Ebay ping-pong

For those who might be watching and possibly bidding on this seemingly rather nice high grade 1950 penny (item number 350788057370)...

I thought I'd point out a couple of things that are already in the public domain.

The same coin (judging by the photos) was sold only last year for $80 (item number 320898171670).

The seller then was martin-ellis7. It's unclear who bought it as no corresponding feedback was left.

The current seller of this coin (stephenelliscoins) got a neutral feedback in January this year relating to a 1951 penny to which stephenelliscoins responded,

'now band me from his site what a foolish mas and greedy dont buy from him waster' (sic)

Both sellers have 'ellis' in their names and both live in Toronto, Canada.

Just spotted this (God! I really need to get out more):

on 19 March 2013 at 15:14 stephenelliscoins left this feedback for martin_ellis7 'thankyou, good stuff' (sic), at exactly the same time as martin_ellis7 left the same feedback comment with the same joined up 'thankyou' error i.e. 'thankyou, good stuff' for stephenelliscoins. In other words they would seem to be one and the same person and, moreover, the seller appears to be, at least on one occasion, bidding on his/her own listing.
