I'll give the seller credit for the sheer scope of this accomplishment!  
However, once you start looking, you notice many if not most of his coins have problems, if not culls outright. 
Then begins the onerous task of filtering through a massive pile of overpriced junk for coins of numismatic value.  Edited by DVCollector

I exclude that seller using Advanced Search because I got tired of sifting through pages upon pages of his listings.

He listed over 8000 V nickels too. Must have been automated, but they still needed to take pics.
Wonder what his listing fees were?

Look at the 1859-79 subgroup and you will see the same two coins show up 7x each as multiple listings, each ending one day apart. I suspect that is true for all the rest. Probably, if any get bids, he cancels the other auctions of the same exact coin? Wonder if this was done intentionally or a problem with his automated program?
What if two people happen to bid on the same coin that ends on two different days though? Then he's stuck- can't give the same coin out twice! Looks like that could trigger negative feedback on it's own.
Collect all US coins, especially Indian cents and Buffalo nickels

Mycrob, I did not notice he had multiple listings--good eyes, perhaps that explains things! I did not think multiple listings were OK on eBay?  |

It looks like he has a sell through rate of less than 2% from a quick scan of a couple of pages of his completed listing of indian heads

Ebay also just had a listing promotion yesterday for up to 50,000 free auction style listings, so hes likely paying alot less for his listings than you would think.

Doesn't get cheaper than free.
I put a few sets of nice wheats and BU Jeffersons on the other day. Guess those are buried now.

High volume junk = sales to the uninformed. I filter his listings but its becoming too common to have to sift through junk.
