Maybe, but only if were 15.

Yep, same as many other areas of life - greed that can't be stopped. I wonder if any of the big players will eventually be brave enough to announce they are going back to 15% or some such, thus grabbing all the sellers......

No Whitman folder has a space for the 1933, so it's been cut out crudely........

This marleybob is now beyond a joke. I think they've crossed a line now. Is there any way of stopping this twat?

Yes, we've seen some wonderful Viz adverts, but I'm putting this up because the last paragraph about sharing your information was clearly dreamt up by a genius in a pub.

You are right- I just asked the woman who does my mother's cleaning and she looked at me like I'd lost it.....

I have a F28 gap....what condition?

My thoughts exactly!!

Already told them about the 'lustrous unc' 1875 penny. Charlatan.

I've just noticed that the shaft of the spear on the reverse is just in front of Victoria's nose, and the tip of her nose is more worn than I would expect, so, even though the stamp is very clean and sharp, this penny saw quite a bit of circulation after it was stamped...

It's the fact that the punch used must have been expensive to make, so it was either tested on a pocket coin, and was intended to be used on a product or other, or was intended to only be stamped onto pennies, but to what end? Product advertising?

Found this 30 years ago, lost it, and it turned up this morning. I've never been able to find out what the stamp meant commercially....

Thats 'Not Kansas', not 'Not Canada'.....

I wasn't sure if these 'valves' were real, or just LED illuminated dummies, but the description at the bottom is crazy.... ..!https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC12V-6J1-Vacuum-Tube-Integrated-Amplifier-Mini-Audio-Hi-Fi-Stereo-Buffer-Preamp/322459868457?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20150520070957%26meid%3D719a4248ab144089bfeaf885e2cd0be0%26pid%3D100277%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26mehot%3Dag%26sd%3D392328595369%26itm%3D322459868457%26pg%3D2060778&_trksid=p2060778.c100277.m3477

It was one of a group of pennies, low grade fuzzy picture, and I just had an idea it was an ME. The risk was less because the others pennies had £200 or so value to re-sell, so I left £300 bid, and was chased up to that by someone, but they doubted what they saw more than me. When it turned up, I was rather relieved......and pleased.... The F69 was in a group of three pennies, but the picture was fuzzy, except when I looked at 4am, and it wasn't any more. five hours later at 9am it was back to being a fuzzy picture again. Weird. Almost like ebay at that time was having bandwidth problems, so in the middle of the night they could send more info per picture....laft £350 bid, finished at £16. i checked so many times to see if it wasn't true....

Absolutely. Mine was my F69 and the 1926ME in EF..... I do feel sorry for people just starting out in coin collecting- it's such a minefield now.

...and it wasn't a diatribe...!

Yes- I forgot the essential differentiation between dealers and sellers. I also forgot to say how much ebay is just a reflection of general society now- "a world within a world" as you eloquently put it. Everyone, sellers of stuff, insurance companies, telephone cold callers, Members off Parliament etc. now just try to see what they can get away with, knowing full well that the rap across the knuckles they will receive if found out is just that - no deterrent at all........

Hmm... bad day? Peter's view is also mine. I've had enough of the lying Ebay twats, and the arrogance and rudeness when they are found out. You may well have a business that's all peachy and above board ( including the tax returns? ), but be VERY aware, by choosing to sell on Ebay in 2019, what world you are entering, with whom you are rubbing shoulders, and that after many years of putting up with the immoral morons, some people's tar brushes are very wide.........

Hmm...hopeful idiot or shyster??? https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/dorigog0/m.html?item=283536659002&hash=item42041a123a%3Ag%3AP1sAAOSwsU5dE~yv&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
