    Here is an interesting auction for a 1876 III cent nickel. click here
    I know nothing about live ebay auctions but it seem strange to hold this type of auction for a $30 coin. The pictures are horrible and there is a 20% buyers fee and no shipping cost listed, just buyer to pay shipping. Judjing by some feedback comments the shipping is a little high also.
    The bidding starts at $20 with $10 increments so I can see 2 and maybe 3 bidds on this coin. Myself with those pics I would not go over $20.
    Is it just me, or is this full of red flags?

    Sure, you can't make out ANY detail and it's got a big $6.00 written on it. lol

    I wouldn't touch it, and that's saying something because I buy everything. ;)

    Well it sure isn't just you.

    A new way to scam on ebay and get away with it if you find dumb enough people.

    Love the $6.00 price on the 2x2.

    Wonder how long it will take for this "scam fad" to catch on?

    I would't touch it at the opening bid even ift the shipping was free.

    900fine, nice quote in your signature, but i do believe you are attributing it to the wrong person.

    Really funny, as stated above: $6 on the 2X2, yet the opening price is $20.

    Cheap at 1/10 the price.
