https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194807015568I'm sick of seeing these listings, an extremely common coin worth about £0.50 and people asking £600 for them, and what's horrible is some poor person will probably buy one every now and then, which is why these scam artists do it. Let's all report this one anyway. I browse constantly on ebay and I am seeing more and more of listings like these.

Nothing to report... As you believe in asking any amount of money for for any item, and if someone buys it then more fool them?

Do you want ebay (or anyone for that matter) controlling what you're allowed to ask for things? I sure don't. Buyers have responsibility too. |

You make a good point but when it is an item such as this then yes I believe they should step in.

Agree--buyer beware. It's the free market place, warts and all.
Now if an online auction business was run out of Pyongyang, there might be some harsh consequences.

Buyer beware, is the old saying Now if you're a seller on ebay, you could put up for sale the same type coin and within the description state that this is a very common coin and not worth ___.(said amount) I recall a CCF member doing something similar. Otherwise....OH Well |

Whenever I run a search of sold items I don't see any sold at high price levels. Don't stress yourself over these things.

I have many times "watched" an overpriced ebay item sit for 2-3 years because it was listed too high. There have been a few times that after a while I have contacted the seller with benchmarks and they have accepted my market appropriate offer. Just let it sit there and carry on. |

Quote:I have many times "watched" an overpriced ebay item sit for 2-3 years because it was listed too high. There seems to be a new selling trend on ebay where a seller will post a Buy it Now coin at an unreasonably high price, then wait for people to add it to their Watch List (usually out of curiosity). The seller then sends out a small discount offer to the Watchers, hoping someone will bite.  |

Here is yet another seller who wants you to believe he has a Cheerios pattern Sacagawea dollar, but this guy is threatening to smash the coin with a hammer if no one buys his treasure. The auction is titled: Sacagawea dollar Cheerios 2000 P/ crazy baby/ Error coin The description states: "The tail has been worn down but the other markers looks like one. It has a strike on the baby that makes it a crazy baby. I will beat it with a hammer before I let it go for less then 10 thousand. I am about to destroy it all." https://www.ebay.com/itm/224920697339 Edited by captainrich

The Sacagawea dollar has been reported. You cannot ask over $2500.00 for a raw coin on ebay. Sometimes sellers will ask a ridiculous amount for a coin to draw attention to there other listings. They don't really expect the coin to sell for that amount. In this case it has probably brought quit a few viewers from this site alone who would not have normally seen what he has for sale. |

Quote:The Sacagawea dollar has been reported. You cannot ask over $2500.00 for a raw coin on ebay. JimmyD, thanks for reporting this auction and getting it removed.  Unfortunately, the seller re-posted the coin and recommends that you "Do your research before you open your pie hole so you do not have to look like a fool. I will not take less then 50 grand for this so if you do not have the coin go play some place else and I will be looking for ebay expert who had my coin pulled from a action and I will ruin him." The auction's new title is: 2000 P Sacagawea / Bad Baby/DDO / very very very very very rare. His new description states: "Hello Buyers. Sorry that ebay pulled my coin off the auction without even reviewing it with me and calling my coin a fake because some people only know how to look at one pic they have seen on a porn site and believe it is true. This is not a replica coin and I will let you judge on what it is and you can go from there. There is a re punch ot the ss at the babys lower chin and one in the eye and fore head. this has created a coin that when held into the light can show changes that are grand. You judge yourself. Now as far as a cheerios coin goes this coin is badly worn and that is why you have to look at the other markers that tell what this coin is and if you pull up the book and even have a clue what to look for then just some tail feathers the I can assure you will find you are not the coin guy you thought you were and just another fool that looks at pictures and have never held a real coin." https://www.ebay.com/itm/224924243469Wow, I'm sorry you got pulled into this Jimmy. I'm reporting him for threatening another user in his auction description.  Edited by captainrich
