mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 09/08/2011 12:22 pm Take a look at this already sold item by this seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/130564617810 Now take a look at this new item up for sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LARGE-US-SI...em1e669c1779 Three pictures in common with both auctions. Winning bidder on auction #1 leaves positive feedback, but notice only 3 transactions. One of the previous 2 transactions with same seller but more than a year earlier. What do you all think- shill bidding/shady? Also look at the bidding pattern in the first auction- mostly newbies bidding the item up.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/08/2011 12:40 pm Yeah...obviously, somebody cannot win coins that are pictured in two auctions--or perhaps nobody will. That should be reported. I'm just as leery of a high-ticket auction that states "TOO LARGE TO INDIVIDUALLY LIST BUT WILL GIVE YOU THE OVERVIEW". Who in their right mind would bid $$$ on that?

bjones Valued Member United States 304 Posts	Posted 09/08/2011 1:16 pm Can't imagine how much ebay charged him in seller's fees on that $14k. Report this Post to the Staff
cointagous Pillar of the Community United States 1143 Posts	Posted 09/08/2011 1:45 pm You are correct they are the same photos in both auctions. If you want to buy that much bullion then I would go buy it in person or from a well known dealer in pm's. Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 09/08/2011 2:44 pm cointagous has the right idea. You want a reputable source with whom you can verify the products in person. ebay is hardly the right environment for precious things. Report this Post to the Staff
