True but even a non-V.D.B. 1909 S starts at around $100 or so in just Good condition. If the current price doesn't go too much higher, might be worth it to final winner.

 

wow...more ebay scamming. What seller in their right mind wouldnt look to see if its a VDB.

 

i saw that auction this morning when it was about $78. Gone up quite a bit now. If I were to bid, I would only bid based on the value of that 1909-S as if it were a plain cent.

 

I have fewer than 10 feedbacks, why can I not bid without contacting the seller first?

 

Because they set the limit of reputation before selling to people. Don't bid on it now that I think more about it, it's most likely just a 1909-S without VDB and the rest in that roll are likely common crud. The other VDB end one is likely just a regular 1909 likely to be worth about $10. Don't waste your time, these types of rolls are the ones you just look at, laugh at the people bidding on them and move on to the next auction. $153 going price right now is likely about $50 more than the roll is worth.

 

SOMEONE's ONE IS GOING TO BE DISSAPOINTED......

AGREED....

 

Because the seller doesn't want to deal with people who can't show that they have bid before and paid for items. Just a formality, though, because all you have to do to get good feedback is to purchase some small items and pay promptly, and you can have your ten feedbacks. Or contact the seller and ask if you can bid. Or find some item to bid on where the seller doesn't have that requirement.

 

I wasn't going to bid on it. I know better. I was just offended that I'm being left out for some unknown and unfair reason. I reported it to eBay as it's a violation of their terms.

 

Will someone's two or three not be disappointed?

 

Had a duh moment. and couldn't correct it

 

How's it against their terms? Sellers can set their own terms as well to my knowledge.

 

How is it a violation of eBay policy? And why report it if you weren't even planning to bid on it?

 

I went deeper and realized that I had read it wrong. Sorry.
I still don't think it's right to shut out a bidder because (s)he has not made a minimum number of purchases.
"If you don't have 10 feedbacks, you must be a deadbeat so I can't be bothered with you"

 

I can't help but wonder if this is a bit of truth in advertising.

What does he do with the GOOD ones?

 

Well, perhaps they were burned a few times in the past. I don't think it's fair when a business posts, "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Business" but then again, I can't really blame them either. They're the seller, it's usually their right as any business owner to refuse service for any reason they see fit.

 

Actually, no. Sellers have to protect themselves from possible deadbeats. Those people are more likely to be that during the first number of "winning bids" they have. It's nothing against you. People are more likely to pay promptly for an item once they've established that they will. It's kind of a catch-22, but it's pretty easy to find 10 or so items that are inexpensive that you like and then go for the items you might really want. And sometimes the seller just wants the person who has no established history to email and ask, because that at least says to the seller that the possible buyer reads the listing and is willing to abide by the rules of the seller.

 

Someone will be disappointed because these unsearched rolls are a scam. But by the number of sellers that offer them they must be doing quite well running it. I'm sure that a seller whose name is something coin shop didn't remove the coins and look at them wait they did because they make up these rolls. The pathetic thing is you can see many of these sellers have bought lots of cents and occasional keys and make these up. I also found it odd when looking before that many of these sellers have multiple feed backs from other sellers of the same thing cent rolls. This leads me to believe that either there are a ring of sellers in on the scam together or seller is using multiple id's, take your pick as to which it is or a combo of both.

 

Well, it sold for a final price of $218, so I'd say it's definitely $118 overpaid, so yeah, someone is gonna be disappointed for sure.

 

Please point out what violation occurred.
Why report it if you weren't gonna bid anyway?
Sounds just mean and spiteful to me!!
