Red Riley Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Don't these Italians think of anything else!http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SEX-PENCE-1921_W0QQi...1QQcmdZViewItemNot sure whether he's trying to say 'sixpence' or 'sex pest'. The translation seems to come from Babel Fish as well. Quote
PINMAN Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Be sure to bid on this absolute (very RARE) bargain,and make certain that you bid a significant amount,so that no other bugger outbids you .Or,you could always go with the very cheap "Buy it now"option,just to be safe Link Quote

It must be a bargain at only £4 Quote

Peter Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Not so much of a laugh but.....http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=001I emailed the seller explaining is was a brass gaming token...but I don't think it sank in.I haven't emailed the buyer. Quote
Dg43 Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 This genuinely made me laugh!http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=007 Quote
Coppers Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 A little something for those of you who might want to add a touch of colour to your collection...A "Spectacular" Penny? Quote
Dg43 Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 A little something for those of you who might want to add a touch of colour to your collection...A "Spectacular" Penny?I believe a lot of US collectors will pay 'Top dollar' for rainbow and otherwise toned coins. I remember a while back, a Churchill Crown with rainbow toning making $500 in a Goldberg (I think) auction. It was then offered for sale in an ebay shop in the US. for about $3000. Quote

Geordie582 Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 This genuinely made me laugh!http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=007Is it only me that thinks this is the work of a modern 'coin carver' - quite a hobby, especially over the pond? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 He means the Queen on a po, ebay 170214077683.Actually I recently purchased a penny where George V is smoking a cigar and wearing a straw hat. I'll post pictures in here somewhere. I like things like that. Quote
Peter Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Dodgy goings on here for a bit of verdigris http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1892-HALF-PENNY-BRIT...id=p3286.c0.m14 Quote
RLC35 Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Did you read the winners feedback? It appears he may not pay for the item...he has a history of not paying until he is given positive feedback...WOW!The price is way too high for the coin being sold...IMHO!Bob C. Quote
Peter Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 I cannot contemplate such lowlife....How do these people ever get on in life?....Rant over..... Quote
Dg43 Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 I cannot contemplate such lowlife....How do these people ever get on in life?....Rant over..... I must admit, when ebay announced that they would not let sellers leave negative feedback for buyers, I thought 'About time!' - I had not taken into account the existence of such ......... I have never seen such appalling feedback - a direct result of ebay's new policy. Quote
