<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2308731, member: 73165&quot;]So, I&#039;ve seen a few coins that look appealing from this eBay seller <a href="http://www.ebay.com/usr/highrating_lowprice" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/usr/highrating_lowprice" rel="nofollow">highrating_lowprice</a>.&nbsp; I&#039;m rather put off by his absurd tactic of pricing his coins insanely high and then offering a 73% discount.&nbsp; (Weird -- it&#039;s always 73%.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I know his US coin lots are outrageously overpriced. <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/321608475432" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/321608475432" rel="nofollow"> Here&#039;s an example</a> of a textbook VG 1942 Walking Liberty half, priced at $145, discounted 73% to $39.15.&nbsp; The coin itself looks fine, but he&#039;s trying to get an AU/MS price for a VG coin.&nbsp; And that&#039;s what I&#039;m worried I&#039;ll get if I buy from him.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anybody mind spot checking a few of his ancient listings to see if the same thing holds?&nbsp; For instance, this one: <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antoninus-Pius-Marcus-Aurelius-Father-Silver-Ancient-Coin-Funeral-pyre-i45200-/231417388953" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antoninus-Pius-Marcus-Aurelius-Father-Silver-Ancient-Coin-Funeral-pyre-i45200-/231417388953" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antoninus-Pius-Marcus-Aurelius-Father-Silver-Ancient-Coin-Funeral-pyre-i45200-/231417388953</a> .&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>He claims to be an expert in ancients, so maybe his prices will be more reasonable?&nbsp; I dunno.&nbsp; *sigh* I may just stick to vcoins and forvm (and, of course, CoinTalk!).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
