Ebay Lunacy Of The Week

Adding to this topic, I hope this turns out well for buyer and seller. It seems to be more legitimate.

I would not personally buy large groups like this via ebay but looks like others will.

Hey, if you are willing to risk it...

The listing is NOT in any way shape or form deceitful. I and many other roll hunters have found exactly what is pictured there. There are absolutely no lies in the listing. There are several points where it is stressed no guarantee of silver. The rolls ARE unsearched. I just got done going through 500.00 worth of unsearched rolls. Granted, I am smart enough to go get them from a bank at face value. But there are plenty of people out there who can't get boxes from their banks. For that matter, the boxes I get that are the exact same rolls as he is selling, the bank charges me a 25.00 per box fee.

So this guy goes out there, gets a box of halves and offers them up for sale in a completely honest and straight forward manner, and you decide to call his honesty and integrity into question? Why not save your righteous outrage for the REAL scam artists?




Are you serious? I can't begin to count how many threads about seeded penny rolls have been posted here.

I just searched penny rolls on ebay. Here are the first two listings:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unsearched-...em27cd02385f

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unsearched-...em25777a5871

So tell me how THOSE postings are escaping your holy wrath? THOSE are deceitful listings, and as I said, ones that have been talked about here ad nauseum.




So? We have found that and more in one box. My wife found a 38D amongst dozens of other silvers in one box. It happens. Again, he says flat out no guarantees. NOTHING deceitful.

And why exactly should I frown upon it? Again, it is spelled out clearly what is being offered. How is a clearly written truthful listing designed to "sucker" anyone? As long as you are capable of reading, then there is no suckering involved. And that means that I am not a serious collector then? And just where is this rule book (because if you can say something like serious collectors there has to be a rule book that outlines the qualifications) located? I would love to see a copy of it.

Two things that I said above should not be overlooked:
1- "... anybody who wants to is free to see this offering however they want to see it. They're also free to buy as many of these rolls as they'd like to spend $18 a copy on."
2- Everybody who feels this is a legit, A-OK and defensible offering should definitely act on their convictions and buy the product being offered. After all, like the man said -- "THIS IS A GREAT WAY FOR VETERAN COLLECTORS AND NEW ONES ALIKE TO HAVE FUN AND MAYBE FIND A GREAT PIECE OF HISTORY!" -- and -- "Franklin, Walking Liberty and Kennedy 90% silver coins are possible! 40% silver Kennedy coins are possible as well!"

I do honestly sympathize with anybody who has to pay a $25 per box bank fee to obtain boxes of coins. That's really awful. I'd find another bank or another hobby if I was looking at that.

Freddy, not sure how you are managing to get boxes without paying. Capital One as a whole will no longer order boxes at all. It takes a virtual act of congress with most BOA branches. Burke and Herbert charges if they will do it at all. PNC won't order them at all. Sun Trust is hit or miss. I have 6 bank accounts for this and can only get boxes for free from a single branch of a bank. I have yet to open an account with Wells Fargo to try there.

Your whole post, and its intention is to call out this individual in a negative way. I have no problem if you want to take on those penny sellers or the Morgans for 20 bucks scammers. But when you start smearing someone who is operating aboveboard, and CLEARLY so, then I do have issue.

erkle, when your offered opinion is "serious collectors frown upon it" that automatically infers those that don't frown upon it are not serious collectors. When someone says I am not a serious collector simply because I don't meet their personal set of standards, I do get testy.

Broseph, huge difference here. Those guys put up a listing where they mentioned it was an empty box buried in the description in small print and only in one spot with the clear and obvious intention of scamming people.

Here you have a guy saying hey, here is what I have found in these rolls. You may find it, you may not, no guarantees. WORLD of difference.

There have been MANY examples of selling boxes, some were explicit. The internet has many people on it. Somewhere along the line someone who doesn't know better will waste their money if enough people put up dumb listings.
