Great Snags and WTF's???

[WhyKnow]

Who's with me on negging this guy. I declined to cancel the transaction and Im about to neg him

Send him his own quote from his page--"HOWEVER MANY BUYERS GETS THE DEAL OF A LIFETIME RIGHT HERE ." See how he responds.

[Irons]

Got the first one but I did not think that he would list 3 more

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=250814408180

He's still listing them, He gonna take the $$ and Run!!~

[sandro]

Nope, he already refunded at least the 3 musketeers from GIM2 Those are the relisted ones, as auctions vs BIN

[rodzm]

Well he replied to my message and he thinks Im trying to extort money from him LOL.

My email to him:

Dear silverandgoldchristopher,

I won the auction at the posted price and paid immediately. I feel that as a seller you should honor the transaction but since you are requesting cancelling I will not be accepting it. Upon 7 days I will have no choice but to leave negative feedback due to unfulfilled auction.

His reply:

Dear mannyscollectibles,

it was an honest error, and you know it

ebay has to stop people like you trying to extort buyers out of there money, and demanding money to not leave negative feedback.

i sold 750,000 last year.

if people like you keep, harrasing me me out of my money i will stop selling on ebay.


This guy is delusional

To lighten up the spirits here, I present you a beautiful WTF:

Anybody wants to make him an offer for the true value, as in $8.00 ?

Anybody wants to make him an offer for the true value, as in $8.00 ?

I found out a few years ago that I have aunt and uncle who have been collecting coins for roughly twenty years. When I visited their home for the first time last summer we somehow started talking about coins and my aunt was thrilled to show some of her collection. Long story short I think she has *every* crappy set ever produced by the Franklin Mint, the United States Commemorative Gallery, etc. She was beaming as if she had a nest egg stashed in the closet so I didn't say a word. I did mention to her that it's important to buy 90% too, so hopefully she followed that advice.

On a related note I have a coworker who buys all the colorized and/or plated sets for the state quarters. He's been paying $20 a pop for two quarters every month for about as long as I've worked with him (5+ years). I've since talked to him about 90% and gave him a Morgan for the heck of it one day.

Not me, sorry. "Let He Who Is Without Sin...". I've made mistakes before and asked for forgiveness too ... He refunded promptly not in 5 days so I will not neg him. Call me a softie, but that's my take on it ....

As long as the refund was immediate and the seller apologizes then I wouldn't be too mad either. People make mistakes although the guy was clearly out of line when he replied to rodzm.

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]Dear silverandgoldchristopher,

That guy is bad news. I remember the name from last year. He was misrepresenting a gold coin and I called his hand. He came back with a smartass reply and I reported his auction to Ebay as fraudulent.

[bemac]

Nope, he already refunded at least the 3 musketeers from GIM2 Those are the relisted ones, as auctions vs BIN

Yup. It looks like he actually meant to list those as auctions with a starting bid of $100, instead of a BIN at $100. He's not dishonest, just sloppy.

[latemetal]

If you haven't spend all your coin, http://cgi.ebay.com/1985-Canadian-16...item43a6d3c3d5 consider this one...

This is TomD's fault. Way over spot but sometimes ya wanna scratch an itch. Silver Britannia set, some are proof.

Well guys I need your advice on this one...the guy who backed out of the transaction reversed it and is now offering it to me at the original price.

What would you do

Thank him for offering his "deal of a lifetime" and take it.

Then jump on this... 1oz Au eagle for nearly $100 under spot using IE9

Unfortunately I capped the 10% reward 2 weeks ago. Thanks anyway, maybe someone else can take advantage of it. Me I am on 5% ebucks+MrRebates now only on my secondary account

Sandro,

Did you ever get the MrRebates to work with the IE9 ebay bucks? Some people are reporting success, but I don't understand how that works.

[sandro]

Nope, IE9 ebucks only at 10% before. Now ebucks 2%+MrRebates 3% only. I have not seen any proof that combining would work

[Turner-son]

Me neither, since to get IE9 to work, it had to be pinned. Being pinned automatically eliminates clicking through MrRebates. Simple logic - at least to me.

Thanks!

[TylerDurden]

Got my first decent snag of this dip. I haven't tried the IE9 thing yet so I'm just getting the 5% rebate. Still comes out to only $38 an ounce:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

The seller had a couple more listings for the same price per oz that I was going to post but some moron placed a bid on both of them. Now they'll sit out there for a few days and end up selling for a lot more than the BIN price. I love it when that happens.

