"Free shipping". It's a good deal, if anyone wants it they'd better buy it now before someone else does.

Another clue -- this ebay user has no seller feedback. All feedback is from purchases. Always amusing. |

Another example of the no listing fee debacle. Of course the lister is hoping for that one truly not-with-it person with mucho dinero to bid on it. No crime-just unethical (as if he cared.)

I sent the seller with the 1953 Cent a question about why he wanted so much for the coin and asked if the coin was special in some way that we couldn't see.
He was subdued in his answer, but said he knew it was too too much to ask for the coin, but he was selling it for personal reasons and thanked me for my question.

As I said, the people doing this do it to avoid fees and move their listings up in the search. They do not expect to get that much for it. Had you sent an email saying hey, I will give you .75 for it, I bet he would have sold. Not that I would pay that when I have half a ton of them, but still.

I would do the same thing if I had no morals. Who wouldn't? Without any morals I wouldn't feel bad if there was some moron who felt like they wanted to buy it. Sure, there's a chance that the buyer wouldn't pay up and I'm stuck with a massive Final Value fee. It will go to arbitration and the result would be that the buyer gets booted out of ebay and I am forgiven the fee. I relist the auction and wait again. It makes me think of the patient spider who spins a web and then just sits and waits... and waits... and waits... -- Boris |

The only way I could see someone buying one of those would be the wife of a billionaire buying it just to get back at her cheating husband.
I once heard of a lady selling a very expensive car for something like a dollar for that reason.

I sorry guys but I could not help myself on this one. I had to ask the seller a question.  Here is his/her response.  |

I thought of another reason they could be doing it, maybe its a way for Alcida and the Taliban to send money to support terrorist cells. When ever the cell needs money they put up a penny for sale and collect the cash via paypal.

Yeah, it's tough to speculate an exact reason.  The seller has a Japanese name--and it sounds like ESL English too. |

I guess it's like the ad campaign to get people to play the lottery: "Hey, you never know."
