KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/27/2008 02:51 am I thought I'd post this to alert people about this seller. From what I see, they're using the same coin from an auction 2 weeks ago. Given it's a scarce coin, I find this worrisome. Compare these two auctions. http://cgi.ebay.com/50c-2000-Millen...in_W0QQitemZ 350062084955 http://cgi.ebay.com/50-Cent-Year-20...in_W0QQitemZ 350057515451 Report this Post to the Staff

latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 05/27/2008 03:02 am I have bought from this seller before with no problems, and I have noticed they do sell a lot of these incused 50c, but there also seems to be positive feedback for the ones sold. A bit miss-representative if they use the same details all the time. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/27/2008 03:04 am Perhaps, but that crummy "stock photo" has marks in the same places. If you're not getting that exact coin, but one worn differently, they should specify. I would never sell a coin that way...just a pet peeve I guess! Here in the states, we might call that "bait and switch" if the coin you got was in any lesser grade. Edited by KurtS 05/27/2008 03:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
justabeginner Pillar of the Community Australia 1014 Posts	Posted 05/27/2008 03:09 am True I agree with that... I just thought maybe you were meaning that the coin was scarce and is sold twice meaning that it might be fake.. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/27/2008 03:22 am I honestly didn't know what to think. Same coin, two auctions--what am I getting? Since I take care to provide accurate photos, I just couldn't imagine doing that, lol. At least I'm glad a few of you read this and commented--thanks!

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 05/27/2008 09:32 am G'day, "bait and switch" - nice turn of phrase. My copy of the Criminal Code calls it "Criminal Deception" - very ordinary. Peter Report this Post to the Staff
