Ebay's Worst Offerings

[Peter]

I wonder if this will sell?

The reverse is worse....maybe £5 - £10 would be the expectation.

Nice little silk cushion for display purposes, though...bet he doesn't include that with the purchase!

His most recent feedback isn't too inspiring either:

"reported them to ebay as possible scam. Never got item and they didn't refund"

Gotta love 'em!

There's a better one here (I think, anyway - you have to dance between the focus ), currently at £3:71 with a day to go :

Personally, I think people should avoid this as it is the 10 leaf version and not the 11. Therefore not extremely rare and not worth............ how much? He's avin a larf

10? Oh, s**t, better cancel the snipe!

Oh, the wonders of punctuation.

The one thing that doesn't need the query is 'very worn'. Hammered gold coin? Maybe. Quarter Angel? Maybe.

11 bids though!

11 bids though!

"You can't beat a bit of Bully-on" "You get nothing in this game for two in a bid"

[Peter]

BFH for you.....lets see what you could of won.

(some poor punter living in a Birmingham council high rise could of won a speed boat).

Classic TV though

[Accumulator]

11 bids though!

"You can't beat a bit of Bully-on" "You get nothing in this game for two in a bid"

I must have missed that show! Sounds very Larry Grayson "shut that door" era?

[Rob]

I'm completely in the dark too.

Possibly a bit later? 80s and into the 90s. Bullseye on ITV - how we spent our Sunday afternoons before the World Wide Web and Sky Sports Jim Bowen was a bit of a legend in his own lunch-hour.

[Rob]

One for Colin?

This is being optimistically ended on Christmas Day, is this one really a Richard III? (i'm not suggesting it isn't, I know nothing about these!)

[Rob]

Looks like it.

I understand your scepticism, Paulus! But yes, this is definitely the real deal.

[Rob]

Yeh, right.

That is depressing. As a note to others it's a fake Edward I groat.

There's some skill in that coin, a shame (in some respects) to have got it so wrong!

Not a shame that eBay listened, though. Listing is gone.

[Coinery]

Half a sixpence, is better than 'arf a penny...

It needs a bit of a clean, apparently, and don't bother making a BIN offer, thank-you!

You may consider offering a BIN however!

And if at first you don't succeed, try, try, again! 161182357437

Anyone else having problems with Ebay Search?

Ebay wont let me save any search, even though I've deleted all my old ones - I'm using Firefox 25.0.1?

[DaveG38]

Maybe firefox - I'm using versions 26.0.

[Garrett]

You could try clearing your browser cache but this looks like eBay's problem.

You have cleared out your searches but they still register with eBay.

Maybe log out from eBay then back in again.

Else I suspect that the problem will right itself when eBay restart their servers, but you could send them an email if you like.

cheers Garrett.
