Strange eBay Auction
While browsing around a little bit ago, I happened on to an auction that had
no photo. Since only peanuts are involved, on a whim I decided to take a chance. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=30379893 19 Do you see anything "fishy" in this thing? I thought it really odd that more than fifty people had viewed the auction (if the counter is accurate) and it only had that one bid for .01 before I made my bid. -=LDL=- |

Cliff I agree that 5 dollars is REALLY steep. But is the coin is what he says it is, you might be OK.

I would have been tempted to ask the seller about condition. Yep, that is good advice, and is something that I frequently do when there is something that isn't clear. However, there were only a few minutes left in the auction when I happened upon it, so that was not something that I could do this time. -=LDL |

I would have been tempted to ask the seller about condition. ie: How many holes does it have in it? Or, can you see through any parts of it? Or, does it have scalloped edges? Just a guess, I bet it's worth $5.05 :) Looks like just a way for the seller to sell cheap items and not give ebay a large FVF. -- John Visit the RCCers favorite coins web page http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jcarne...ns/rccers.html |
