To quote myself... Quote: many years ago during lean times, I sold my soul to raise some needed cash.
I shopped around and made the best deal I could.
Unfortunately I'm a little dyslexic.
Instead of Satan, I ended up selling to Santa...
But it's worked out well. November and December are very very busy... And I can't say (word not allowed) or (expression not allowed) to relieve the stress. As a project manager it's pretty normal: impossible deadlines, unreasonable clients. It's hard to tell the paid work from the unpaid. AND I'm immune to the usual soul-sucking grind of the PMO.
For the rest of the year it's like an hour a month of work. Mostly cross checking the naughty list. I tell you, if you are on the naughty list ALREADY in February, it is pretty sad. Only counterfeit coins for you!

May I post a candidate for worst currency on ebay on this thread? How about an INVERTED ONE DOLLAR $1 US Bill Legal Tender COLORIZED 2-Sided UPSIDE DOWN ERROR for only $10.95 with *shudder* over 650 sold?  The description is priceless: This is a very unique Banknote. A very limited number were mistakenly colorized upside down before the error was caught and fixed. For the first time ever, you can own a 2-Sided Colorized UPSIDE DOWN Genuine Legal Tender Colorized $1 Bill. Inverted Stamps and Currency have recently sold in auctions for Millions and Millions of Dollars. The Inverted/Upside Down Currency and Stamps are very RARE! Now you can own a genuine colorized Inverted/Upside Down U.S. 2-Sided $1 Banknote featuring colorized ERROR of GEORGE WASHINGTON UPSIDE DOWN and the STATE SEALS ON THE REVERSE UPSIDE DOWN. This uncirculated $1 Bill is Genuine Legal Tender of the United States which has been color enhanced in ERROR by the Merrick Mint using a specialized advanced technology creating a collectible work of art. The vivid color enhancements to the portrait of George Washington (obverse) and both sides of the Great Seal of the United States to the left and right of the word "ONE" (reverse) bring the bill's original artwork to life. This bill is in Fresh, Crisp, Uncirculated condition and was directly removed from untouched wrapped Federal Reserve sealed pack. Each bill comes displayed in a clear acrylic holder which is viewable on both sides and a certificate of authenticity. I'm glad there's a certificate of authenticity. Don't leave home without one. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Surprised they didn't toss in a replica stamp too... See they put Thomas Jefferson in the Jenny Biplane for the airmail stamp and when it inverted, he fell out.

 Haha! This one is absolutely hilarious! This guy is trying to sell all 3 of these Nickels as Split Planchet errors. These are not errors, just damaged coins worth face value (15 cents for all 3 of them). He's also a new seller, which might explain some things. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3-JEFFERSO...282992964342

I wouldn't usually nominate one of my own coins as one of the worst coins on ebay, but I got so fed up with seeing people listing their pocket change for hundreds or thousands of pounds, that I thought I'd have a bit of fun! So I pulled out some of my own pocket change and listed it 'honestly'... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1971-2p-...AOSw8VNbcAfWIf this persuades one person to stop listing a common UK coin on ebay, then at least it will have done some good...

dang, a mintage of almost a billion and a half? I did not realize that was even possible for a mint to churn out that many. it would have been more entertaining if you had went on and on about how rare the coin is, but I understamd why. and a beginning bid of 2 cents? priceless! let us know if you get any takers. and look at the bright side... about how low your seller fee will be haha. I saw another listing for the same coin who said it was new but it looked like it had been around a thousand hears, with a price of only %80 british (plus postage). where do these people come from?

Haha BigSilver! It's beyond perfect condition. It's heavily circulated. Man, that's one heck of a stupid seller.

Quote: Haha BigSilver! It's beyond perfect condition. It's heavily circulated. Man, that's one heck of a stupid seller. It may be a bit more sinister. The seller's ebay name is davitapi-5. His listing says "Based in United States, davitapi-5 has been an ebay member since May 21, 2017." The listing shows "Item location:McAllen, Texas, United States." I wondered if he had other ebay IDs. Yep davitapi-4 is listed as "Based in United States, davitapi-4 has been an ebay member since Jun 21, 2016." davitapi-3 is listed as "Based in Argentina, davitapi-3 has been an ebay member since Feb 24, 2017." davitapi-2 is listed as "Based in Mexico, davitapi-2 has been an ebay member since May 11, 2017." Troubling.
