UPDATE on 1969S Unc Lincoln Roll on eBay

We had a lot of fun a while back regarding this eBay auction.

This is the guy that threatened to ban bidders who did not bid seriously on his auction for a Unc roll of 1969 S Lincolns. Well, looks like he had 4 offers that he refused, and nobody wanted to pay $7.00 each for the roll, so zero (0) bids.

Looks like we might get a round two chance on this item. :rolling:

"I UNDERSTAND THAT MOST EBAYERS ARE SEARCHING FOR BARGAINS."

My goodness. This doesn't apply to anyone bidding in this auction.

I like memorials and think they are grossly undervalued but this is an order of magnitude more than they'd be worth even with a huge spike in demand (as seems to be occurring). The simple fact is that there are substantial numbers of these set aside in rolls for all dates. There are lots fewer than in the pre-'64 days but those numbers were simply enormous while the later coins are substantial. The '69-S is a desirable coin in gem or chGem but it's not even be worth $7 a roll now and this is much more true if it's known in advance that there are no gems or DDO's.

 

"Feedback: 93.8 % Positive"

That is about the lowest rating I have EVER seen on EBAY.

 

Funny, his top negative is from the idiot that paid $99.95 for a 1923 Peace dollar. Of course, that was a bargain because of the $21,000,000 original price! HAHAHAHAHAHA

If he reposts the roll I might be convinced to bid ABOVE Greysheet ask of $2.40, maybe something like $2.50. Wonder what he would do?

 

Wow, I love this auction...there are so many funny quotes. I mean, look at all these:

and my personal favorite...(drum roll please)...

Oh, and apparently he offers free shipping through the method of "local pickup." At least he doesn't charge extra to let you drive over and get the item.

Yeah, I'll be bidding on his items in the near future. :rolling:

 

Camero, You should write comedy scripts....

 

Except he'd have to give a royalty to the ebay seller , who wrote the funniest lines himself! Sheeesh!! :rolling:

 

"price: US $21,000,000.00

Best offer: US $99.95 "

They are both idiots.

 

my favorite:
"BIDDERS THAT HAVE NOT READ THE FULL DESCRIPTION OR DECIDE TO LOW BID ANYWAY, WILL BECOME PART OF MY BLOCKED BIDDERS LIST. "

All that I can say is: Thank you! Please block me.

 

Good point! If we get blocked, then that will stop us from ever accidentally bidding on one of his items! :thumb:

 

The idiot would not even accept paypal. Thats what ebay uses. What a dufus!

 

I thought sellers on eBay were required to at least offer paypal these days.

 

Well I have a roll of 1969 S Pennies still in the original Federal Reserve Bank wrapping... the two visible on the ends are very brilliant looking.. wonder if I should list them on the bay and ask for some rediculous price. This guy is honestly nuts.

 

Interesting concept, if it doesn't sell at $350, raise the price to $500:

If I understand this the seller has received nine feedbacks in the past year and a half. I feel this is a case of someone that is just not in touch with the hobby.

 

I see he is willing to:

I WILL PLACE EACH COIN WITHIN INDIVIDUAL CARDBOARD/ MYLAR HOLDERS, ....FOR ENJOYABLE, EASY VIEWING AND PROTECTION AGAINST THE ELEMENTS.​

This must account for the price increase. :rolling::rolling::rolling::rolling:

He has also added:

"ADDITIONALLY, I WILL ONLY ENGAGE IN EMAIL CONVERSATIONS WITH BIDDERS WHO HAVE OFFERED CONSIDERABLE BIDS."​

Must have been getting too much email. ​

 

And wait best of all, he only offers Local Pickup for the roll of 69-S's!!!!!!! What a winner. I wish I got an opportunity to put an offer in on that 23' peace dollar, I could've retired at 25. People like that have a chemical imbalance of sorts. Lol

 

The more I read this morons description, the more I laugh, "I will place each coin in a mylar holder to protect it from the elements". I guess thats in case you forget and leave them in the back of your pickup truck after you drive over to get them!!!

 

Now that there's funny


Wait, I drive a pickup
