[QUOTE="Numismat, post: 2038192, member: 15019"]A very common practice, and something people who do what I do need to get acquainted with. That is... looking for lots on eBay that have good potential. This can be either highly profitable or a huge money pit depending on how you go about it. Here is an example of what to avoid: [url]http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-Unsearched-Old-Modern-World-Foreign-Collection-Coins-Currency-Silver-/390996714362?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item5b0938637a[/url] A "troll lot" is something that the seller is well aware is worth very little, but presents it in a way to entice people to take a gamble with a much higher bid than what they would if it were presented honestly. Please note this seller has plenty of other items with good, clear photos. This is the only one conveniently blurry. There is on picture in particular that is extra blurry, and shows what can easily be seen as a strong possibility for a large, toned silver coin. It is a pile of junk that the seller will maximize their profits on by playing the fool and letting the gullible people play the lottery. Don't be the fool.[/QUOTE]
