declan03 Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Another fake seller. This listing finished last night along with another three. He still has two listings to sell. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SILVER-DENARIUS-OF-JULIUS-CAESAR-ELEPHANT-3-65-g-VERY-RARE/123139771645?hash=item1cabb3ccfd:g:DpAAAOSw2VFa9sOJ Quote

"I am not a licensed dealer and can give no C.O.A" He does a very good job of actually saying it's a fake without actually calling himself out. tough for the idiots that bid on it Quote

I do not say I understand that, I do not know when and where it was made. For information, I use the internet. Since I do not know the real price, I pop this item at a 1 cent auction. Yeah, RIGHT. 1 Quote

Excellent, the internet will presumably have also thrown up a lot of talk about copies of Caesar's elephant. There's a touch of Nelson about this excuse. Quote

Unwilling Numismatist Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Fakey 1935 crown - the chinese started knocking these out a couple of months ago and now this idiot is declaring "I have no idea re coins"... apart from how to try and flog fakes of course.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1935-George-V-Rocking-Horse-Silver-Crown-Nice-Coin-free-postage/292584809666?hash=item441f69e4c2:g:EOQAAOSw92RbDm1D Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 And another one. (Different seller) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1935-crown/263724075121?hash=item3d672e0871:g:7P0AAOSw4aZbDlXD Quote
markflorida Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Todays Fake coins. This seller has 9 fake Morgans on one lot and two on another with two Liberty dollars. 1795 & 1804. Selling the second lot for £39. The Liberty dollars would fetch over £70,000 alone. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/tottersindtraders/m.html?item=253657736366&hash=item3b0f2de4ae%3Ag%3A9YoAAOSwO9RbDqNQ&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Quote

Part of the issue I think is Ebay constantly giving free-listing deals - it encourages the chancers to try it on with rubbish fakes in the hope that someone will be taken in, and in the safe knowledge that it has cost them nothing if nobody bites.

whitedb Posted June 9, 2018 Posted June 9, 2018 More fakes, this time Victorian crowns: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Victorian-Crowns-Coins-1898-1899/323292940557?hash=item4b45c2c90d:g:1x8AAOSwxllbGkn- Described as over 100 years old, probably more like 100 days. Quote
bagerap Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Another new gitbay gripe is that if you look up say, 1925 half crown, and then go to Sold Items, something new and exciting happens. If you click See original listing against a Sold item to determine its quality against the one you have for sale; you're going to run into an entirely new and different current listing. It's only been this weekend and I hope that it's just a glitch, but this could be yet another nail in the coffin. 1 Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Noticed it a few days ago ... "The listing you’re looking for is no longer available. Check out this similar item we found for you." erm No ebay, I want to see the "original sold listing" which I went to the trouble of finding, not be shown something completely different. 1 Quote
mrbadexample Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Just another way to mask a seller’s history so you can’t see if they’ve been flogging fakes. Quote

Yes even more reason for ebay to be shut down. This last interference is beyond a joke. Now as you say there is no way to check on past sale as the link initially sends you to the sale with the smallest picture thumbnail in the world . Only when you click "see original listing" does the truth of ebays criminal intent to aid the scammers become visible with a link to something you neither asked for or wanted. Quote

zookeeperz Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) I am always left with a shaking head and a jaw trailing along the carpet when I see the stupidity of Joe public. I don't know how many times this guy has told them this is the proof copy (it isn't it's a fake) there are no official copies as far as I am aware? He then reminds them again at the bottom "this is the silver proof copy" IT IS NOT LEGAL TENDER. It's not legal tender because it is fake and it isn't silver either or proof. it is a nasty knock off It's a chinese knock off the way the guy hams it up as if it is an after thought of the RM to ask someone other than themselves to produce a copy for the poor collectors who don't have one and even worse than that the dumb planktons bought it hook line and sinker @ £22.50 a pop 132 sold. Amazing how thick people can be and how deceitful a sales pitch can be spun to sound genuine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2009-Kew-Gardens-50p-Coin-Uncirculated-Very-Rare-And-Collectable-See-Details/323157513865 Edited June 17, 2018 by zookeeperz Quote

If people want one to fill a gap in their collection and can't afford the highly inflated price for a real one, then I guess wasting £22 for a copy is OK. Seems a bit pointless though for something that isn't genuine. Even with just £22 they could buy some very nice Elizabeth II predecimal real coins. 1 Quote

PWA 1967 Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) They are only buying one coin a year Zoo ,everything else they find in change and so £20 not much to spend. They would probably think it was us with more money than sense and dumb Edited June 17, 2018 by PWA 1967 1 Quote
