Ebay's Worst Offerings

[Peter]

I suppose classic Britannia on cu and bronze floats my boat.1/4d's & 1/2d's 1672-1936 

Scott i hope you have got the sanding belt on your 1972 proof set to make them feel at home.

Mm, yes, that wording is a bit cheeky, isn't it.

Still, if someone actually thought they were going to get all those pre 1947 tanners for £20 then more fool them.

[declan03]

Haha....i very nearly shoved in a last minute bid!! ?

With a description to suit all collector types -

'Rare aquatics lines on face 50p (gap filler) mint condition very shiny, '

Not too many mint condition gap fillers about, unless that is, the seller knows it isn't genuine. Perish the thought.

[hibernianscribe]

I see it went for 51 quid!

This "sovereign" looks a bit iffy, judging by the way the auction is going.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/sovereign/322692101917?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

Weight 11.8g! Assuming that is correct then not a sovereign. Assuming the scales were crap, the vendor has shot themself in the foot. Who knows?

[declan03]

He seems to have all different weights on his other listings Rob. The buyers seem wary enough, but throwing away £100+ on a chance its legitimate is a bit of a risk.

[Rob]

Throwing away £100 pounds because you won't spend a fiver on a cheap set of scales isn't too clever either.

[declan03]

Haha true!! Although the 1902 looks like  one of those replicas on sale on ebay for £5!!
