    One just might take a flyer on that sweet little 1915 Buff. nic........if you could read the darn date! I wonder what the all time fleecing was with one of these ridiculous sales attempts? You just know that somewhere along the line that some poor slug forked over 5 or 10k for one of these 10 cent items.

    Love it when they think typing unnecessary titles adds value to the coin. Or when they put "L@@!@K" on it. lol

    Just for the fun of it I looked at this on ETSY. I noticed some of the items are in some persons cart. I wonder if any of them are (fill in the blank) ____enough to pull the trigger.

    Seller is probably doing it himself hoping someone will try to buy the junk first.

    Do people even do research anymore or is it a “toss it against the wall and see what sticks” mentality?

    Yep, toss it against the wall. You don't need many to stick to make it worthwhile.

    Check out the ridiculous prices and absurd descriptions for this misguided soul. He has dozens of insane listings.

    Yep, that free-listing policy is working out just great. It lets eBay point to the millions of items available every day on their platform.

    I miss the days when there was always an insertion fee, proportional to the starting price, and the FVF was smaller for higher values. List an item starting at 49 cents, have it sell for a thousand or more, and you'd end up paying less than 2% in fees. And I have to think there'd be a lot less dreck listed (and infinitely re-listed) if it actually cost some money to put it up. But, like I said, that would hurt eBay's numbers.

    Ebay ONLY cares about money.
    A friend of mine refused to cancel an auction and sell directly to a buyer (at half the price). The buyer then sent several messages calling him a “black bastard”, “N*****”, and making other racial comments. My friend reported the POS and Ebay didn’t even bother responding and dudes acct is still active.
    We both sent letters to Ebay’s CEO but he never responded either. We both stopped selling or buying on Ebay. I just use it now for the comic relief.

    Wow... and you still have to pay shipping. Should be 4.20 shipping if you know what I mean, if you're paying anyway.

    Yes Ebay only cares about money. There's a few that not only get away with crazy scams. But Ebay removes your negative feedback so these idiots can keep selling. thedockter is one user that I ran into this with. Selling cleaned coins with photoshop pictures. And he cracks details coins out and sells them under the ruse of found in safe of 200 year old store during demolition.

    Oh, better than that -- he sells coins still in modern slabs that came out of that 200-year-old store, as if the age of the building somehow confers magical properties on coins that were briefly popped into its safe.

    Eagerly awaiting the bank to open so I can buy this and give this guy his first awesome feedback! I tried messaging him and asked if he would pay the shipping if I buy it now. Waiting for his response...
