E-Bay stupidity at its finest

Nothing says "ripoff" and "thief" quite like this listing. a 1933 gold dollar ms65fh? Full head on this coin? I tried to report the con man listing it but it was too late. Check it out.

You mean I bought a fake!?!

 

Garnered 16 bids, too, on a zero feedback person who joined November 23. That's a trifecta.

 

I am wondering if he even has a clue what it is. Probably just thew it on there thinking it was worth something, but had no clue.

 

ooooooh, never seen anything like it. Gotta have it.

 

I don't understand why it got bids. Really bizarre.

 

Yeah, unbelievable! Seller's first sale too, the bidder's must have been totally drunk or out of their minds.

 

It's my understanding that there are guys who purposely bid on this crap to keep it "off the market". I don't know the details of whether they pay for it and take possession or bid on it and don't pay. I'm not saying that happened in this case, but I have heard of people knowingly bidding on fakes trying to help the hobby.

 

If this person is a "thief" scamming for a "rip off", the only thing this listing says is "foolish". Not everyone knows about nor cares about coins.

 

but, but, but it's a Morgan.

Chalk up another fantastic Ebay transaction.

 

Sad. Wish we could educate the "winner"

 

1933 morgan Standing liberty gold dollar with a full head, wow that must be the rarest coin known to hallucinating men!
