    What's crazy is my legit coins wheren't even getting an offer (like at $1). I log out, hidden from search. Log in its first, contacted ebay and still waiting to sort it out..
    Coins been up since damn January figured something was up and found in the support, yes they do hide items from sale that have been flagged...But the fakes? Totally fine. Removed everything from sale on ebay. Disgraceful.

    Selling them here would be a far better plan I think.

    In someone's back shed must be the 'where', the 'how' I can only imagine was "after enough methamphetamine to kill an elephant" if the appearance is anything to go by :eek:

    It looks like this scammer has been making a few sales. How anyone thinks anything listed here is real is crazy.

    Hes got all the fakes. Some so shameful he just throws up stock images.

    That's an auction, so price will rise.
    I wouldn't recommend buying PM's on eBay.

    I once bought a printer cartridge and they simply didn't send me the one on the photo, but a different type, expired old cartridge. There was no sender on the envelope.
    It also arrived too late for refund and when I tried to leave a negative feedback, the seller suddenly disappeared.

    Never buy anything of value on eBay. Go to a local dealer.

    Seems to be more "choice cleaned" than choice uncirculated, the lustre seems woefully non-existent. Plus, would you really be touching such a "high grade" coin with your fingers like in the photos? :rolleyes:

    The halfwits on fleaBay are bidding $395 on a base metal ingot from a 1990 Nugget proof set which is worth jack squat as it contains no gold.
    The 1989 Nugget proof sets are the only ones that contain 9-carat 1/4 oz ingots, all the other years don't!
    And the seller has over 1k all positive feedback.
    While he doesn't state that it is gold why photograph it on the scale as if it is?
    and why start the bidding at $300 and not .99 cents for a piece of scrap metal?
    This geezer is a definite ripoff artist.
