I've see a listing here of community members who sell on ebay. If I ever thought of buying via ebay the seller would have to be on that list.

...could be selling drugs or other illegalities, using coins as a legit front (look at this seller's other offerings..) ... not uncommon on this site ... notice the seller's 0 (zero) sales history & zero feedback ...
...on said site, search "error coin" in the 'SOLD' section, notice how many common error coins have sold for ridiculous prices ... notice that the sellers often have little or zero feedback or sales ...
examples:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/354881016706

https://www.ebay.com/itm/314759458837

...showed these to a Secret Service buddy (who chases bad paper) & he agreed with this assessment ... some type of small-scale money laundering ...

...most agency investigators aren't coin collectors, & coin prices are very subjective...

...these amounts are too small for any agency to investigate, ebay has no way to prove fraud (no complaints from the buyer), & IRS is satisfied, as taxes will be paid on these sales ...

...not just happening here, but happens world-wide on ebay sites ...

...happening locally here, (Memphis TN area), someone on Craigslist offering Susan B Anthony dollars for only $200 each ... probably illicit drugs or prostitution ...

...what can ya do?...

"interesting sale on those last 2 links you posted"


hey, deaborn ... you can literally find hundreds of these examples in the "SOLD" section on this website's "error coin" section ... not just USA, but European & Australian websites as well ... worldwide in scope ...

..enter "error coin" into the search box, then in the 'Category' selection, (left hand column), scroll down until you see the option for 'Sold Items' ... check that box ... the page will re-load with completed sales, & just look through the 1000 or so listings, notice the similar concurrences ... it's astounding ...

...again, ebay is not involved in this fraud, as there is no way to prove any wrong-doing ... some one (persons) have found a loop-hole to take advantage of ... & as long as the involved parties lodge no complaint, who's to say that it's not legit ...?

All this started when ebay stopped charging fees for listings.

It's the marketplace--a concept/practice that's been around for eons--warts and all. As always, buyer beware.

We have computers in our pockets and can easily look up that an SBA, unless it's a 79 Wide Rim, 1981, or proof strike, is only worth a dollar in circulated condition.
But we live in a sue-happy world and thus ebay and other vendors have to have protections to cover their derriere. Look at how many ads you get for lawyers for fire foam, hernia mesh implants, mesothelioma, Camp LeJeune, etc.
