<p>[QUOTE=&quot;aimzb, post: 970675, member: 26587&quot;]I wasn&#039;t going to weigh in on this, but being a full time eBay seller, I feel like I ought to.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As far as rlm&#039;s points about evidence, there is definitely some circumstancial evidence there pointing towards a scam-</p><p>1. He has &quot;sold&quot; 2 of these already for $25,000, well below what they are worth. Not a big deal. But interesting.</p><p>2. He now has 3 of them listed as a Buy It Now with a price of $65,000. I honestly do not see how it would be possible for one person to own 5 coins of a 58 mintage. And, if he did, I very seriously doubt he would be selling them on eBay.</p><p>3. In one listing he did not have a pic due to his &quot;camera being broken&quot;. In sellers&#039; circles on eBay, this is highly suspicious.</p><p>4. The pics he does use are very much stolen from another user (this can be proven). In the world of eBay, pics are generally seen as proof of ownership (especially when trying to sell high dollar items).</p><p>5. Look at his history. He has never sold on eBay. He has bought only 7 items- basketball cards and Twilight related items. These do not sound like the things a person that owns a very rare gold coin (much less 5 of them) would be purchasing.</p><p>6. He has only been an eBay member for two months. Not a big deal. But again, very suspicious.</p><p>7. Shipping is with a Flat Rate Envelope with no insurance. There is no way someone that owns 5 of these coins would ship them without insurance. (On eBay, shipping insurance must be offered up front. It can&#039;t be added later.)</p><p>8. The listings only run for 3 days. Why would he not list them for longer? Is he trying to sell as many as he can within that 32-33 day window of shipping time from the time the first one ended?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, is that any proof of guilt? Not even slightly. But, anyone that does purchase one of those needs to come talk to me. I have some oceanfront property in Nebraska I want to sell them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
