    I run my online business from home (computers not coins) so if you googled by business address it would be a nice google earth picture of my roof. Doesn't mean it's a scam, can you do an ABN search and see if they have a registered business.

    Hi, this is my first post
    I also saw this offer on this page:

    http://www.acbo.com.au/coins_banknotes/index.php/50c-Coins/View-all-products.html

    it lists :

    1. 1966 50c Rounds On Sale Now. Minimum purchase is 100 coins. Please be quick as this offer will not last long. ... $16.50

    2. 1966 Round 50 Cent Coins
    1966 Round 50 Cent Coins ... $12

    both show the same photograph of a pile of 50s

    I emailed the guy, obviously interested in the second product, asking what the difference was, was this still valid, etc

    I didn't want to waste time with an offer to sell at 12 that wouldn't be honoured

    that was about 4-5 days ago, so far no answer.

    does anyone know what the deal is then?

    Hello All, My name is Steed Newson the owner of acbo.com.au and we did have a limited amount of 50 cent rounds for $12.00 each, however as you can imagine we were flooded for orders which exceeded our stock amount. At the time I was diagnosed with a heart condition requiring surgery and at the time was unable to remove the ads from my site. I can however assure you that it was in no way a scam and if i get any new stock at this price which is unlikely I will et you all know. No order that was placed after stock amount was reached went confirmed unless you were lucky to get one. My sincere apologise for any one who missed out. Please give me a call if needed. Thank you Steed

    hello steed, welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear of your recent misadventures. As you have read, lack of communication can cause great anxiety in this forum - I hope your explanation has clarified the events for everyone. Good luck with business and your health.
