I hope nobody here got taken by this guy. Judging by the feedback, he sent photos of the coin, not the coin itself. Horrible.

Photographs for your judgement.

I don't see anything wrong with this. He clearly said photos.

However, that is a shame. To work that hard to get 1700 feedback, and then to go and ruin it in that manner. Terrible.

Really? Without a doubt that is the most deceptive, crooked scam I have ever seen on ebay. Do you think any sane human being intends to pay THOUSANDS of dollars for a PHOTO of a coin?!

At least on the 'unsearched' rolls and jars, and crackouts you at least get a coin.

Also, the exact quote the seller used:


Quote:
Description

Photos for your judgement.


That doesn't state to me, 'These are photos of a coin', that would IMPLY that the photos uploaded are for the coin.

Look at the 400+ sales this account has had recently, someone pocketed at LEAST 50k. I sure hope ebay makes it right with the buyers.

As scummy as I have ever seen.

The scam artist is buying some very nice coins with the $ he's bringing in. It'd be interesting to see where those PCGS holders end up.

Look at the very bottom of that giant wall of text he called a description. He says:


Quote:
The poster sizes for the sale of this lot may vary,but approximately are two hundred ten millimeters on two hundred ninety seven millimeters.


That's pushing it as a disclaimer.

Because it's likely a stolen account and the account holder is trying to be contacted.

Here is a pair of actions, but the photos are not the same. Where did he get the photos?

This goes on in all categories, I've seen it at least twice on Judge Judy. Seller loses every time.

In his feedback there are links to several recent purchases of slabbed coins - including gold.
I bet those slabs end up back on the Bay from another account soon.
