Ebay's Worst Offerings

[Sword]

"Not much more info except these are garden finds. House is old but not pre 1550 I think.

Listed these a few weeks back with many comments that they are fake but I also had positive feedback from some that were genuinely interested.

The truth is I don't know. Just have had them for 10 years or so just lying there & will take a chance on selling them at whatever price. Not looking for a windfall!

Let's see?"

His previous sale:

25 bids!

[declan03]

Gee that item description is something else!! If you notice the bidding, there was a bidder with 673 in it from the start. Looks like he was trying to inflate the price for it.

Look at the effort that has gone into making this fake look good! Smoothing, scratching, toning, he deserves a prize! And only £200 bin!

Please report it.

Reported ! Seems to be a fairly new tactic of scamsters. Damage / falsely age replicas to make them less obvious to some.

10 out of 10 for trying!! ?

This ploy seems quite effective if enough of us report it and bombard the suspect seller with curt messages.

[mrbadexample]

I also reported it. Seems that multiple reports is the key.

There is currently an 1820 £2 advertised on ebay for £8,500.  Unfortunately he wants another £22,500 for standard postage!  (I';m guessing with a feedback score of zero he hasn't worked out that ebay takes 10% of the postage too). 

To be fair Spink quotes it as £62,500 in FDC so perhaps it's a bargain (gold's not my field so don't know).

He is also trying to sell a circulated 2016 base metal £2 coin for £1500!
