Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 06/22/2014 5:16 pm Thought that this would be a fun topic! Post some ebay listing of items that never seem to sell but the owner continues to relist them anyway. The following lot has been on ebay for seemingly forever (at least 5 years) and has never sold, perhaps for good reason as some of the coins pictured seem to be cleaned, have problems, and there are very few photos of the coins for sale to justify the high price tag. http://www.ebay.com/itm/early-Ameri...em35d7978607 Report this Post to the Staff

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5202 Posts	Posted 06/25/2014 9:23 pm This is a problem as of a few years ago when ebay stopped charging an insertion fee. Anyone can list any garbage over and over at no loss to them clogging up the searches. In the good old honest days at 35 cents per insertion if it didn't sell after 2 or 3 times paying the fee and losing out the seller would get the message to lower their price. Not true today. I wonder what the record for the number of times an item has been relisted without selling is? Report this Post to the Staff

I have seen several listings that have never gone away, but they are quality coins from reputable sellers that cost millions of dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 06/25/2014 11:17 pm I watched one of those, posted for months and months as "RARE", BIN $300, hoping the seller would come to his/her senses. After many months s/he did and it went for under $20 with just one bid. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
