I've often thought of doing that, but fear someone might actually accept the offer. :o

He only offered £1 for the £1 coin and so not much risk there.

I don't think she appreciates that your offer of £1 is literally a million times closer to the coin's true value than her asking price (of a million pounds).

Delusional behaviour, and the idea that hope changes reality,  used to be only in the deep deep background of society.

Now, with every idiot on the web, on the same level as all others, the world is mad. As mad as all back streets in Victorian cities were.

I don't waste time worrying  or commenting on these idiots.

No point whatsoever.

Inverted die axis too on the 1933 - which helps.

Can anyone answer this for me, I'm looking at a current eBay auction and specifically at the bid history - in this case, each bid (including the current one) is described as 'private listing' whereas normally one sees a list with a few letters and asterisks denoting different bidders. I've never seen that before, can anyone explain.

The item has been marked as a 'private listing', so even less can be seen of the bidding than usual.  Private listing to me equates to stay away.

When a seller is listing any item he has the opportunity to tick a box marked "private listing" in which case all bids are completely anonymous. I can't see any legitimate reason to do this, but some sellers use it.

While not every ‘private listing’ seller is of dubious character,  those of poor character almost invariably make their listings  private. As suggested I suspect this is to enable shill bidding. There is no need for it.

Thanks for the feedback - yes, on reflection I agree it's wise to steer clear of these.

"feedback" is the shortest English word with the first six letters of the alphabet in it.....

😐 smaller coins are tougher to picture for this seller, one picture could be their own and the other picture from the previous seller 😋
