Overgraded Ebay Listing

Now that gave me a good laugh!

At least you came clean at the end.

After seeing those I wouldnt worry too much about having to contact a buyer

I wish I had the nerve to do that. That's hilarious, but its a serious statement as to what goes on on good ol' ebay. The garbage that shows up is unreal, and the rip-offs are very very real.

Maybe I'll bid!

Isn't there a place you can click on in the auction to report it to ebay? Has any one ever done this? What was the outcome?

I'm heading to the post office to mail in my can of silver coins to be slabbed. Why? You can read the dates on my coins, therefore I'd expect them to come back MS70 based on this grading system.

I laughed so hard I almost wet myself. Dude, I read the listing and put you on my friends list... thanks for the laugh I really needed it!

Good luck with that auction! LOLOLOL

I am a new morgan collector and buy $200 - $300 per month. I was wondering about those overgrading dealers who list this:

1880-O Morgan silver dollar $ RARE KEY $ BU MS ++++++ $

when the picture clearly shows a smooth eagle breast and they call it BU MS. Rare Key date? come on what is that all about. Do they think we don't have the Red Book?

do they think we are stupid?

I have an ebay rule that I always follow. Never believe anything they say, I grade the coin myself from clear images only. If they cannot take clear photographs (they have have sold 10,000 coins on ebay) then they are frauds. It is not really that hard to take a absolutely great closeup picture with a modern $400 digital SLR and if you have sold 10,000 coins on ebay, then you are a expert, no matter that you say you are not.

I know in other sales categories, ebay used to slap your hands if you described an item with the words "like" or "about" or "almost". I guess ebay has lowered its standards for coin sellers. No kidding, they would not let you even use the words "like new", it either was or was not new. But that was several years ago.

All that being said, I am getting good buys of AU and BU Morgans that I am happy with, but they tend to come from sellers who DO NOT describe them like this:

1880-O Morgan silver dollar $ RARE KEY $ BU MS ++++++ $
