[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2168570, member: 27832"]I think that's actually Abe's brother "Gabe". Yeah, that's the lamest I've seen in a while. Hope the high bidders are aware of what's going on, and bidding to protect the naive. Edit: check his neutral feedback -- he's been caught out selling fakes before. In the past I've left neutral for fakes if the seller seemed unwitting and offered a prompt refund, but I'm reconsidering that policy; if eBay isn't going to lift a finger against fake sellers, I guess it's up to us to do it with negative feedback. Trying to decide whether it's worth the time, trouble and (presumably very small) risk to buy something from this clown and drag him over the Buyer Protection coals. He's got a lot of early Lincolns listed, including an S VDB and a 14-D; I wonder if [I]any[/I] of them are legit. Edit again: I suppose it's [I]possible[/I] that he bought a set of Lincolns from the estate of someone who decided to "make his collection more perfect" with replicas of the key dates. Doesn't explain all the feedback for fake silver, though, and makes me wonder about all the rounds and ASEs that he's been moving more recently.[/QUOTE]
