Check this one out: https://www.ebay.com/itm/384631132114?hash=item598dcd4fd2:g:9xcAAOSwSLlhxipf same seller
Or this: 1930 BUFFALO NICKEL...............MIN. BID .01 & NO RESERVE! US $676.00 https://www.ebay.com/itm/384636690060?hash=item598e221e8c:g:umUAAOSwYbJhyQMz For a fifty cent coin?
Not my forte, but that's seems a good possibility, need a lot of volume though I'd think to really make it worthwhile.
Something must of changed, because the Buffalo nickel is the only one over the top. How much were the other two auctions fetching?
Hypothetically of course, I would think with money laundering there's no need to ever deliver an actual item, just an auction record and a record of "payment" for same to launder / legalize the illegal money. From Wired - 1. Fake ebooks and overpriced eBay listings are fronts for digital money laundering The proceeds of crime are increasingly laundered online, using methods ranging from improbably expensive ebooks and eBay listings to cryptocurrencies such as ZCash and thousands of micropayments through online transaction systems (The Guardian). Research indicates that around $200 billion is laundered online every year, of a worldwide money laundering total estimated by the UN to be in the region of $2 trillion. Other 'cyberlaundering' tactics for erasing the criminal origins of money include using Uber to book "ghost journeys", booking Airbnb rooms that will never be used and buying and selling expensive, tradeable items in games including FIFA and CounterStrike. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/wired-awake-180518
The large cents were originally around $600+ with an hour left and the other items were similar,something happened now.
Yes something happened because as you said the bid was over $600, but when you look at the bid history now that it's over, it shows 0 bid retractions. So where did that $600 bid go?
