The poor guy & his wife are wishful thinkers.

Some may say he's a dreamer. Well, he is the only one.
60 grand for cheap coin. In the end, he'll get none.

 

You are NOT going to believe this. Bwhahahah

When will this guy learn?

 

It looks like he's convinced some fool to bid on it! Either that or the bidder is a shill or just bidding as a joke.

 

Yeah, it's interesting that the userID is private. It makes me think that he is bidding on it his self to try and convince others that it's "worth it"

 

what would be the insertion fee on $10000?

 

hrmm. Good question. I wouldn't know. I'm not a seller. Anyone else know?

 

yeah - the mintage on this coin doesn't matter, because it is a private mint. It they wanted they could issue another 3500 - and your 'coin's' rarity has just been cut in half... and they could do it again and again. If this is from the same company that issued the silver coin in similar image, you can expect that not only do you have something worth flat bullion, but nobody wants it. Bullion coins aren't rare, so why buy the one that will leave other collectors wondering how much you allowed yourself to be fooled for?

 

The fee would be--

$4.80 to even start it...then if it sells it will be---THIS IS TAKEN RIGHT FROM EBAYS PAGE---5.25% of the initial $25.00 ($1.31), plus 2.75% of the initial $25.00 - $1,000.00 ($26.81), plus 1.50% of the remaining closing value balance ($1,000.01 - closing value)---
I didn't do the math to see how much but it will be a pretty cent!

Speedy

 

If you look extremely close, you will see he is veeeerry close to the mexican border--Our friend thar has been smokin to much of that alcalpoco gold stuff---hahahaha

 

Regular or menthol? hehe

 

stuff on ebay

I buy Morgans, so Im not a very experienced coin buyer. I buy only morgans. Im sure theres fakes on ebay, and sellers with ridiculous auctions. My main area of collecting is old original war letters and war diaries. The stuff I buy, theres no danger of fakes. I suppose you could fake diaries and letters, but nobodys doing it yet. In 1992, when Shaq came into the NBA, I was hooked on Sports cards for a while. But Sports memorabilia is too risky. Lots of fakes in the sports memorabilia. Plus the sports industry is a revolving door of ahtletes coming and going. You buy an athletes signed jersey one day, nobody wants it the next day. In Miami where I live, sure, the dealers will still buy signed Dan Marino stuff, but you wont get anywhere near what you paid for it. At least in coins theres the bid-ask grey sheet prices, so you cant lose. Or so you think. If you dont buy a PCGS slab, the dealer buying your stuff will buy it at two or three grades lower than what you paid. For sports memorabilia, there is a dealer in my town who's known throughout the hobby. Rich Altman: nationally recognized sports autograpp expert. Hes the exclusive retailer for stuff signed by former Celtic Bill Russell. If I can ever get some extra cash in my pocket I might buy from Rich a few Marlins Signed World Series Balls.
