[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 1594636, member: 37498"]With any luck, these "[I]Selling my last 1884 "S" Double Eagle $20 Liberty Head Gold Coin[/I]" auctions were just marketing hype and the buyers will actually receive the coins they paid for. I watched an auction a while back where a guy was selling a large lot of silver and gold bullion claiming the items belonged to his grandfather and that he was trying to raise money to offset the expenses from the estate. I thought the story sounded a little fishy, so I looked into his history and I could match every single item in the auction to something he bought on FeeBay within the past couple weeks. All of the photos he used to list them were the photos from the auctions where he bought them. I have to wonder if he listed the auction before he even had the items in hand. Sometimes, the things people do on FeeBay just leave you scratching your head... Maybe we need to coin a new euphamism for buying coins on FeeBay: "Buy the coin, not the story."[/QUOTE]
