These have to be fakes, correct ?

I'm no expert, the coins look pretty good. But very suspicious.

They are bogus.

 

Not with a 10 foot pole.

 

So, this makes me think...should we all order as many of these as we can and then turn them in to e-bay as fakes?

 

What do you honestly think eBay would do about it if we did?

 

I think e-bay would refund the money and we could keep the coins and deface them so as to take a lot of fakes out of the marketplace and hurt the guys who are selling them

 

It's an idea, then.

 

So Faked that they SCREAM FAKE!

 

Yeah, but which is your favorite?

 

The 41 pcs of fabulous fakes for under $300. Talk about a deal , a package deal screw job! How can you just say no?

 

They all have "Best Offer", should we try $1.00 ?

Great pattern!


....of a counterfeit :-D

 

yup, that's the one that caught my eye

 

Did he just put a 'hex' on you? Not to worry. He's not from New Orleans or Haiti........

 

He doesn't realize I already regret using eBay in the first place. But maybe he'll steal all the absolutely nothing of real value I own, or hack into the money that's not in my bank account.

What am I saying. Things can clearly always get worse than they already are. Maybe I should send him some fake flowers.

 

It's an idea, yes, but one that very well could cause more harm than good when announcing it to anyone who may stumble upon this (or any) thread. Each and every time we remind people of ebay's ridiculous policy of sometimes allowing buyers, be them genuinely knowledge or complete morons, to keep coins they claim are counterfeits, what message is being sent to the many scumbag buyers out there? Not only that, but does anyone happen to remember a thread from maybe two years ago in which one of our lovely self-proclaimed "experts" deemed fake a perfectly legitimate Trade dollar? Does anyone remember how the (also a member) buyer was seriously considering trying to keep it based upon said policy? Had said individual gone through with this, for all sense and purposes it would have been tantamount to stealing.... is this what we really want be promoting on this forum?

eBay most certainly needs to do more about the counterfeit problem, yes, but that doesn't mean we need to keep showing lowlifes a way to possibly screw over and steal from honest and innocent sellers. Sure, removing a couple fakes is certainly a good thing, but is like using a thimble to drain an ocean; it isn't going to make the slightest difference when looking at the big picture. That said, I realize no harm was intended, but still... please think about it.

 

This is akin to taking a trip to the local ghetto corner to tell the dude selling rock that you've a problem with it and expecting him to stop, especially if he knows the cops aren't going to do much of anything about it. Even though your heart is in the right place, the chances of changing anything are, to put it nicely, slim to none.

 

Those are so fake they don't even resemble the original design. If you really have to ask about those, I suggest you buy or read a Redbook.

 

If you're seein' a Hawaiian for $19, could it be that the deal is too good to be true? Cripes, you'd have to be an idiot, or a wide eyed, wet behind the ears, blind follower, newbe........
