Some really ridiculous eBay listings

And of course, if someone actually does fork out £100k, I won't complain.

A link to your website would have been a good idea too....i didn't see one.

ebay doesn't allow a link, unfortunately. The site address is wybrit.com.

Yeah, I know what it is!

I've always had a link to prdecimal.com in my listings. I had had things stopped a few times, but only because I was selling something that was available cheaper by following the predecimal.com link. Maybe the rules are different there.

Perhaps you could put the link in your 'About Me' section?

What makes me laugh is when Ebayers describe coins are rare when they are not, eg "RARE 1967 PENNY- MINT CONDITION!!!!!!" Also I saw an ordinary pound coin up for sale and the seller had described it as "having sentimental value as he got it in his change down the pub" And some people had bidded on it!!!

THEY WILL ALSO SAY "KEY DATE" ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE AN 1889 HALF CROWN OR AN 1853 FLORIN! WHAT I DO WHEN I SEE THAT IS RESPOND IN THE 'ASK SELLER A QUESTION' AREA, AND I WILL SAY "4.8 MILLION MINTED-NOT KEY DATE!" THAT LETS THEM NO THEY ARENT FOOLING ANYONE.ITS ALSO KINDA FUN EXPOSING THOSE CLOWNS!

i think people like to buy and sell coins on ebay mainly due to a lack in accessable coin auctions and the convenience of it all.

i too buy and sell coins on ebay and find that some people or dishonest in their description and postage costs. I always try and give a postage discount when buying more than one coin.

Money, Genuine One Pound Coin

And I quote: " Although I have no actual evidence that this was the actual coin used by Prince Charles to put the deposit down on Camillas new engagement ring, it has got a picture of his mum on the back! ( a bit of a give away don't you think?) "

:wacko:

...and its recieved a bid...!

Hmm! I'll be watching this to see if you have any takers, as I have a few I could sell :huh:

This looks like the typical eBay scam whereby you undersell the item but overcharge on the postage, so that you make a profit after all. Would have served him right if the buyer had decided to save on the postage by collecting in person!

If that's a Matt Proof then 1967 pennies are officially scarce!

I know who that is. I saw one of the older editions go for £111 the other week.

Yes, it sounds expensive - BUT - you need consider the offer as a whole.

50p postage more than makes up for it!

Do people really buy houses on e-bay?

Yes, but when you're talking about mad things in general you can't include Americans in the equation because as they have recently demonstated on the world stage, and I think Axel Rose once put it perfectly when he sang (referring obviously to the rest of his countrymen): 'You're F*!£ing crazy'.

(Points for song and album by the way, and no googling)
