I am currently the high bidder. I think I got carried away. hope someone outbids me today. http://www.ebay.com/itm/130942715480?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1431.l2649
The seller has a feedback of zero and the pictures are stolen. I would report the listing if i were you. The seller also has listings for a 1943 copper and a 1944 steel cent.
I just can't see spending that kind of money sight unseen. The only coins I've spent more than $100 on online have been from well known, high feedback, brick & mortar coin shops who also happen to have eBay accounts.
Yeah, but check out the seller's completed listings. First was a 1943-D steel cent starting at $400. The 22-no-D was listed starting at $3035 and got no bids over 5 days. The seller's current listing for a 1943 bronze starts out with "1943 Cent, Struck on a Bronze Planchet, graded AU58 by PCGS", but then goes directly into stolen text describing the history of an MS63 specimen. At best, this seller is clueless, and you have no way of knowing what you'll actually get. At worst (and by far most likely), it's all fraud. Retract your bid while there's still time.
Last time with those very same pictures it only sold for $4,500. See http://www.ebay.com/itm/1922-No-D-L...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
Current bid on the linked auction is $37,100. There's another one currently listed on eBay, same photos, same cert #, with a BIN of $4500. What am I missing here?
Here is the legit auction... http://www.ebay.com/itm/29094100090...l?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=290941000904&_rdc=1 Edit: rlm beat me to it. The one that is currently being bid on does not belong to the seller. They stole the photos.
The seller is a scam artist or should I say a Tattoo artist running a weekend scam. BTW she also sold one of The Penny Lady's coins yesterday.
Hah, good catch! I saw that "she" had one successful completed auction, but I didn't run down the photos from that one. In any event, I've reported the auction from the first post, with a pointer to the others.
HAVE to sell on eBay? If you could sell a coin on eBay for $37,000 and only have to pay $250 in fees, why would you sell anywhere else?
Judging by the price, I'm guessing someone is trying to play a prank on the scam-seller. Turnabout's fair play LOL
Yes the guys over on the CU US coin forum have been playing with this joker since yesterday afternoon. I dropped out of the bidding already.
$37k for an AU 22 plain? HAHAHAHA Not only a scam, but apparently some shill bidding....that's in the MS red range.
That's it. The guys over there were driving the bids up while others were reporting the fake auctions. Some of the images came from Heritage. The guys at NGC were doing the same thing. The idea is to drive the price up to the point that no one gets stuck and actually pays for the item, thinking it's a real auction. At some point Ebay ends it all and no one gets hurt.
