Pretty certain this is a scam. Anyone want to chime in?

    Definitely. Low sales volume, located in Australia and just joined as a seller this month. There's going to be a lot of disappointment for those buyers.

    At least they'll be losing only half the money that they would have with a more competent scammer.

    How do you get 66 sold with 0 sales? Is that some variation on Immaculate Conception?

    Run!

    Of course it is. Just last year I intentionally purchased from one of these outfits that sells ASE's at half spot value. The front end advertisement was as glitzy as this one. The photographs were of genuine ASE's just like this one. The coin received was comical..... Just more Beijing mint garbage designed to separate you from your money. Fake as a three dollar bill.

    Ebay has a Money Back Guarantee if the item doesn't arrive or is not as listed. I would not buy from someone with no feedback or is too cheap.

    I didn't notice till after I posted this, but there's 2 or 3 more listings for the same thing, just different usernames. I can't believe there are so many buyers! The price alone screams "CHINESE FAKE!".

    What's REALLY frightening is, in the initial Ebay post, and after the item for sale are all the "similar" 1 oz ingots at 1/3 the scrap value for auction by other vendors.

    Likewise here in my current location. Still, with silver hovering at $108/oz something smells rotten in Denmark......
