<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1931028, member: 27832&quot;]Never mind counterfeits, here&#039;s an example of the kind of auction I&#039;ve mentioned once or twice before:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/261494691906" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/261494691906" rel="nofollow">Lot of 4 - 2010 $50 American Gold Buffalo PCGS MS70 First Strike</a></p><p><br /></p><p>$5000 BIN, with gold at $1250/oz -- exactly at melt. Free shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>I went in on two similar auctions in March. In the first, the account owner said &quot;OMG I&#039;ve been hacked&quot;, and refunded the money. In the second, the owner said &quot;yep, it&#039;s legit&quot;, and gave me a tracking number -- insured for $100 or less, which I watched as it went from its West Coast source to its West Coast destination. In that case, Buyer Protection covered me, of course, but took its sweet time about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen at least a dozen auctions along this same line. This is the latest I&#039;ve stumbled across. I could save eBay, the future buyer, and some inactive account owner a good bit of trouble (and possibly money) if there were an effective method for me to report it. Oh, well -- not my business any more, I suppose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
