    I'm sure some of you remember the egregious fakes being offered straight from "Uncle John's Attic" on Ebay a few months ago. Well, guess what? They are still at it.

    The fakes are even worse this time around. Check this one out! :yuck:

    Sadly though, it appears Uncle John has passed away, as the coins are now coming not from Uncle John's attic, but rather from grandpa's attic. May he rest in peace.

    However, the ranting descriptions are still as comical as ever. I'll post a link if you want to check it out. Warning, the mad ranting of this lunatic scammer may give you eye cancer.

    Holy guacamole, every single sentence in that listing is hilarious! My favorite:

    We don't ship to Israel Italy or near Greece, Peru Columbia Arizona New York City Mexico City North Carolina nj & often parts of Florida / Illinois for more than one reason (unfortunately).

    Yeah, that's definitely the product of a mind affected by years of severe horse tranquilizer abuse.

    Kids, leave the Ketamine for horses, unless you want to end up as a fake peddler on eBay while writing long, paranoid, delusional, and rambling item descriptions.

    I have long maintained that this is someone gathering information for a thesis on abnormal psychology or engaging in a bet on what it would take o stop people from sending money.

    "we have our in-house Noah's Ark Authentic Coin Books (Volume 1 -71) , *everything in Noah's Ark is authentic* to these science authentic books/labels;"

    "Newer Heirlooms were likely Grandfathers Levy's or donated; he may have bought it on a cruise; we may have bought it at a garage sale;"

    "All heirlooms here were labeled; though some Mislabeled, Miscellaneous, Mixed-up & we have a good-eye when sober. just kidding. a little bit."


    Apparently Grandpa Levy enjoyed naming his "heirlooms." This coin might be called "Eve", or... "LyingCheatingBastardBenjamin."

    Whether these are just more ramblings or descriptions of actual steps taken I don't know, but these feedback responses would seem to dramatically cross the line from bemusing nonsense into actual malignancy:

    This always sits at the back of my mind a little. My Paypal has my real name affixed to it: I imagine a vendor, if we fell into some kind of disagreement, would have the ability to go looking me up on Facebook and so on?

    I liked it when the store was “Papaw’s Pouch” and the photo was J.R.R. Tolkien. The nonsense rants are still the same though. :)

    His response to being accused of selling fakes:
    Everything is 100% authentic. My name is David Allen, what is your name? You are not stupid, you are uneducated & delusional; I have scientific proof of this; my iq is 174, learning has always been simple. You are about to get a big education then if you ever send a message like that again to anyone you will in fact be stupid like you collecting community. share the education with them; I have about 700 million usd; just lucky, not special,just lucky and with my time I do charity; i need nothing; I know a guy (TJ), he spends near $200K a year checking relic (BC) coins with precious metal content; his goal is to find one Alexander The Great Recognizable Genuine BC Coin, the 1st authenticity test is $8200 in Israel and a few other places. I bet you didn't know that; it is 100% the only test 100% The 2nd authenticity test corrects the 1% error probability gap in the 1st test. it is the (museum test) it costs $19,000. There are 59 specimens in the world recognizable Alexander The Great. Approximately 3000 have been tested over the past 29 years since the test was discovered. When we learned this Scientific Fact we donated our few dozen Alex Great Coin heirlooms, closed our ears, & no longer accept donations of Alex Great. I bet you think you have held an Alexandr The Great Coin; Each is priceless; I'll define priceless later today to you. There are 1000 Alexander The Great Coins for sale on e-bay, they are all deemed authentic with papers too, WOW. Authentic is a hobby term ,you are a hobbier; A collector has a plane a hobbier has a mortgage. How can this be. The hobbier & the collector are two different categories of people. Hobbier likes the art, deceptions, and look to hobby books of old coins that actually were written to deter coin making 1000 years ago and older. It is a scientific fact; We Earn Zero $ here in-Ark; we are not interested in the hobby, or art or collectors. I work with the elite 25 years. million/billion $ families; We don't have Alex The Great.
