Another hilarious seller on ebay is (retailleaderpa). One of his more hilarious sells is this: A 1937-F (yes, he thinks this is an F mintmark) Buffalo nickel all for the very low price of $1,169.99, with 4.99 shipping. Well this is an average Joe buffalo not worth a dollar.

The seller offers a large number of PCGS-graded coins... It could be that they needed another coin to make a certain discount tier that would make all of the other coins submitted less expensive, or they had a coupon for a free/low price submission and decided to use it on the coin offered. (A local dealer I know has experienced both scenarios.)

I wonder if they were thinking they had a good "low ball" candidate?

That would make sense I guess. Or that they needed that one more coins to get to the next discount tier.

Whatever the reason for slabbing, $34 is crazy high for AG grade.

Maybe somebody thought it was some kind of "error" like a lot of new collectors post here on CCF.

To qualify for a "lowball", don't they have to straight grade?

I noticed the ebay payment system is/was broken today. Has anyone else noticed the same thing?

I see a lot of rubbish coins on ebay, but this seller just takes the gold medal for the sheer number of items posted and the standard of the photography...

Ironically, the scarcest and most collectable coin they've listed, a 2011 Olympic Hockey 50p, which might fetch £3 on a good day, is actually one of the cheapest - a real bargain at £50! Which coin catalog are they using to get their prices?
