Ebay Contest

I have won a couple. I won the silver proof set from their last set of auctions.

I bought something from them before and was just looking through what they had and in one of their listings I saw a few hints about a month ago that they were going to do this. I then had to find out which day and time...which was hidden throughout a few of their listings

I cannot even find their store on ebay

domino's did a contest like this a few years ago. My wife became mini-obsessed with it and managed to snag a DVR player/recorder for $9.99. She was very proud of herself.

I missed a few by a few milliseconds. Got to click the big one at .99 cents. Then that darn "commit to buy" option comes up, click it...item sold . My heart was pumping for a few minutes after that.

He doesn't have any more items for sale now.

For those who were wondering what was in the package.. I received it last week and finally got a chance to look through. Nothing too crazy in there but as a relatively new collector, it was nice to get some coins to help build/bolster some of the date sets I've been working on. Most coins received were circulated and in varying conditions. Regardless, for $0.99 I'm happy to get whatever's coming to me! Here's the breakdown:


-2 loonies (95,09)
-43 nickel dollars (mostly 1976,1978,1979 and some 80s. The 70s ones were all MS)
-2 RCMP 1973 silver dollars

-2 half dollars ('70, '80) both MS
-3 USD half dollars - 40% silver

-44 quarters - various commemoratives

-11 various dimes - mostly MS taken out of date sets from the 70s, still in the plastic

-241 nickels - mostly King George:

There were some other random date pennies and one 1940 Wheat penny, as well as 2 rolls of 2012 pennies.

Included was also:
7 date sets - 1964 (silver), 1968, 2x 1970, 1974, 1977 and 1986 as well as one roll of half dollars

There were also some random misc. foreign coins.

In total it was about $125 in face value - not bad!

Wow! that is quite the haul for 99c!
