I thought they were only worth $1? thanks for that one.  My blood is still boiling about all this, but a couple of Sam Adams summer ales have helped to cool things a bit. |

It's kinda irrelevant; the weekend delays any money processing via Paypal, and they're nuking these auctions before the weekend is over so nobody loses money. The scam only works if it's allowed to let the scammer derive profit from it, regardless of how much cash the marks throw at him (and there will always be marks), and this is too blatant to work as long as we - you and I - catch it fast enough.

Good to know...thanks. My blood pressure is now lower after reading this.  I've use e-bay for some purchases...and I've never had a problem. My brain just can't comprehend those that are willing to spend 3 bills on something like this... I'm 48 years old...and $300 is still a heck of a lotta money to me... My parents monthly mortgage was less than that. |

I can not understand how people can buy these when it says Peace dollars and the description says Morgan dollars. If the crook (seller) can not get it straight then how dense can people be to still but them! |

He's BAACKK! Cannot believe this scam is running yet again... Hacked into an inactive account that was selling women's clothing, that's gotta be a new one! Sold 38 in six hours, proving the point that some people have more dollars than sense.

Well its going to be hard to get final results, unless someone knows how close ? Or ebay will tell ? Last heard 88.Sales... my guess was 98 other members ?.?.?. I win   LOOK guys and gals, we can't stop the auctions.. What we can do is JAM A STICK in the spokes of the fraudulent buycycle every time we see it ! This maybe? best ( I do not know ) accomplished by staying alert  and watchful  reporting seller ASAP . ... Humor will help ! To keep us not     and  therefor and ... some fun must be had  THIS is a very serious problem that is getting bigger all the time.  's for all of us  lets keep the good  and be ready to JAM some spokes   |

No. No, he hasn't. Can you get cash out of your Paypal account, immediately, on a weekend? The only possibility is to immediately buy something with the money, and that's still happening on the weekend when Paypal can easily intervene with the business being purchased from before anything is lost. Nobody's losing any money. |
