Ebay's Worst Offerings

Recommended Posts

It gets better. The errors were pointed out and the problem is quote THANKS ROB. BLOODY AUTO LIST MANAGER TOOL. CHANGED TO MANUAL MUCH SAFER. REGARDS RICH

Clearly you can't trust computers these days. They insert wrong dates, wrong monarchs, changed George VI's wife's name to Mary or changed William's to George and to cap it all it appears that the coin is now cupro-nickel and a VIP proof!! - with more emphasis on the cupro than the nickel if the washed out colours are anything to go by. Must be the computer's fault. I wonder what the original coin was with the initial description? I don't normally use emoticons, but I wish there was one with a sad look shaking it's head.

Do these people really exist or is someone just taking the p***????????????????

At least shilling is spelt correctly and the KN obviously refers to knochwurst. Ja ?

Gotta give this one a little credit. Perhaps he is referring to the base-metal content of the crown, which in German would be kuper-nikel.

You may have a point there. I suppose I had better apologise fully for any insinuated thoughts. Never mind, there will always be another one along soon.

If its a speaking coin then it is rare....probably AngloDeutsch.

The last 3 coins would be woth more with a hole drilled in them to become washers.

You see some stuff that people bid on and you have to ask why?

Why would anyone want to pay 50p to get rid of a 1p coin? Why don't they just throw it away?

On this basis my duplicates have just increased by over 1000% each.....still at least this one can spell....

I love Ebay :D:D:D Rely on this kind of thing to help dispel the new year blues...

Only a lot wide of the mark as opposed to being greedily and hopelessly over-ambitious. There's hope yet!

One day someone will list a 1952 or 54 1d at £7.99 in NF.

Actually I saw a 1888 inverted 1 Double Florin once but I was amongst the masses :(

And it will probably sell for under a tenner. I listed an 1826/2 shilling once and it sold for £1.71. Even in dire grade it had to be worth more than that. Still, Footandankle was happy. What is it about ebay that enables a piece of crap worth literally nothing other than scrap value to sell for £10, 20 or 30, yet start a piece worth £10 for £4.99 or even £1.99 and it doesn't sell because you didn't start at 99p?

It's the fact that Ebay attracts all sorts of buyers,not necessarily coin collectors, who think they see a ''bargain''(and no doubt will try to sell it on in a week or two)and will bid daft money for poor coins-also that you cannot put a reserve price on an item unless it's valued at over £50,so it's a real gamble to list good coins that start low,despite the possibility that it might encourage bidding....

£175 with 30 days to go for a VF penny catalogued (in 2004) at £40 seems strange - unless there are a lot of people out there with bags of Chrismas present money (or refunds) :o
