argentumandcoins Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Oh don't worry Rob i'm not interested in scrap materialYou would have been if I would have taken £500!!!! Quote
argentumandcoins Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 It's a good job ebay don't impose the same demands as this vendor, otherwise we wouldn't have a thread worth the name. link. Black pots and kettles spring to mind.One of my customers gave me one for my youngest son when he was born.... I wonder if this seller wants to buy it? I'll cut him a deal at £50000 and leave £20k in it for him...... Quote
azda Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Oh don't worry Rob i'm not interested in scrap materialYou would have been if I would have taken £500!!!!Lol........And the undated 20p at 71,000, i only have 70,999 in PP or i would have took a stab at it. Wonder how much thats cost this tool to list with a 77k BIN Quote
Cerbera100 Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Lol, here's another mint examplehttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mint-error-Old-1-2-penny-coin-Young-Elizabeth-head-/250789582603?pt=UK_Coins_OtherBritish_RL&hash=item3a6439570bThats about the fourth different seller I've seen with this coin over the last year or so... Price is creeping up as well... I was the under-bidder on the first sale at a massive £0.05!On the original pic (and description) you can see that the area within the white speckles has been bored out almost through the coin... thought it might be an interesting curio - but not at £300... or £3 for that matter!

azda Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 Don't get me wrong, there is 1 or 2 nice coins on the bay, but the crap seems to be iutweighing the good stuff right now, more scrap Metal than anything Quote

When you've got an auction house to haul up yet ANOTHER accumulation in a cardboard box, bags full of worthless low denomination crap, you never want to see another believe me Quote
Hussulo Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 no time wasters please Regarding the other listing. It does annoy me when I see post mint, damaged coins being advertised as errors. Quote

When you've got an auction house to haul up yet ANOTHER accumulation in a cardboard box, bags full of worthless low denomination crap, you never want to see another believe me But think how you'd feel if just one of those cardboard boxes full of crap had an EF 1926ME, say. Or an EF 1869/1875H/1863 with die number, and somebody else got them because you couldn't be bothered with just that one box too many !!! Quote

Accumulator Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/undated-20p-tail-side-rare-/250794214101?pt=UK_Coins_BritishDecimal_RL&hash=item3a648002d5What a scamIt's tempting to bid 20p for the coin and probably win the auction. Postage will cost him 46p (new rates from Monday). Having received the coin demand that he sends you the tea-towel because it's in the photo and therefore you assumed it was included. Otherwise you'll leave very negative feedback! Point made, and he's well out of pocket! A bit of fun too Edited March 29, 2011 by Accumulator Quote
