    $760
    If amount feedbacks can serve as an experience indicator then it's funny how the more experienced ebay users ceased at $100
    The $55 was reached by bidding between a 86 and a 225
    The $100 was a single shot by a 1196
    Then a 9 a 23 and a 34 brought it to $760 with 1 day 11 hours to go.
    The 9 is the least experienced, but so far ceased at $600
    Wonder if he will jump back in at the end and 'win' it.
    If this is indeed fake crap then it went to the least experienced, as a predictable outcome, if correct.

    He posted another two pictures of the coin, I believe that they are of a different coin.

    That's more than a looks that way, that's sure, look at the G, one has the curve ending with a - the other not.
    All other, and free, no commission, auction sites I know list bidders as clickable users, one can contact / warn them.
    Doesn't fit in ebays commission scheme I suppose

    Those outtakes from Bullion Baron
    [​IMG]
    Those do not show the same. Regardless how intense and where the light came from
    Can anyone download the bigger pics, no altering, the original?
    It's doesn't go with my old browser, despite temp allowing the javascript and other crap.

    If it IS a pic of a different coin, then he must have downloaded it somewhere from the web. At least if he didn't resize/alter them, there are ways to find the pics back on the web. By just repeating the search. And even if there were changed / altered, depending on what was changed, it might still be possible.

    Yea, had bookmarked it, just checked again.

    01 -Aug-14 16 :27 :05 AEST Item number: 1114244 99544
    Bidders: 6Bids: 29Time Ended: 11 -Aug- 14 16 :27 :05 AESTDuration: 10 days

    14-Jul-14 14:10 <- ? from http://www.ebay. com.au/usr/k ens cars - seems nearly all medical treatment stuff like diabetic socks and some matchbox cars but also has this:
    10-AIRTITE-HOLDERS-SILVER-EAGLE-DIRECT-FIT-
    10-AIRTITE-HOLDERS-MORGAN-PEACE-DOLLARS-RING-TYPE-
    10-AIRTITE-HOLDERS-CENT-RING-TYPE-PENNY-
    (and maybe others didn't look further)
    22-Jul-14 10:32 <- he buys salon supplies, seller in Australia
    Positive feedback rating great seller+++good communication+++very pleased:):) Seller: Member id sydney_salon_supplies 22-Jul-14 10:29
    24-Jul-14 19:54 <- he buys a book, seller in the UK
    24-Jul-14 19:59 <- he buys another book, another seller in the UK
    01-Aug-14 16:27 <- his first sale, the one of this topic, this discovered coin box for sale without the box.
    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Australi...ncluding-Penny-and-Two-Shilling-/111424499544
    Item location Collingwood, VIC, Australia

    Since (3 weeks now), he bought nor placed new items.
    So this story starts (unsure, but considering the other items from that seller), quite possible, with a purchase of air-tites for coins.
    Inbetween, some purchases of items probably worth little, salon supplies, books, shipping cost from UK was probably a heavyweight compared to the total, especially since 2 separate sellers.
    And the story ended (so far) with selling of coins.

    I can easily recognize here a story line to purposely set up positive feedback at a cheap cost. I searched for it, so I'm biased, but still, this red line shows up as quite plausible.
    And, in that case of scam, it's possible that the buyer won't directly find out, and maybe never.

    The buyer has only 34 feedback (items) 100% positive.

    Bidder: e***i ( 34)
    30-Day Summary
    Total bids: 6
    Items bid on: 2
    Bid activity (%) with this seller: 83%
    Bid retractions: 0
    Bid retractions (6 months): 0

    30-Day Bid History
    Category No. of Bids Seller Last Bid
    Coins > Australian 5 Seller 1 2d 3h
    Coins > Australian 1 Seller 2 2d 23h

    That's all that is avail.

    A pity that no info is avail to ask the buyer details, or give advice to check out.
    Leaving feedback has a reasonable chance. But if it will be positive, it will prove little.
