Guest custard1966 Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 how about a thread for the most 'optimistic' vendor on e-bay?This one caught my eyehttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...0&category=339740 very average 20th century pennies for £250 (!)Surprisingly, there have been no bids yet... better hurry.

Chris Perkins Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 To quote the ebay 'seller':'Its a very good chance to complete a penny collection, or indeed a 'head' colllection.'Well I'd love a collection of head! You'd probably get a lot of head for £250! Really pisses me off when I see the old car salesman phrase used when describing coins....'Good condition for age'!!! Crap, they should be in perfect condition regardless of age!Chris Quote

Guest custard1966 Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 spotted another couple todaythis onehttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...3&category=3397wants £50+ for a coin without providing a pictureand this one really takes the breath awayhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...8&category=3397£75 for this set of reproductions (£300 buyitnow!)when Colin Cooke still sells them for £32.50http://www.colincooke.com/coins/cartwheel_...s/cartwheel.htm Quote
Emperor Oli Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 A "head" collection: Talk about dumbing down! I can't believe he expects £50 without a picture, let alone for an 1892 penny! These people have absolutely NO IDEA! Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 11, 2004 Posted January 11, 2004 That's what happens when amateurs are free to sell any specialised item to a global audience with no experience. And ebay laugh all the way to their American bank.Chris Quote
Guest custard1966 Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 and I really loathe these oneshttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...6&category=3397 Quote
Chris Perkins Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 I'd use the trading descriptions act with that one, and demend he sent me the 3 coin gold Britannia set shown in the picture!They just waste space on ebay for when your actually looking for a serious item.Chris Quote
Emperor Oli Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 He's got a "0" feedback rating so that tells you a lot! I remember a few months ago I say another £1 up for sale - supposedly from the set of Eastenders and held by one of the "actors". The last time I looked the bidding was at...........£40! Quote
