Rob Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Presumably because the description contains the words gold and coin. Talk about learning the hard way. Quote
Colin G. Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Woohoo I have a small box full of these...I am in the money Quote
bagerap Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 "1788 A.D England King George III Gold Spade Type Half Guinea Coin / Gaming Token"Nothing that a bit of punctuation couldn't sort out. Because, to do otherwise would be unethica immor wrong cheati Saxbys. Quote
Fubar Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Want some more?There's half a dozen full and half ones "In Memory of the Good Old Days" in our local auction a week tomorrow.Estimate £20-£30. Quote
Rob Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Want some more?There's half a dozen full and half ones "In Memory of the Good Old Days" in our local auction a week tomorrow.Estimate £20-£30. Shouldn't that be £200-300? I've heard of setting the estimates low to draw in the punters, but £20 is ridiculous. Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Shouldn't that be £200-300? I've heard of setting the estimates low to draw in the punters, but £20 is ridiculous. £200 for six tokens? I agree that would be a low estimate if sold by Saxby's but otherwise... 1 Quote

HistoricCoinage Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Your sarcasm is very deadpan, Rob I'd expect something closer to a grand if Saxby's were selling them. Quote

moonshine Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Long time reader of the forum, but had to register just to say how is this guy sleeping well at night? From completed listings he's sold a total of 17 gaming tokens for over £450 so far.He's just listed another too. Do they have a bit of a reputation for this? Quote
HistoricCoinage Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Do they have a bit of a reputation for this?Nope. Not a bit, but much worse.Read from here onwards to get an idea. Quote
