[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3837881, member: 99642"]What kind of dimes are they? US, Canadian, some other? Currently, the melt value for a 90% Silver US Dime is $1.30. The description says "250 + Silver Dimes". Do the math : 250 silver dimes @ $1.30 ea. = $325.00, plus he says "and others" and it looks like 3 collecting albums. That's an awful lot of value for only a starting bid of $50 + $20 shipping. I scour eBay for bargains and don't find bargains like this. Think of this : He could sell the silver to a scrapper for much more money than that, and with much, much less hassle, and no eBay fees. Lesson # 1 : When a deal seems too good to be true, it almost always is.....too good to be true. Lesson # 2 : Look at this guy's feedback : It's ZERO. He's either a complete eBay newbie with no selling experience,..... or ......he's an experienced con man with lots of experience, trying to hook a "sucker fish". He may be the latter, trying to make someone think he's the former. For my money, I WOULD NOT touch it. Now, with that said, I'm not on eBay looking at this, nor am I on eBay able to ask this guy questions or research him or this deal. You could check his " previous eBay IDs ". Multiple previous IDs is a possible sign of problems with a seller. Wait and talk to other members before you pull the trigger on this one. You just might be shooting yourself in the foot. Good Luck.
