Anyone else find this clown's ebay pics with writing and drawing all over the coin holder extremely annoying? And he always has a ton of coins... his antics cause me to completely skip over his auctions whenever I see this, so his ploy to draw attention backfires IMO.

I hate that guy! I search ebay to get an idea of going rates for certain coins and always run into a string of his 2x2s with "Wow coin!" and all kinds of other nonsense all over it. Like does anybody see a sticker saying "Outstanding!" and think "oh man, that's the coin I need!"

But a lot of ebay listings are no different with goofy backgrounds and animated flags and big red fonts and walls of boilerplate text about their business and political philosophy and blurry, tiny, crappy pictures of the actual thing they're selling.

Yeah it's really annoying, but at least he tends so submit his sales in blocks so you can just scroll past.

I have that seller excluded in my Favorite Searches just so I don't have to look at his listings.

I wonder how long it takes him to decorate a flip. Must be worth the time at the prices he's selling.

That's just his version of marketing. It is annoying. Not doubt the successful bidder will put that coin in another holder, with his own details.

I have seen others with these outrageous stickers all over their sale items and I can't stand any of them, it just seems like they are trying to hard to sell their stuff or something to me, I just want to see the coin and do not care about those stupid stickers all over the place. Some of the ones I have seen were on graded coins as well and its just stupid to me, but I guess he has us talking about it so I have always heard there is no such thing as bad publicity

I have seen his coins before too. I believe his prices are somewhat high for the grade the coin is. He does have alot of coins on the Bay though.
