large dime bag?
I know nothing on the subject.

I forwarded your comment to the seller and added mine it won't help if you look at the rest of their listings

Roosevelt (dime)
(Half dollar) Kennedy
Ike (One Dollar)
Coin books are a written form of education.

 

Here is the description from the sellers listing.

This 1974 Roosevelt half dollar coin is a must-have for any coin collector. The coin features the iconic Kennedy design and was minted in Denver in the United States. The coin is in uncirculated condition and is perfect for adding to your collection. The 50C denomination makes it a unique addition to any coin collection. This coin is perfect for those who are looking for a unique and rare find.

I hate AI descriptions. They tell you NOTHING. I will admit that the Roosevelt half with an iconic Kennedy design sounds intriguing. Does that mean Kennedy designed this coin? The conspiracy grows....

 

He has others just as bad..


This 1976 D Bicentennial Quarter is a great addition to any coin collection. Featuring the image of George Washington on the face and the patriotic drummer boy on the reverse, this coin celebrates the 200th anniversary of the United States. Minted in Denver, this quarter is in uncirculated condition and has not been certified. A perfect piece for any collector or history buff.



I laugh when they call it a Drummer Boy

 

The sad thing is some smuck will buy one of their coins and think they did well! The problem is eBay! They let this dishonesty run freely on their site and don’t care. They get paid when you list and again when you sell! Win win! For evil bay! On the other hand, I feel bad for the honest sellers who aren’t running a rip u off sale!

 

Poor ike,all of them would be horrified in this future for being used as a gullible money laundering scheme by crackheads.

 

All it would take is a panel of a few folks working for evil bay to oversee the listings and either allow honest offerings or disqualifications to those who play dirty! There are plenty of people who could use a bit of truth jammed in their face! But again, greed wins the day!

 

I don't blame eBay, a person could just as well use a different platform.
A person that puts a classified ad for an item at 4x what it's worth is the same... someone can ask what they want for THEIR item.
Now counterfeit items , ya eBay should do something about that.

 

I listed some 45acp clean reloadable brass and eBay kicked it off siting NO firearm related items...at the same time there is a listing for 250 live rounds of 45acp Remington ammo.
Go figure

 

Big business! Greedy business! The only time they make sense is when they’re in charge and the little guy does what he’s told! Corporate America at its worst! Are there rules regarding reloadable ammo?

 

rte, when the red book say a coin is worth $100 bucks in a certain grade and you see an ungraded raw coin with mung, scratches, dings, and dents, starting at $1000+, doesn’t it bother you that you’ve wasted your time looking at some clowns listing? Sure, eBay gets their cut up front and the seller wastes their money paying eBay charges but that makes it a suckers game and a really bad place to waste time. I don’t mind paying a reasonable amount but tap me on the shoulder when you plan on sticking it in! A little honesty would go a long way.

 

I'm not RTE, but no, it doesn't bother me a bit. I daresay that you wasted a whole lot more time posting this thread than you did looking at his listing--Ebay lists his asking price on the search screen so there is no reason to look at his page at all if he is asking more than you feel it is worth.

 

lol, thank God I type fast!

My son bought a "gold" coin from China against my advice, although he is in his 40s. A XRF shot showed it was only surface gold plating. eBay arranged for return of
the money with only postage to return the coin as a loss. So no big deal.

It is similar to those who find a marital mate available on the internet and believes all text and even the photograph. Being suckered for a coin is much less of a problem than most of life.

 

man, you can say that again! Thing is, our simple enjoyment of a simple hobby shouldn’t be stressful or a worry either! . Nobody likes being robbed by a few bad apples that could be policed with a few simple rules!

 

Amen brother, Amen!
