ebay troll.... couldn't help but share this one

I know these the bay is loaded with these but I would love to be a fly on the wall when the "local pickup" transaction goes down. Cash only. Small bills preferred.

This one is a better deal. It is certified genuine and only $1 million.

Plus, free shipping!

 

Wonder if he accepts checks or bitcoin...

 

Crazy

 

And he does not appear to have previously sold a coin, based on feedback.

 

That's just because eBay these days is full of bargain hunters who don't appreciate true quality in coins.

 

Totally worth it plus you'll earn 100 eBay Buck$

 

This is a very elite listing for the most elite of eBay clientele. I mean by definition, right? Few have 5 million USD in cash, or can get access to that amount in time, for that face-to-face transaction at some Starbucks in Maryland.

And for such a high-buck listing, those photos...

 

And no returns!

 

Your post made me curious so I did an ebay search for the highest priced coin auction. It has a starting bid of $20 Million as the down payment for the Buy It Now sale of the $2.4 Billion John D. Rockefeller coin collection. It can be yours for only $2 Billion. The collection is housed in five cases and photos are provided (of the five cases). Said to include the 1933 $20 gold piece.

 

The best part is this 'The NGC themselves had no better struck examples in 40 years of grading.'

And thanks to Ebay right below that recommending similar items we can see this coin below. I'm not an ancient guy but they look like the same coin and the one below was also given a 5/5 strike and an even higher 4/5 for surfaces according to NGC and is listed for the bargain BIN price of $5,750

Yeah, these "phony shee-an" coins can be problematic, however, in his description he cites no less than 7 youtube vids as evidence! So you know he did his research!

 

Here is another fun listing. It offers a large collection of world coins for only $425.

However, the shipping cost of $139,000 makes the deal slightly less favorable!

 

Free local pickup may be cheaper.

 

He does have one thing accurate in the listing. He says the coin is "priceless." I agree: there is no price I would pay for it.

 

But he has "0" feedback, so you know he has no negatives!

 

How is he able to post something with that large a bin price and only 13 feedback? Don't you need to keep calling Ebay and incrimitally raising your sales limit over time?

 

I don't know why the bay allows sellers, if you can even call them that, to make a mockery of their platform and clog up the works with bogus offerings like that.

And the china sellers too, offering "diamond" rings for 99 cents. All their listings take up the search results so you can't find legit offerings. Or the infamous junk drawer and estate lots, that consistently get zero bids yet remain perpetually in auction. Why allow that kind of activity?

 

Listing fees?

 

Free listings are a pestilence on eBay. Sure, there are more millions of items "available" as a result -- but so. Much. Dreck.
