Just a link to one of their dodgy items will do, or even just the ebay item number. I check all their listed items, sold items and also their feedback.

I might even send them a message pointing out the fact that their so called 'error' is not an 'error' but PMD.

If you can determine that someone is doing something which is deliberately trying to rip people off (eg the "jesus" $1 PMD coin with the free yak bone) then those people should not be dealt with at all - they may well pull some other deliberate rip off.


When everything the seller lists is ?able, and their tactics are ?able, you have a MO that is pretty conclusive.

Didn't know can openers were used in the mint to produce coins.

This is definitely one to avoid like the plague. No good trying to check feedback, all items show as private.

Returns not accepted, and he's already on my list.

I think the seller is hoping that some Bidiot will pay the asking price. It's been in his listings since Jul 2009.

The second example ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/SCARCE-MULE...em33746d5b68 ) looks a lot like the counterfeit $2 coins discussed in http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=13718
In particular, look at gxseries coin.

The flat relief of the reverse of the coin and the poor detail on the obverse is a "giveaway".

The $2 coin has been removed Hmmm.

Here a nice 2 cent bottle cap or similar error,the seller also has an odd 1 cent that is questionable too.

Try this link:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...p=true&rt=nc

Both links were for $2 coins, with the words 'mule like' in the description, and turns a $2 coin into over $30 - $40, so as long as there are uneducated buyers, this sort of unscrupulous deception will continue.

About 6 years ago, a fairly well respected seller with at least 2 ebay ID's for selling was using this terminology, and one buyer paid over $60 for a 'mule like' $2 coin. I emailed the buyer and set them straight, but don't know if the money was refunded or whether the buyer even asked for a refund. The seller's two ID's are still registered with ebay, sells many thousands of coins per year, so it just goes to show that being an unscrupulous scoundrel can pay off.

I did manage to get him barred from a now defunct Australian forum for his deceptive ways.
