    The sad part is that with over one hundred negatives in the past year he has sold so many items with positive feedback that he still maintains a 99% feedback rating. Now you are right, that one actual look into it would send most people running. But with such a high rating most people do not go so far as to click and read. I definitely am on board with the guy being a sleaze ball but people need to help themselves at some point during their purchasing process.

    I love how he uses, "A real treasure find" and also, "Please note that some of the coins might be copy coins, and they are all marked as such on the coins themselves".

    I wonder how many people purchase this stuff without reading the entire description.

    Even funnier is this line "We decided not to sell these all to the local dealers who really want them" I can't imagine any dealers who wants these.

    All they need is a bottomless cup of coffee and they have themselves a gimmick!

    Are you sure they're proofs or just a dremel and turtle wax polish job? The least they can do is use the Mother's brand, they have a polishing compound that eliminates hairlines.

    People still bid and buy those "unsearched" mason jars , coffee cans, ect of old coins. They have been doing that scam continuously on Ebay since the mid 90's! People want to believe...

    Hes definitely scamming, but how mad can we get. He does say COPY in the item description. If people read it they wouldnt buy it.

    Some people are their own worst enemy. These bidders have no concept of value verses item. I have mentioned this before, but in the late 1990's, NBC TV carried a prime time news report about the price of a cornflake on eBay auctioning for over $1000, because it was in the shape of a religious figure. Only by your wildest imagination could you visualise this. You can't stop people from being fooled when they want to be.
