Ebay is a source of entertainment to me now.

Me too! Who the hell needs cable TV when you have this stuff?

 

they got it all wrong its washigntons face in it.

 

lol!

 

I like these, mentioned it already in the past.

Picked up today a Shield nickel i got on eBay for $5.40, including international shipping. I consider it a rather low overall price. Seller listed it as 1868 Shield Nickel, but there are rays with stars around the 5, so it must have been a 1866, seller just failed to see the difference and the correct year (which is quite visible).

It seems to be in VG, maybe even close to F, and if it was a 1868, it should have been around $19. Since its 1866, the value should be in the $40 area. Sellers fail is often buyers success.

 

Craigslist is funny too when you look at the prices. Everyone thinks their junk is worth hundreds. The worst I saw last night was someone listing 397 1989 baseball cards - not rookies or anything special, just cards - and asking $195 for it. Those cards are maybe worth a buck total. Everything listed under collectibles is like that.

 

Except the rolls of Morgans for $450.

 

What? I bought a 1963 Morgan half dollar a few months ago off ebay.

 

Who makes this kind of mistake? I mean really! Who needs tv when you got IDIOTS like this?

 

Don't get me started on baseball cards. It took me forever to complete a 1989 upper deck set. When I did, the most it was worth was $110--a hundred bucks for the Ken Griffey Jr. card, and ten bucks for all the rest. I don't know what it's worth now.

 

In the early days of ebay, we used to type in words at random to find items that were misspelled. Our best scoop was a "Rear Lynch Box- Mint" listed under gardening items. What it actually was, was a "Rare Lunch Box- Mint". That's all the title was. We bought it- a mint condition Roy Rogers Lunch Box and Thermos for $9.99. After receiving it we reposted it correctly and it sold for $700.

 

Wow according to the seller that Jefferson Wheat penny was minted in New York!

 

$60... $50 for the griffey and $10 for the rest.

 

Man, and the price for a 5 cent at best coin! ROFL

 

Someone sent me a real story of ebay schadenfreude last week:

Well, here's #3! I was looking for something to spend my ebay bucks on and ran across this "lol" moment.

At first he thought it was 'VF" and worth $290.00. But then he must have looked it over one more time and thought, "naaahh, maybe it's a fine". Slash that price out! Lets ask for ONLY $80.00 for it. (A low range fine price.)

Then I come along and say, "Yeah, I think you still missed it by a FEW grades! Better slash that second one out too and put an AG under it and drop the price to $10. Then it still may or may not sell." lol

 

or 340.00
