TWO gold ducats?

Boh are holed, but those are still worth $120-130 each for melt value alone. Am I going crazy? Did I miss something obvious here?


YES.
You forgot one of the main rules of ebay bidding.
"If it looks too good to be true then it probably is"

The other coins look interesting and the tokens are as well so I don't think you wasted your money at all.

If it's a fake, then it's not an Austrian Ducat. Go for a refund once you get them and see what you've got.

People make a living off of the attitude, 'It's only ten bucks, not worth the bother'.

If they are fakes, ebay may refund your money without any return, all you need provide is proof of mailing, in any event.

The two "ducats" were indeed spielmarke, but I was able to flip them to recover most of the cost of the lot anyway. I also won a lot of ancient coins from the same seller that were worth significantly more than what I paid, so I figured I would call it even.
