I sent the guy an offer for $0.01.... let's see what kind of e-mail I get back...maybe he'll explain why it's worth so much to him...

 

lol...

 

Haha

 

What was that thread the other day, why do so many people bash ebay, or something like that. This is the answer...

 

Don't forget to ask for the $4.50 expedited shipping!

 

Yea, at least since the coin is a bit overpriced he makes up for it with reasonable shipping.

 

Looks like all of you overlooked the fact that it's the rare "lincoin penny one cent".
Says so right in his description.
It's not a Lincoln cent.
Hence the higher value.

 

Usually sellers do this to bring attention to their store... in this case, the seller doesn't have much os a store with just two items..

 

Yup, I would venture to say that someone posts an outrageous ad off of ebay once a month, minimum!!

 

I see nothing rare about this cent. Apparently, this guy thinks he has something worth a billion dollars. Also, I see nothing wrong with the coin itself, therefor I see no reason to say it is not a penny.

 

I received a counter offer for this uber penny cent of $99,999,98... I think I should keep submitting offers for 1 cent or penny... which ever is lower in value til he gets the price down to a reasonable price...this could take a while...

 

Out of my 850 wheat cents, I counted 58 of the same dates and same grade or better.

 

give you .01 each plus shipping

 

I would be careful offering even a cent for it, as he may accept to get the $4.50 shipping

 

So let's see...

-He wants $4.50 for shipping, when he could just send it through USPS for 44 cents. :scratch:

-He has a Buy It Now or Best Offer of 100k, which is just used so people will look at the auction and find out why it is so crazily priced, but his lowest counter offer so far was 2 cents less that the Buy It Now price, $99,999.98. :scratch:

-It is worth about 3 cents, yet the guy thinks it is worth, correct me if I'm wrong, 3,333,333.3x that amount. :scratch:

One word for this guy: CRAZY!!! :scratch:

 

I think he's preparing for the "end times"...... check out his "me" page.... just sayin'.

 

Not only is he "preparing" for the apocalypse, but he is giving all of his personal info on the page, including name, full address, and phone #!!! :scratch: SUSPICIOUS...

 

Check out the mint location in his listing

 

No cent has ever been minted at West Point!!!
