I wonder if this is legit?

The one in capsule is silver/gold plated of c**ap, worth SFA.

The pre dec look like only a 3p

The gold certicard is only 0.1gr

SFA
 
If you see something clad in gold, report user (if they didn't mention it) and run away in the other direction!
 
hahah yeah I guessed a lot of it was fake. If you look closely enough the 1oz gold bars from JM all have the same serial too...
 
Love it, straight to the watch list, what could be wrong with this.
Bronze - check
Silver - check
Gold - check
Low feedback - check
'No idea on value' - check
Wait something is missing... thats right...
Iron cross - check
Fullproof investment
 
Hmmmm... Exactly the same photo and description appeared for auction about a month ago and was sold. Truly remarkable that exactly the same treasure would come up for sale again.
 
Man that looks dodgy. Sucks to be the person that wins the bid.
 
It's even quite possible that one (if not all?) of the bidders is a cooperative of the seller.
It's the ebay version of the price explosion and zero consolidation claims :D

Wouldn't the ebay seller have to pay fees if he sold it to himself? (or one of his associates)

Do cooperating seller and bidder(s) actually sell to eachother?
The bidder drives up the price, while trying to avoid ending as the winner.
And in case he failed so, ohwell, the fee could be treated as 'investment in thievery tools'. The fee is a fraction; ex 10% of the sale price, so every succeeded sale can compensate for 9 failures.

nope just cancel the winning bid after the sale. As long as seller and buyer agree no fee.

During the period I dwelled on ebay, I've seen that happening a couple times, but I didn't know this was neutral to any involved party. Considering ebays general policy, it rather surprises me. On the other hand, I remember it triggers warnings about the dangers involved in selling 'outside' ebay, I received once one, after I bidded (and wun) on a coin from a malicious seller (I didnt know at that moment), and ebay deleted all his offers due to another cheating case and apparently ebays stupid system / personell assumed that buyer and seller agreed to cancel>delete, while it was themselves doing it. In the end, 6 months later, I got my money back, after alot 'polite' (heh) mails from me. Money as cash in an envelope, posted from Cyprus haha. Nevertheless, the bank cost was higher than the envelope+stamp so while more risky, it was cheaper for him. And most importantly: untrackable.
 
I just sent a message to the seller asking why it's for sale again since it was for sale a few weeks ago..
Lets see this response.... HAHAHA

Will share when he responds..
