I have been looking around ebay this morning and found a few good laughs that I wanted to share. The following are my TOP 10 direct quotes. Seller 1. a great price on these hard to find Barber coins There were over 10,000 Barber coins total in this purchaseYep, sounds hard to find to me..... Seller 2. (1) SILVER DOLLAR with every lot purchased ANY single lots purchased that do not have a SILVER DOLLAR (Peace or Morgan) WILL HAVE at LEAST Two(2) 1964 or earlier HALVES included in their LOTSeller 3. LINCOLN Wheat penny COLLECTION--COMPLETE Comes with a New high quality coin album, with some empty spacesSeller 4. LISTS FOR A HUGE $27,500 BUT YOU DECIDE WHAT IT IS WORTHWhat else can I say about this one  Seller 5. PACKETS OF GOLD NUGGETS(NOT DUST) STRAIT FROM NATURE Does gold come from someplace else? Seller 6. 2004 S Silver FL Cameo PF70 (two, consecutive serial numbers- VERY RARE) !! With the future of circulated SBA Dollars in doubt, get these NOW The newer years (2004) are worth less than older years but probably will DOUBLE their value in one-two years Stunning Coin that should grade at least PF68 and probably higher If anyone bids during the first 24 hours, I will throw in an old GOLD COINWhat a sales pitch! Should be selling coins on TV Seller 7. ALL BOOK VALUES ARE QUOTED FROM https://www.PCGS.COM PRICE GUIDE NOTE: WHILE WE GUARANTEE THE HIGHEST QUALITY "BU" COINS FROM OUR VAST INVENTORY, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THE HIGHEST CERTIFICATION POSSIBLE IF SUBMITTING TO A THIRD PARTY GRADING COMPANY AS GRADING IS SUBJECTIVE AND VERY SELDOM WILL YOU GET THE SAME GRADE IF YOU SEND THE SAME COIN IN TWICE. Seller 8. OLD COINS UNDER FLOOR IN OLD HOUSE!Must have been one heck of a house as this same line is used 91 times. Seller 9. RARE 1913 V nickel! PROOFLIKE REPRO I guess that someone somewhere believes this one. This seller offers many reproductions (of course most are not listed that way), they also sell "how to be a coin dealer" 11 page pamphlets. That is with the bargain price of $12.95 "Which American coins to buy right now is also available for the bargain price of $12.95 Not a bad "How to get rich" idea. 11 pieces of paper (computer printed) for $12.95 + shipping. Seller 10. THIS HAS TO BE MY FAVORITE! 900%Silver-Coin-Rare I DONT NO ENYTHING GOD BLESS AMERICAN WE DUE NOT TAKE PERSONAL CHECKSThis "mensa" candidate has a current feedback rating of 1402 with 99.9% positive.

Did any of these sellers mention being a door to door salesman that turned to ebay after being shot at so many times?

Here are some more. Seller 1. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...3441737&rd=1Seller claims it may be 10 years before you see another one for sale. ebay has 38 listed. Got to love the grading skills also.Seller 2. 1922 d Lincoln Wheat cent rare coin Seller 3. Because we don't know what we are sending, we do not take returns Seller 4. Receive a Free Bonus GOLD COIN. GOLD COIN MAY BE U.S., FOREIGN OR TOKEN Seller 5. If you watch my sight you know I am not a collector or deler of coins Here is my new favorite. Seller: I CAN SAY UNSEARCHED AND MEAN IT!! I SEE SOME IN THE TEENS,20'S AND 30'S SOME STEEL AND EVEN A FEW INDIAN'S VERY FEW. YOU WILL GET AT LEAST 10% PRE 1940. YOU WILL GET A REAL GOOD MIX. Must be a psychic.

Sadly, it was frustration with some of the recent ads that brought me here! I had run across the spurious National Gallery Grading Co. (think I have the wording right) and was searching for info that would confirm what I suspected about such snake-oil sales. When I run across a barely literate ad on ebay it's one thing; to encounter such unscupulousness in person is really off-putting.

Welcome heydave,
Frustration can be a valuable teacher. You have found a good group here. If you wish to learn, there are many here willing to share a little knowledge.
