For some reason, people keep selling (and buying) platinum-plated sets of state quarters. Eventually, someone realizes that they don't have any...
Higher capacity is useless for weighing (single) coins, and higher precision is useless for weighing packages. You need two scales. You'll also...
If a seller leaves feedback like that for a buyer -- a positive feedback, the only kind they're allowed to leave, but carrying a negative message...
Yup. Dollars still trade at a substantial premium to melt. I'm a bottom-feeder, so I look for lower prices than you paid, but I don't find them...
Here's another serial seller of counterfeits: le.le80 I started another thread about him some time ago. This is the guy who collected several...
Yeah, this seller seems to have quite a selection of old albums. But when I think of all those years of absurdly rare coins being pressed into...
...goes to this listing, which will be of interest only to those who want to collect proof Trade dollars from 1873 to 1883... and put them into an...

Hey, we don't mock your compulsions, er, hobbies. ;)

Especially as long as people continue to bid much more for an "unsearched wheat roll with a quarter-eagle on the end" than they would pay for a...
That's an interesting example. DLRC has a huge presence on eBay -- in fact, I think I remember them having some sort of large featured promotion...
I used to view that as a positive sign. I had a run-in with a seller who was listing a large number of very poor-quality counterfeits, mostly of...
"wal-martcoinshop"? Now, there's a name designed to inspire confidence and respect. The frequent name changes (four in the last year) might be a...
Well, under the circumstances, you should've brought back enough for the rest of us! :) Seriously, thank you so much for what you've built and...
No offense, but if an auction site is something that a better-than-average coder can work up over a few months, why do you suppose there aren't a...
