    This is just sad, probably just put on as a practical joke.
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-OF-QUAR...424?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19fb59bfd0

    First off, I can not see a date, second off .99 cents ... $infinity shipping. I doubt that this is a 1943.

    1941 wheat cent in bad shape, what do you think, 5 cents? Well that is not the case here!!

    Common greased die error, not worth more than $10. Well... Look how much this guy is charging!

    $100 in Ikes, I would pay $100 from my bank but that is just me. I bet that some people would pay $130 though.

    A $30 Morgan dollar and eight Ikes worth $8 to me, though probably $10 for some people who do not know that you can get them from many banks for face. The price for this is crazy!

    But it is free shipping on that grease error.... kinda makes it worth $80,000.

    There could be a whole forum dedicated to the trash listings sold on eBay.

    The ANACS quarter has been on the bay forever, and has been the subject of past threads here as well; is just one of those things...

    As for the others, some are simply hoping for a quick bidiot buck. Others such as the one with $50k shipping are most certainly not serious, and are intended to draw eyes to the seller's other listings.

    This stuff is fun to look through....but what's funnier is all the sarcastic discussion. I say, yea, make it a "Post a Funny eBay Listing", but I swear, the minute on of mine show up here I'm done! :stop:

    If someone bid on those two quarters as shown on example one I would have given them free shipping.

    Ya know, I can't fault the guy with the quarter for anything in his description except over hyping the item. I could not do this in good faith but if someone buys it, it will probably pay off his mortgage. But then again, I have a bunch of these, hmmmm....lol.

    The OP must not have read the listings, OK the first and last listings were ripoffs but the others? I mean the first one of course that's a 43 copper who would put a 42 or 44 in between two perfectly good 43's, the second one well maybe you need to brush up on your Spanish because he says it's in perfect condition why would I doubt him, and the quarter well that one is slabbed by a reputable company and he said it was unique I mean honestly who can put a price on unique? Those Morgans that's just a sin and a shame, bit a 43 copper, a perfect 41 and the unique quarter those don't come along too often.

    Honestly something I think is funny is how many people watch those items. Not to buy them per say. But probably waiting for the moment when some person does and they can all say "really?"

    Oh, that's just a teaser... you know, to get you interested. I see the "Make Offer" button there, so this is what a guy should do: Make an offer of $200.00. He'd probably take it.

    Hopefully they don't get hosed on that shipping cost.
