eBay bargains thread

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.

Nice one!

It that doesn't prove to you the stupidity of eBayers then nothing will.:p

I would like to see his COA stating that the coin is 1 oz gold:D

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.:)

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.
 
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.

Yes, I agree. It is a major disappointment that Perth Mint discontinued the BoP series.
