...and I once again forgot to save a link to the seller's feedback page, so I can't even see whether the bad feedback has started to land yet. Ah,...
I always wonder for things like this whether it's a hijacked account, or whether a good seller decides to go bad, or whether a bad seller is...
Just came across this BIN listing, which lasted only a few minutes: 1884 "S" Double Eagle $20 Liberty Head Gold Coin -- $1700 BIN Selling...
