It is a hijacked account and a stolen picture. There are NO coins, in Ireland or anywhere else. The scammer cleans the money out of the paypal account and disappears, and the guy who owns the account has to fight to not lose the money.

This is not an auction, it's a bottomless Buy It Now with 25 days remaining. With BINs being an immediate transaction and claims taking 45 or more days to complete, just think of how many people this seller could rip-off before he's stopped!

AND if you look, the seller has only 3 feedbacks as a seller, NONE are within the last year, and NONE are involving selling coins.

Avoid this one like the plague.

I give the guy credit; he's persistent. He's been hijacking accounts to post this auction, and we've been shooting him down, for months.

not risky guaranteed




The last sale this seller had was over two years ago. The money will clear and you will not get the coins IMO

Further more, the seller has multiple lots for sale yet claims "See the pictures of the actual coins you will receive"


BOGUS!

His last auction was Jan. 2010. Less than two years.

Sorry... I'm a stickler for details.

18 lots sold at this point but if you look at the buyers that have bought it shows they never bid on this item.0 bids That's strange

OR the coins sold out... hard to tell exactly. It says 20 were sold, so it could go either way.

No, ebay got him. They're actually actively watching for him now.

he usually has like 100 lots in his auctions and usually it sells 30-60 lots before ebay shuts them down. This has been happening regularly as Dave said above. I know this type of BIN has been posted at least 6 times on this forum alone (not sure about the other coin forums). They never even change the pictures from auction to auction, its definitely a hijacked account and you will receive nothing
