Really, are they?

700 dollars for a Dansco Presidential dollar album? With NO coins?
Are people really dumb enough to fall for this kind of thing?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/2543793936...140&LH_BIN=1]

This is just ONE of the ridiculous finds from ebay.

How about almost 3000 dollars for a set of 2009 UNC cents?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/336024830941

What are these kind of people thinking? Crap like this just boggles my mind.

There are no coins included. It's an empty album.

700 dollars for an EMPTY Dansco album? No. These people are smoking something.

That price is for a case of 20 albums which works
out to $28.00 per album which seems fair.

AH. Okay. I get it now.

But I wouldn't be surprised if someone on there charged that amount for ONE whole album. Lol.

What other ridiculous things have people seen like this?

It's the nature of the marketplace. Sellers can set a price. If no one buys, then the seller has options--lower the asking price, withdraw the item(s), etc. Prospective buyers are free to walk.

Have you seen the prices for the ATB albums? If you need one and find one under $50 you better scoop it up or it will be gone. That's why they can charge these prices, supply and demand. Even more rare are BLANK quarter pages, not replacement pages. Finding those are like finding Bigfoot

Yes, yes it is.

My apologies. I had initially thought the listing was seriously for ONE Dansco album.

Here's another ridiculous listing. 1200 dollars for ONE UNC 2009 penny? They act as if the no mint mark is some kind of error or something.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/405093676049

Or better yet, how about 1300 for two 2009 lincoln cents?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/356551748815

How about 400 dollars for a garbage condition 1943 steel penny?

Stuff like this is all over ebay. These unscrupulous sellers think if they dress up a common coin's description and make it sound like it's rare, they can fool an unsuspecting person into buying it for an outrageous price.

"Choice Very Good 2016 Lincoln Cent from a huge unsearched estate lot. Minted in historical Philadelphia, this coin has no mintmark, unlike its slightly rarer Denver counterpart. The 4.7 billion mintage means that very few were saved in this condition. The 2.5% copper content alone makes this coin an incredible investment for those who deal in precious metals and think long term. Lincoln cents will soon no longer be minted which makes this coin a worthy expenditure and a true rarity for the future. Bid now and reserve your place in history!"

[Note: the above is a listing I made up. Sorry if I disappointed you. ]
