I got a no interest offer on a credit card thinking I could buy bullion, except my favourite dealers don't accept credit cards. Completely forgot about eBay.
I agree and I've had no problems. I use common sense and avoid anything that looks too good to be true.
Nice one! It that doesn't prove to you the stupidity of eBayers then nothing will. I would like to see his COA stating that the coin is 1 oz gold And high relief too The only coin of this type that had any precious metal content was the silver one in the masterpieces in silver set of 1988. Thanks for the laughs Roundy.
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/152512885358 Same coin available for $200! Not even worth its face value.
Yes have to agree with you it is hard getting even face value for these coins. I tried to unload a stack of these coins at the bank one time, the tellers didn't want to accept them and I had to create a bit of a disturbance, and get the manager involved before they would accept them. Needless to say I wont try that again. I don't go out and deliberately purchase these monstrosities, but at every auction when I purchase bulk silver items a few of these mongrels are always there amongst the silver goodies.
He's listed another one, this guy's on a roll https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1oz-5-P...048965?hash=item5dbd124245:g:6ckAAOSwRCZfybYl Edit, it appears to be the same one. The original buyer must have twigged https://www.ebay.com.au/fdbk/feedba...age:RECEIVED_AS_SELLER&_trksid=p2047675.l2560
I think he's a bit ambitious on his pricing strategy, especially since it's graded by a company with a crappy website - https://www.pcacoingrading.com/ https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RARE-20...m46be269075:g:uGUAAOSwmV9f9dX~&frcectupt=true
I should share a buy i bought a couple of years ago. There was a country NSW seller selling a family collection. The seller had good feedback but only 40 ratings. The auction was for 10-15kg of coins including round 50s, pre and post decimal silver, a 1930 penny with possible tampering, a few random sovereigns and more. The photos they showed were like 1980s nokia shots and despite numerous requests i couldn't get much better. I messaged back and forth and got a good feeling that the seller was naïve but genuine. I ended up offering and paying around 4000 for the collection. I think i used direct deposit and there was no ebay protection at the time so it was a big gamble. What did i get? I got exactly what was offered. 3 full sovereigns and 2 halfs. 300 round 1966s. Around 5kg of pre decimal silver and similar post decimal. Lots of penny and half penny in bulk etc. Nothing was sorted or graded. I kept some of the items i wanted and sold the rest for around $8k. The 1930 penny was a fake as expected. Was a very nervous couple of days waiting to see if anything arrived though.
Seems a lot of cheap gold on eBay this morning. Legit looking sellers. There's even a 50 peso (1.1oz) for $1000. I wouldn't touch it but possibly a real but retarded seller.
That's the same guy selling the item I posted about above. He's got a lot of gold for sale but a shit rating so I'm just browsing.
Found SUPER BARGAIN! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Perth-M...216171?hash=item5b8704172b:g:XdUAAOSwwIVgDPXI
