Yes, Dave, exactly. I've submitted the report too.

Maybe not yesterday, but possibly in the last few months.........

Nearly as bad as those Andorra coins that one. Reported it also. Appears to be the guy selling one of those dodgy sixpences. Definitely aware of his actions , no mistakes.

Yes, same seller who has the replica sixpence listed. I've reported both.

And an object lesson in photography ... if you want to photograph your coins, wait for a rainstorm...

...Though the liberal application of Brasso may have helped keep out the moisture.

Another copy the seller hasn't even described it as such. In my book a deliberate attempt to deceive. The only saving grace is the quality of the copy is so bad that it would not fool an experienced collector. However perhaps a less experienced collector could be. In any case items such as this are against EBay's listing rules and should be removed.

[Ukstu 436]

Ugly thing ain't it. Never seen one so bad. Reported it! ?

[ozjohn 552]

Yes. I doubt if it will do any good. A large response from members of this forum may produce a more positive result.

I hate seeing people fleeced. I,ve reported it too.

And me, for all the good it'll do. 

[will1976 231]

I've reported it too, if we keep bombarding eBay they might do something

How has the seller got positive feedback on those fakes he has already sold at 30x the price he obviously paid for them? If buyers are paying that sort of hard earned for quite obvious fakes it makes you wonder what their collections consist of and at what cost....

[Ukstu 436]

Well spotted John. Just looked at his feedback. He's sold another 3 equally foul looking things. 

[Michael-Roo 777]

 

Listing ended. Three cheers for us.

[Ukstu 436]

I am adding that guy to my favourite sellers list. That way when he lists his junk it will show in my feed and i can post it here ?

There's sure to be more crap to follow from him. 

[Ukstu 436]

Look at his other listings. Almost everything is a metal detecting find. The description on his " mediaeval gaming coin" is hilarious. His feedbacks diabolical also. Why would anyone buy anything from somebody like that. Smh! 

[declan03 149]

????????????????????????

[bagerap 706]

But come on, he does have 90.7% positive feedback. What more could you ask of a seller?

[argentumandcoins 70]

If only it was a picture of him on the treatment table at Newcastle whilst counting his huge wad of weekly sick pay I would have been in like a shot! 

[Michael-Roo 777]

Although our reports may have resulted in the original listing for this tat being pulled I see it has now been relisted with a revised, though non-committal, description.

[Peter 615]

You can't even message him now.

I've reported it.

[Ukstu 436]

Same here. Reported it again. That description is still misleading. I urge others to do the same we may get it pulled again , hopefully ?
