[QUOTE="PaddyB, post: 3838345, member: 40017"]This is really too American for my experience, but since I was tagged, I'll throw in my thoughts: The usual con with this sort of listing is to use the word "silver" loosely - ie covering a load of later cupro-nickel white metal coins. From the pictures I don't think he has done this - the majority do seem to be silver. The cruder con is if he has no intention of sending out anything at all, or something entirely unrelated to the pictures. In most cases you would be protected under Ebay and Paypal terms. He would have to be pretty canny to get money out of Paypal before at least 14 days after payment as he is a new seller, so a straight paypal refund would apply. Finally the ID does appear to be genuinely new - set up 2nd November 2019 and the only change appears to be a correction on the userid made the same day. None of this guarantees the deal is good, but I would say worth a gamble if $50 (or more likely $200+) is not going to break your heart if it goes missing. Of course, all this chat here probably means he has 200 watchers all waiting to snipe bids in the last few seconds and so it will no longer be a bargain![/QUOTE]
