    Check out this auction by a fellow CT member. He is hoping to educate eBay users regarding several of the tactics currently being used by scammers selling coins.

    eBay item 200202577337

    If it keeps one person from being ripped off on eBay I would say Clembo's time and expense has been worth it.

    Right on Clembo !!!

    We are seeing more and more of these " exposure " type auctions, and they are catching on quickly. The good guys are fighting back and will win if we keep it up !!

    Thanks Hobo for the heads up !!

    Thanks guys (especially Hobo).

    I haven't listed in a LONG time but found the time today to slap this one together.

    I have done these in the past few years actually and others, like Jack, have been doing so. I'll give an Indian away if a few people get the message.

    If anyone wants to "ask the seller a question" I'll gladly respond and include it in the auction. Once I figure out how to do that.

    Hey Clembo, I asked a question about the listing and it should ask you if you want to post it to your auction.
    Great auction by the way.

    Clem, question posted and bid placed. FYI, I will be out of town when it ends so if it does. I will pay for it when I get back. : )

    this happened to me... I dont know if you remember, but i posted a peace dollar before. The seller used the flash, and when i received the coin, it was VERY dirty.

    New Scam!

    Well,

    Since it now has 10 bids and up to $2.53 this will be my new scam. NOT!!!

    If it does go higher guess I'll be sending bonuses.

    Working on a new one that I hope to list a week from Saturday. Even dumber than this one - came to me like a vision believe me.

    For Umtrr. The hamster is responding well to treatment but the bills are getting outrageous! ;)

    Right on Clembo...glad to see it going well.

    I saw cardsfanpat lurking the othernight, but no posts yet.

    We'll take turns. You said Saturday your next one starts? If nobody else wants to , I'll go next, but will bow out so someone else can run with it if they so choose.

    Cardsfan has been trying to sign up but no luck. Think the server problem may have messed him up. We'll get him on here though.

    I'm most likely working this weekend so mine will hit in 10 days (if I have time). Your turn this weekend if you want. Gonna be hard to match Cardsfan though and he DOES plan to run more.
