There is not enough information to make a bid.

 He is leaving it wide open as to not get pinned down with his description. I stay away from these sellers as should you. |

i bought it thinking I would get an pounce of silver in coins. now, if you bought it for that price, and you got a 72 CLAD ike and 3 Mercury dimes, what would you do? |

Adam, You're brave enough to take the chance, all you can do now is leave a feedback for what's it deserve. If you haven't receive the coins in question, I would chat with a ebay representative and voice your concern with seller feedbacks that other buyer had left. |

i already got the coins, I saw what I got and a am taking action, I filed an ebay dispute. i bought these for $20 total. I'm not going to leave feedback because in doesn't do anything. I told the seller either send what I paid for and ill send the ike and the dimes back and ill leave PFB, or refund me an ill send PFB also. |

the 93% Positive feedback would have been enough for me not to bid even if the thing he said that some 72 ikes would be in to make the weight even though 72 ikes aren't silver wasnt

Did you actually read his feedback before you bid? He has sold several of these lots with the buyers leaving negative feedback. The description itself caused me to wonder how many Ikes are in an ounce, and what the balance in silver coins would be. I'm cynical by nature, so as soon as read the description I thought, wow, what a scam.

Filing a dispute is going a little too far without requesting a refund first. He didn't specify what you'd get and with that kind of feedback I'd have run away from the auction. I would personally just ask for a refund, and if he refuses than I'd file a claim, although there's a chance you won't win since he didn't specify one ounce of silver. I unfortunately doubt the seller cares about his feedback, that's got to be one of the worst percentages I've seen.

I like the stock photo of random pocket change. What kind of a bottom is that? Shouldn't it be darker and with more shadows? It even looks photo shopped.

ebay is a cesspool of scammers and lowlifes. To ebay's credit, they seem to do a pretty good job with their buyer protection, but that just leads that scum to be as vague as possible, combining bad grammar and a lack of specific details to mask the fact that they're out to screw people. My own personal rule on that site is only buy when a) very specific details are listed, so that if something goes wrong, the seller will be held accountable, and b) the seller's feedback is stellar. Granted, the latter doesn't guarantee anything, but I've found that 99%+ sellers usually get that way because they care to treat their customers right, and will fix problems when things go wrong, which saves the hassle of filing a claim w/ebay. This auction should have set off warning bells for the start - a dodgy description, and a seller with terrible feedback.
