Just a heads up on a 'slick' seller.
His eBay handle was previously "josep.crous"
From Louisville, Kentucky

His auctions also had a shill bidder, but those bids have been withdrawn after it was pointed out on another coin board...

Yep, pretty slick -- he's found a way to buy a coin for $480 and sell it for $360, minus fees.

I'm happy to see him keep it up for as long as he can stand it!

 

He says he likes to keep his coins raw, but shows photos of graded coins

 

They sold to his shill account on both of them. He will relist them till he gets his price

 

this guy seems like an idiot

 

I wonder if ncs could do anything with that dollar wish I could see in hand

 

Hmm. That cent auction says "This listing was ended by the seller because the item was sold." That's a bit different from "sold for $360", even though $360 is listed as the "winning bid". Looks like he might have pulled the plug on the auction... although last I checked, if you end an auction early, you're on the hook to sell to whoever has the high bid when you end it.

 

Yes, he sold it to himself. Then you cancel the order and try again.

 

But he said they were raw because that's how he likes his coins.

 

Here is where he got that 1795 Dollar. I noticed he doesn't mention that it received a XF Details - Environmental Damage from NGC.

Take a look... http://coins.ha.com/itm/early-dolla...ronmental-damage-ngc-details-xf/a/1216-5213.s

 

I guess it is a long way to scroll all the way back to that first post...

 

I hope it's true that he isn't finding anyone to buy them. That's great news.

Some of his other items are obviously cleaned "detail" coins too, but they aren't as 'in your face' as these 2 attempts.

 

I love that he doesn't even "risk" cracking them out first.

 

I just asked the seller a question:

"Why did you buy an XF Details coin at Heritage Auction, crack it out and list it on eBay as a problem free coin?"

I'll be interested to see if I get a response.

 

I'm guessing he didn't have the beans to give you a response?

 

So far, you are correct. I've received nothing, nadda, scratch, zip, zippo, zilch!

 

I love that he lost money . Maybe it's karma .
