Another Jarring Offer.

Few stranger ideas have been posted.

This jar thing is just crazy. Do these people even have to make up this stories to make a huge buck? What if I bought up a large stockpile of silver dimes/quarters and whatnot and stuffed them into a mason jar myself? I mean put them in naturally, and take some good pictures and remark about how the entire jar is chock full of silver coins. I'm not the scamming type, but I'd be curious to see what would happen if someone tried to sell a jar full of silver coins without a bogus story, just disclaiming with convincing pictures that the jar is full of silver? Seen as how these people are bidding for something they can't even see, I can totally see it. I'm not going to do it though. It's just a thought.

These posts are getting lid-flipping ... "dejar vu"

I have looked at a few of these sales, I keep a jar on my desk that I dump my change into, my jar/container if very dirty inside. Coins and bills are very dirty and all these jars I see are very clean, it does not appear to me that these coins have been in these jars for a very long time. I think its great marketing, and all of the buyers feedbacks I have read are positive. I would never do this, I do believe it is somewhat deceptive. The jars (empty) from estate sales and the coins from another estate sale, combined together are from an estate sale. Play on words, hopefully most are bidding on what they see in the jars, I wonder how many are not genuine coins, I bought a lot once of mixed coins and the Trade dollar I received was a fake. I didn't realize it until I sent it in to be graded, It was years after I purchased it so I had no course of action to take. I was too trusting and didn't check it out when I received it. I was really excited that I had my first Trade dollar. I would suggest to anyone purchasing these types of auctions to check every coin right away, to protect themselves. I personally would stay away from these types of sales.
