Ali Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Apologies if there is a similar topic posted elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it if it is. Sure this is getting a bit silly now. And featured on the British coins main page as 'Featured Item.' The seller is probably laughing his head off Quote

And featured on the British coins main page as 'Featured Item.' The seller is probably laughing his head offYou could have posted it under 'ebay laughs'.I can't understand the £5.50 bid, but the seller has a feedback score of 12. The whole exercise is likely to be a ploy to accumulate a lot of good feedback quickly. The bids probably all come from friends of the seller. Pickup only is perhaps a strategy to discourage idiots who might bid and win, then leave negative feedback. Quote
scott Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 yea i have seen that myself, very odd, there is a fair bit of rubbish that gets bids on ebay though Quote
Geordie582 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 It's an old scam aimed at new or junior collectors. A bit of 'shill bidding' as bait and they get suckers every time. Quote
Ali Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 I did see one once that claimed to be 'lucky' and 'randomly selected out of a hundred pennies.' It was selling for a 'bargain' (As the seller put it) 1p, plus p+p. Quote
scott Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 i avoid "lucky dips" cos 9/10 its rubbish, if i dont see what i get i dont buy.. someone is buying a 1988 £1 for 99 +1.99 or something too O.o Quote
