"The price drop is not unexpected as more coins are being listed on
ebay. Especially by the seller who sold 12 coins and single handedly drove the prices down." I agree.
As such, I had sent this seller the following message several days ago.
Dear saintjohann,
"A week ago you had 3 sold with one remaining. Now you have 9 sold with 1 remaining. Then you had a BIN to boot. Impossible on this coin. Don't know exactly what you're doing or trying to achieve. I'm sure we'll find out in time."
Their recent reply
"Hello, my non-interogatory friend,
"Don't know exactly what you're doing..." Selling coins!
"... or trying to achieve." Again, selling coins!
"I'm sure we'll find out in time." Take a breath and wait no longer; I'm selling coins. What are you doing?
"Then you had a BIN to boot..." No, the listing preceeding your message is, in fact, a buy it now listing. The other listing was an open auction.
"Impossible on this coin." Impossible...precisely how? Flying too near the sun on wings of wax (an apt analogy for your reasoning process) = impossible. Lotsa other things that simply can not be done (e.g., turning fools into geniuses) = impossible. Selling coins = not impossible, my querulous, incredulous Canuck friend!
Some people say that nothing is impossible:
http://stlouis.cbslocal.com/audio/n...-impossible/Please re-read you message. Did you ask any questions? No, not a single one. Did you make a boat-load of assumptions? Sointenly. Next time, ask questions first; check facts second; make assumptions and accusations (if warranted) lastly.
I've been on
ebay ten years longer than you, with a feedback rating multiple times yours. What is it, precisely, that you hope to gain by lecturing me?
This has been your sixty-second thought for the day, brought to you by Richard Evans, LDS. Don't know Richard Evans or never heard his thoughts for the day? Look him up, you be glad you did.
P.S. - I liked your last fishing expedition, er, message, too: "How do you ship here without custom charges." What a question! Asking me to break the law for you, you anonymous, truculent, suspicious old goat you! You don't pay much attention to your own country's taxation and importation laws, do you? (Good thing I do!)
Good god, man, grow up and get a life! Go waa-waa to your mommie if you're so bitter and leave the numismatics to your betters. Or better yet, here's a quarter (non-collectible; it's on a pre-paid calling card), call someone who cares."
Not the most brilliant response
