mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 03/17/2008 1:58 pm What is interesting about this is that it has a bid on it from someone with >800 transactions and the seller has 80% postiive feedback. I would think that someone with >800 transactions would stay away from this auction with a 10 foot pole. But not this propsective buyer. I will go out on a limb and suggest "shill bidding", but now that all bidders are essentially private, you can never check this, can you? I think this is just the tip of the iceberg of the rampant shill bidding that will occur now that bidders' names are private. http://cgi.ebay.com/1942-Mercury-Dime_W0QQitemZ 260220519254QQihZ016QQcategoryZ41092QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Edited by mycrob 03/17/2008 4:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 03/17/2008 2:33 pm Uh...the current bid is $5K and still "reserve is not met"?! For a coin worth a few bucks?! It's not even a 42/1. Can anyone tell me what these bidders are smoking--is a new, mind-bending drug rendering people senseless? Update: I reported this because the seller claims it's PCGS certified, but he hasn't provided a proper cert #. Edited by KurtS 03/17/2008 4:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 03/17/2008 5:17 pm I just went back and looked at this listing again and did not realize it had three certification # from PCGS and was an uncirculated PROOF. This is described above the coin. The coin itself in the picture looks circulated to me and is not a proof. Maybe this one needs to be reported? Report this Post to the Staff
justjimrob Valued Member United States 330 Posts	Posted 03/18/2008 08:42 am I also like the "steal" Wheat penny they have for sale for $1,000.00 that is also a PCGS certified uncirculated proof... http://cgi.ebay.com/1943-Steal-Whea...ny_W0QQitemZ 260221414257QQihZ016QQcategoryZ39457QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Jim Report this Post to the Staff
