Not me. But I'm one of those people who likes to know exactly what my money is going towards. I wouldn't really want to end up with a 2007 Lincoln Cent graded MS60, and that's probably what I would get. I've seen these types of auctions before and I don't like them. Too risky in my opinion. I would much rather use that money towards a Maple Leaf, ASE., Panda or silver bullion. But, who knows? I may be wrong. Like Clint Eastwood asked in one of the Dirty Harry movies, "Do ya feel lucky?"

I'm pretty sure "mystery lots" or "lucky dips" like this are against ebay policy. Report it and move on.

I am going to pass on this one, I'm too cheap to gamble my hobby allowance away, I'll save it for specific coins I need.
It would be great fun to look through this hoard !

As opposed to walking away, I'd run away from this one.

My guess is 90% of these coins are worth far less than the slab fee.

It always amazes me at a coin show when I see coins in slabs that are about a $2 valued coin. As stated above, probably the coins you get would be worth less than the slabbing fees. And you get 3 of something you have no idea of what they are.
and again,

Probably most of them are from broken-up modern proof sets.
