I'm being facetious of course, but they are back for another round after all of their previous 2 dozen or so account were banned months ago. (May have to click completed items as most of these are ending withing next couple days) http://www.ebay.com/sch/prettyperfectcoin/m.html http://www.ebay.com/sch/saman-laht/m.html http://www.ebay.com/sch/sykekathl/m.html http://www.ebay.com/sch/prettyperfect44/m.html?LH_Complete=1&rt=nc http://www.ebay.com/sch/germanymarkcoins/m.html?LH_Complete=1&rt=nc And here is one that actually represents the correct item location: http://www.ebay.com/sch/suacco/m.html
Just in time for the Ebay coin fraud department's disbandment. Thanks for the warning. Yeah, I simply need to stop buying coins I am not positive about. I used to just bounce around buying crap, but with sellers like this on Ebay, and Ebay actively dismantling departments that were trying to police this, I just need to stop buying there like that.
Other than vast experience, what tells you that these are all fake (if there is some little bit of knowledge that you can pass on)? Rob
There are some in there that you can see are fake from the photos, but many are very good and nearly impossible to tell from the pictures. I've been on top of this distributor for a while. Before eBay made people's ID's anonymous I was in contact with many of their buyers. I had gathered testimonials from a good number that either realized the coins were fake when inspecting them in hand, or had them bodybagged as "questionable authenticity" by the TPG's. I used these testimonials to get their accounts banned when the old reporting system was in effect. No such luck now it seems. And actually there are some genuine low end circulated coins mixed in with the high end fakes. It's a common tactic they use to throw people off.
Pretty sure this is exactly why they are back. Have not seen them for a good three months after getting the last batch of their accounts banned.

Would be glad to help John. Your chapter in the Kleeberg book and work in the more recent GNL reference was very thorough.
