    Meh, I don't sell, just hoard, so no profit there. I just can't bear to get rid of any of my shiny things lol.

    Yes, that's a great idea but it's too late to edit the poll now. If your intention was to buy it just so that you can contact the seller and have sale cancelled, then you should vote "I'll pass" as you have no intention in hoping to receive the coins.

    I am surprised how many people would,without hesitation, take advantage of someone's mistake!
    (but also happy to see that many people would do the correct, moral thing).

    I guess I'd pass, but I like the idea of "Buy it now" and then cancel the order.

    1. If I were the seller and made that mistake, I'd risk the negative feedback and wouldn't send the coins, and I'd explain it was a mistake.

    2. What would you do if you were sent extra coins in the mail by mistake? I bought a comic book collection once via ebay and I was sent 50 extra comic books. I contacted the seller and he had accidentally sent me my order + someone else's. I mailed out the other books for the guy, told him how much it cost to do so, and he reimbursed me. It was just the right thing to do.

    Ya know what I would think if I saw an e-bay listing like this? I'd think it was too good to be true and like all things too good to be true, I'd pass..........:)

    Gotta agree. I don't have time to get caught up in somebody else's misfortune. I would not like it if it happened to me, I hate to make mistakes so why would I want to do it to someone else. I just don't have the time for it.

    Always, always, always buy a coin if you see it has been listed in error. Then contact the seller. You will probably get a discount on a future sale. Otherwise, a less integrous individual will expect the sale.

    I would have bought, hoping to work work it out, that's why I voted that way.
