Chris Perkins Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 I knew who that would be before looking at the link!Nice enough chap, but he does try his luck sometimes with grading, and he really should know better. Quote
Rob Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 I knew who that would be before looking at the link!Nice enough chap, but he does try his luck sometimes with grading, and he really should know better. Does know better. It's called a dodgy dealer or to be more accurate a liar. Grading is not that subjective. 1 Quote
Geordie582 Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 I don't know! If I found a hammered Edward Ist penny in that condition I'd be tempted to claim FDC!!! Quote
Guest Guest Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Latest Ebay Bargain I knew the US $ was likely to come under pressure given the negative balance of payments, but has it really devalued that much tonight or are the mafia feeling homesick and yearning for their lire? Quote
Emperor Oli Posted May 11, 2006 Posted May 11, 2006 Latest Ebay Bargain It's a guy on the CU Forums . It was a 10 cents listing day, so whatever price it starts at he only paid 10 cents instead of the usual percentage. Quote

Peter Posted May 15, 2006 Posted May 15, 2006 OOOPS....There will be tears I fear.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1837-hanover-prince-...1QQcmdZViewItemA lovely bit of brass Quote
Guest Guest Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Hi everyone, what do you make of this, 1933 Penny Read the questions from potential Buyers and the answers the seller has given !!!! Is this the 1933 penny missing since 1970 !!!!!!!Turned out it was a 1933 penny, an irish one!! The buyer is considering legal action but I dont see him having much chance. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 He's got no chance at all! You can buy piles of old rubbish all day long, all your going to get is poorer, you're not going to get any 1933 pennies, regardless of what clueless sellers say!No one wants to throw away £200, but it could have been a lot worse!

Coppers Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Here's a 1933 penny available at a far more reasonable price....Another 33 Quote

Hats off to anyone who can sell 1965, 1977 and 1980 crowns at £3 each. Describing s**t as nice condition also helps selling to the same group. Quote
Gary Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 He does not quite get away with it. Quite a few neg feedback entries and I suspect he will not be around for much longer if it carries on.Feedback for qccoins Quote
Geordie582 Posted May 23, 2006 Posted May 23, 2006 With 5 negatives I think you'll find he'll just press on as long as he can. This comes in the same category as those sellers that bury the word "copy" in a lot of verbage. Someone always falls for it. Quote

Bronze & Copper Collector Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 I've emailed ebay with several of the ripped-off links.. AND informed some of the sellers that their pictures had been ripped off and are being used fraudulently...... I doubt that Ebay will do much on my information, but hopefully, after the genuine sellers complain, they will be removed....Let's see how promptly ebay reacts....Good rule of thumb: "If it seems to good to be true, it is"......Caveat Emptor..... Use common sense..... Quote
custard1966 Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 I e-mailed eBay too and the legitimate seller.No reply from either.I can't believe the nerve of someone to try something so blatant. Their feedback is comical - all from today (within a few minutes of each other) and all from zero-feedback users. Quote
Bronze & Copper Collector Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 I had emailed the 3 sellers that I knew.... and also contacted ebay directly....They too contacted ebay......as of now, fast by ebay standards, the fraudulent seller is not-registered any more... and has no items for sale.....score one for the good guys........
