Peter Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Did anyone buy it? I really couldn't make it out with wear/luster/weak strike. Quote

You're probably right, Chris. 9 hours ago, Peter said: Did anyone buy it? I really couldn't make it out with wear/luster/weak strike. Yes Peter, it was bought - £14.50 I think. Quote

Coin#addict Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 I buy quite a lot from ebay at reasonable prices. But it never fails to totally amaze me the amount of money Lucido can get for his coins at aucton, even when there are better coins on buy it now. Quote
azda Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 someone came across this website ( https://uk.bidvoy.net ) it supposedly gives a full history of eBay sales over the past 6 months. You can also set your own date range or restrict to say the past couple of weeks etc. to see what's been happening on eBay. Will also add it in the useful links section 1 Quote

Indeed,he seems to have a batch of blinkered followers. The 1970 1d proof is just crazy money. You could buy 2 1970 proof sets for that !!!! Quote

hibernianscribe Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) This seller is spewing out this rubbish as can be seen by all of his other items! People are still 'drawn-in' despite the buy-it-now prices - take a look at the buyer feedback. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jubilee-Bust-Double-Florin-Roman-I-VICTORIA-DEI-GRATIA-Four-Crowned-Shields/264060685003?hash=item3d7b3e4acb:m:mtnUUZX7U-b6ET3Id_c1UXg:rk:1:pf:0 What I don't understand is how eBay can post a statement saying "100 per cent buyer satisfaction" with a score of 99.4 positive feedback and a pile of negative comments.