[bemac]

He's got a couple of 1oz gold items under spot...

Old John Henry must be gettin' senile. Or maybe buying the packaging on ebay and then inserting a made in china eagle?

[bsuds25]

Saw this on ebay. Thought Id post it up. Low premium and free shipping.

Thanks, it doesn't have a buy it now (BIN) option though. Hard to get excited when the deal can't be sealed. Someone else might come along....

[cpthnsolo]

Just picked up a slabbed 2007 First Spouse 1/2oz for $715 shipped after the IE9 rebate. That's approximately $43 (6%) under melt for slabbed fractional 24k gold ! Too bad eBay has a cap on this promotion as you could conceivably turn a hefty profit buying below spot and selling at spot (assuming gold doesn't tank of course). If anyone reading this received the invite from eBay last week, but hasn't taken advantage of it, you're really missing out in my opinion.

[sandro]

A candidate for the WTF of the month

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-1965-Silver...-/220779319894

not only clad dime, but also gilded for only $5.5K BIN .... He cannot see the clad layer; yeah, maybe because is gilded all over, including the edge, duh ... He is listing the weight (which is less than the clad one even) as a proof that is not clad. Hello, Ground Control to Major Tom, the silver weights more, 2.5 grams. Really rare POS I guess, look at his ID, I guess it says all

[Irons]

Here's a nice gold full Guinea for a pretty good price, too bad it's on ebay!

I've seen a lot of $1500 1oz coins drop today. Wish I had some FRN's, saw two Krug's go by.

[sandro]

Snag for me, about $1300 after rebates

[cpthnsolo]

I'm totally out of powder and hate to pass on this, but for those of you with cash and can use the IE9 10% rebate here's a First Spouse Jefferson for $720 shipped after the rebates.

[Claimjumper]

He does not accept PayPal which, I Think/not sure, kills the 10% rebate. If I'm wrong, sorry, but please let us know if I am.

[Sindgefallen]

Just sniped my first Swiss Miss!!!!!!

[birddog]

Went to our local shop to pick up a couple tubes of ASEs (for 3.50 over) and they had a handful of kooks in their display. I got 3 1oz that I didn't have for $41 and he gave me a 2ozer for spot!! I can't get near those prices on Ebay......

[Apocalypto]

ebay might be fun this weekend. Some people are desperate to sell that all of their nasty, sleazy, dirty, useless silver.

[Argentum47]

eBay UK isn't showing any great deals as yet. Was hoping people would panic and dump their loads, so I could grab some bargains.

People still paying 50% and more premiums on ASE's here. Mad.

[MISRy]

*Very* nice. Deals like that are the only reason I have pre-`33. Good job!

[Turner-son]

He can say that, but I don't think he can actually sell on ebay without accepting paypal.

[TiKi]

He can say that, but I don't think he can actually sell on ebay without accepting paypal.

Yes you can with paymate, moneybookers, propay and credit cards (if you have a merchant account.)

[Ronnie Mexico]

Holy moly, talk about a great deal!!

Bought an uncleaned 1908 no motto double eagle at an Antwerp jeweller yesterday. Lots of lustre left and it hasn't been whizzed as far as I can tell! I paid POG plus €30 (around $40) over spot. The jeweller said he removed it from a bezel, but even under a magnifier I can't see any traces anywhere. I'll post a picture if ya'll are interested.

[Milanion]

I don't have the dry powder right now for this one, but here's one at $725 for half ounce spouse coin ms-70 after the IE 9 rebate program going on.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Ends within the hour, no bids currently.

WHOOP! 1821 Sovereign $310. ~

One of my main coin guys go's to Florida every winter and opens back up begining of May.

I stopped by to say hi and see if he had any gold to unload.

My jaw dropped when he gave me the price and he laughed.!

Local relationships are priceless, and this Sov is so old it's almost a guinea.~

[rodzm]

You suck Irons...damn you always get the home runs. Looks like this is one of them:

[AguA]

Now that's cool. I haven't seen any that old yet anywhere I've visited. My hunt continues.

By the way, Irons, thanks for inadvertently turning me onto Sov's. I love the look and found 2 local dealers that sell them for $10 over anytime they get them. One called me today as he had a 1918 with an "I" mintmark today.

Thanks for that Manny, I was able to put the pic side by side with my scan and check details. Mine has more character than the pretty one but it's for shore real!

Weight was right on too. I wonder why he gave it to me so cheap, that was really nice.
