Worst Ebay Scam...

I dont believe its a breaking of any rules, but I am not a forum administrator on this forum.

I will say that, this site probably has a decent SEO (search engine optimization) score. And by linking a lousy unwarranted ebay scam will increase its likelihood to be found by a search engine, because it now has a url link from a reputable site which probably has a SEO rank of 4 or so, if not higher. Now when people search for any word that is in that ebay ad, the chances are that the ebay scam ad will probably climb up the search engine ladder.

I never link stuff that is bad. Even if short lived, the page might defualt to that scammers ebay home page.

It is FAR better to simply put up the ebay or other URL Item number. That will leave the ebay trash at the bottom of the barrel where it belongs.

OK, I confess. I not only do coins, I do SEO and webm astering for my sites. I also do network security for a very important organization, and the CISSP credential helped me learn way too much information. Sometimes the babbling just hits me like a knee-jerk reaction

...but it's graded MS-70.

I guarantee there's not a single 70 coin in it!

Just bums me out...

I guarantee they are all 70's. they mistakenly put the year in the grade.

This is hardly the worst ebay scam, it is just someone who wants way too much for a 1970 mint set that has the 70 S small date in it. The real question is, "Is it actually a small date?". I can't tell from those images and he didn't provide a close up of the 70-S cent. I have no faith in SGS to be able to tell the large from the small date, so it is probably a large date.

Awhile back I won a coin on ebay from a guy in Greece. Cost about $150. He sent me a registered letter that I signed for. Nothing inside but a blank piece of paper. He did the same thing to several others based on his Feedback.

Looking back at the listing it appears he used photos of coins he did not have, but appeared on the web in several places.

ebay did step in and refunded all my money. I should have known it was too good to be true. I bid lots more than my winning bid so apparently others figured out what was going on and didn't bid.
