Sword Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 He only offered £1 for the £1 coin and so not much risk there. Quote

Sword Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 I don't think she appreciates that your offer of £1 is literally a million times closer to the coin's true value than her asking price (of a million pounds). 2 Quote

Delusional behaviour, and the idea that hope changes reality, used to be only in the deep deep background of society. Now, with every idiot on the web, on the same level as all others, the world is mad. As mad as all back streets in Victorian cities were. I don't waste time worrying or commenting on these idiots. No point whatsoever. Quote

hibernianscribe Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) Can anyone answer this for me, I'm looking at a current eBay auction and specifically at the bid history - in this case, each bid (including the current one) is described as 'private listing' whereas normally one sees a list with a few letters and asterisks denoting different bidders. I've never seen that before, can anyone explain. Frank Edited January 27, 2019 by hibernianscribe Quote
Coin#addict Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Possibly shill bidding. There's no need to have private listings. Quote

I've never seen that before, can anyone explain. The item has been marked as a 'private listing', so even less can be seen of the bidding than usual. Private listing to me equates to stay away.

Paddy Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 When a seller is listing any item he has the opportunity to tick a box marked "private listing" in which case all bids are completely anonymous. I can't see any legitimate reason to do this, but some sellers use it. Quote
jelida Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 While not every ‘private listing’ seller is of dubious character, those of poor character almost invariably make their listings private. As suggested I suspect this is to enable shill bidding. There is no need for it. Jerry 3 Quote
hibernianscribe Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 Thanks for the feedback - yes, on reflection I agree it's wise to steer clear of these. Frank 1 Quote

rpeddie Posted January 29, 2019 Posted January 29, 2019 😐 smaller coins are tougher to picture for this seller, one picture could be their own and the other picture from the previous seller 😋 2 Quote
