azda Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Here's one from our favourite seller. This was listed as a BIN for £1300 i think it was, now he's auctioned it. Winning bidder is one of his friends called sonofcork with a 410 feedback, he's from Australia. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111334115261?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D111334115261%26_rdc%3D1 Quote

How do you know who the winning bidder is it just says private on mine? Edited April 27, 2014 by Nordle11 Quote
azda Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Not if you use an apple product, plus the seller has been noted for 18 months or so for certain practises which helps the prices of his auctions.He had several people who helped things along and the person i mentioned was one of those who always bidded but seemed to just miss out everytime. He must be one of the unluckiest ebayers ever. Quote
Nordle11 Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 I see..Thanks for that anyway, I'll unwatch his 1932 if that's going to be the case. Quote
azda Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Its normally the case with rarer high grade coins. He seems to think he must get Spink book prices plus for the rare stuff even though he's buying for less. Its a case of be careful as its sometimes overgraded/dipped. Its your choice to bid or not, but most of us on here know him well. 1 Quote

MRD Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 I see..Thanks for that anyway, I'll unwatch his 1932 if that's going to be the case.Just place a bid for what you think is a fair price, you may well get it. Just don't get caught in a bidding war. Quote

Gary D Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I've bought a couple of coins from him and have just set up a snipe for my maximum. I recall getting my last coin from him for under my snipe so I was happy. Quote
davidrj Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 The golden rule for all auctions, decide your highest bid and stick to it - virtually everything I buy on Ebay is via a snipeDavid Quote
Coppers Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Hmmm....http://www.ebay.com/itm/1963-Elizabeth-II-Penny-SUPER-RARE-P-/321357582916?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item4ad2679244 Quote
Nordle11 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 It annoys me more than anything when looking at a coin prefixed with "Rare" or "Error" but no explanation as to what the rarity/error in concern is..Is it because it's a proof? (read:it's not a proof) Quote
Nordle11 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Not with the prices he's listing his coins under! Quote
RLC35 Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Hmmm....http://www.ebay.com/itm/1963-Elizabeth-II-Penny-SUPER-RARE-P-/321357582916?pt=US_World_Coins&hash=item4ad2679244JMB4Home, and GBC Coins are the same Company. They have a "Ton" of Great Britain Coins, including some really scarce coins. The only problem is, they want at least twice what something is worth! You can see their entire list at www.GBCcoins.com. They do visit some of the large coin shows here in the U.S., and when you visit them at the show you are sometimes able to get them to arrive at a much better price. Fred at GBC pays his partner to handle the eBay online sales, thus the need to get a little more $ from eBay sales. Anything you see advertised on eBay you can probably see for sale on the GBC site also. With all that said, they are nice people to deal with. Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 This is so confusing...1248-50 but actually 20th century... Quote
TomGoodheart Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I don't get it. 331185740865Can nobody else see that it reads +TOWER OF LONDON????? Quote
Nordle11 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I just like this line.."Looks silver but I am not a metallergist so there are no returns on this item"Hahaha, is that the general rule of returns? Quote
Peckris Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I don't get it. 331185740865Can nobody else see that it reads +TOWER OF LONDON????? Message sent to seller, I advise everyone else to do the same. Quote
VickySilver Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) I have no quarrel with GBC as they have quite a listing - admittedly much of it dross - but have gotten some nice pieces from them and they have on occasion been amenable to bargaining. I got not long ago the very nicest 1847/6 groat I have ever seen, something I had been looking for these many years.That is a lovely play with the "Tower of London" bit there....
