<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 400441, member: 12965&quot;]So does anyone want to take a stab at what a AG/FR-2 1804 C-10 Half-Cent is worth? I&#039;d say around $30 to $40 tops, but our latest scam artist got $687 for his. Here&#039;s his reply to my message to him:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial"><i>I said it in the ad I know nothing about this type coin. The coins reverse is so badly pitted I can not read much of at all. even with 6 x loop. Just a few letters here and there. I thought the pictures alone would answer any questions. I also said in there cheerful refund given if not happy. to one of the first questions. I do think your right about having to relist it as a half cent...........Many thanks George for clearing this up for me. In the Dark Bruce</i></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial">I never said anything about relisting it, I said he needed to amend it and clarify that it wasn&#039;t a ONE CENT but rather, a HALF-CENT. Since it&#039;s clear to me that he&#039;s scamming the buyer, I sent a reply to him:</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2"><i>Considering it&#039;s worth $30 to $40 dollars, you should expect problems.</i></font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2"><i>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></i></font></font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial">Then I sent a message to the buyer:</font></p><p><br /></p><p><i><font face="Arial">You recently purchased a 1804 coin for a little over $600.00 and while it was listed as a 1804 ONE CENT, it was actually a 1804 HALF-CENT and worth about $40.00. The seller was told this repeatedly but refused to correct the listing. </font></i></p><p><i><font face="Arial"><br /></font></i></p><p><i><font face="Arial">I thought you would want to know this now before going through weeks of trying to get a refund thru PayPal. </font></i></p><p><i><font face="Arial"><br /></font></i></p><p><i><font face="Arial">George <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </font></i></p><p><i><font face="Arial"><br /></font></i></p><p><i><font face="Arial">Ps: Here is what you bought: </font></i></p><p><i><font face="Arial"><br /></font></i></p><p><i><font face="Arial"><a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/1804_half_cents/1804_half_cent_c10.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/1804_half_cents/1804_half_cent_c10.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfacts.com/half_cents/1804_half_cents/1804_half_cent_c10.htm</a> </font></i></p><p><i><font face="Arial"><br /></font></i></p><p><i><font face="Arial">I also notified Ebay about the fraud but they didn&#039;t do anything. You can easily see the top pillars of the H, of HALF, on the coin you bought so it is extremely obvious what it is and if you compare the picture in the link above, you will see everything matches up to what you bought.</font></i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>I feel sorry for peeps who don&#039;t know what to look for to keep from getting scammed but when I do everything within my power to stop harm from occurring and harm still occurs, I will do what I can to help the poor smuck and with what I did, it violates Ebay&#039;s policy of not interfering in a sale but since Ebay didn&#039;t do what was right and pull the auction, I had to interfere.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
