It's an honest add. He's just selling a worthless copy.

"worth" is in the eye of the beholder. Unfortunately many times he is not well informed, ie TV coin purchasers.

The coin isn't rusty... Quote:
little rusty just started a collection, hook him up! from the way I read that ad..."Rusty" is a person, probably a child, not the condition of the coin. |

Yes, nothing wrong with the ad. Some counterfeits can go for a lot of money, and certain people buy certain items.

Chinese Junction Box Coin!!

Well someone out there will probably think it is worth having(because they will mistake it for a chinese "error" coin), but when I was an electrician's apprentice we threw these away every day, by the hundreds. If I knew that they would bring a price like that, I would have sold them and I'd be a multi-millionaire.

lol - if someone buys that junction box coin for even $2 - I'm heading out to the construction sites and taking a big satchel with me!

I think the Plug guy is just making fun of bidiots.. I hope he does sell it.. Maybe the Chinese will see it and start really counterfeiting them too! OH, wait they probably already make the boxes we use.. I remember a long time ago a guy was selling a box of air on ebay.. another guy sold sawdust by the bag fulls.. and PEOPLE were bidding! |

I used to be able to get it and the local cabinet manufacturer but not they they package it up and sell it to another company that makes wood pellets for stoves. One companies waste product is anothers raw material. I use it as a sweeping compound for drying the back shop floor and absorbing oil spills. |

I always keep a sandbag full of a saw dust and lighter fluid mixture in the back of my truck with a fire starter. It is part of my "just-in-case kit".

It clearly says copy in the title and copy is also the first word in the body of the ad. $10 may be more than you think it is worth but it is hardly outrageous and he is upfront with that price.
It is simply a case of if you don't like it or the price, don't buy it!
