Ebay isn't the only place to sell ridiculous crap ;)

I've been going through some coins tonight and needed to look up some stuff and came across this. So it seems sleezbay is not the only site doing damage to coin collecting lol.

Probably this won't sell. If it does sell, the buyer will be an idiot. Either way, it's overall effect on the hobby will be zilch. Still good for a chuckle, though.

 

Yeah. Bonanza can induce quite the chuckle

 

A 2007-D cent for 999$ Edited~ Language - I'm gonna go with this dude!!

 

if it does sell I want in on it I have plenty of 07-d just sitting around HA!

 

For real! haha

 

until tonight I havent had that hard of a chuckle, Im checking other lots out

 

Too bad he only has 1 in stock.. I need like 3 of them!

 

Wait a bit I'm sure he will have new stock soon. If he can't find one soon I wonder if he takes consignments

 

This is the reason that I wanted eBay to have a continuing scale for listing fees.
If I recall correctly the top listing fee was something like $2.40.
I don't recall what the minimum opening was for that but the top was the "moon".
I always thought to stop nonsense openings make the fees something like 1%.
That wouldn't much affect realistic openings; a legitimate $1000 item would cost the seller $10.
And a ridiculous $1000 opening would also cost the seller $10.
Once they found out that no one would buy at that price but they still paid $10 that would stop that rather quickly since it was no longer "fun".

 

The website is bonanza.com.

Which one of the Cartwrights is selling the coin?

 

Another 'priceless gem' from eBay.

Hoss. He seemed to be the dullest of the bunch.

 

Only suckers pay listing fees now - there are so many ways to get free listings. The result is what I call "inventory dumps" - a seller lists two or three hundred overpriced items, and if you list good stuff at fair prices the same day, your stuff gets lost in the garbage. I wish eBay would go back to listing fees - if just for one day a week. And I loved that they used to charge 25c for a thumbnail picture - I always paid it, and my listings stood out from all the listers that wouldn't go that 25c.

 

As long as the first Gallery image was free I didn't care.
I know enough HTML to post any other images in my Description.

 

boy this one is another interesting listing "Save $5 when you buy 5 or more" http://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-D-Spli...ac5eec5&pid=100033&rk=4&rkt=8&sd=142160556255
