Title: An Dodgy Error "Manufacturer" Is Back
Post by: markn on August 03, 2013, 06:18:30 PM
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/buildr57/m.html?item=281145976949&_uhb=1&pt=AU_Coins2&hash=item41759b2875&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

This guy seems to re-surface every few months.  He's a known manufacturer of so-called errors.  Just hammering coins together.  I suspect he/she made the "errors" that sold through IAG once and then more of the same type were then pulled from the next auction.  Because he/she was very active on eBay at exactly the same time.

Beware.  I see he/she has seeded in some real errors among the poop ones this time.

Geez Louise ...... quite a number of those look like just Misaligned Dies rather than Partial Collars (the 5c looks ok). No pics from side on though, bugga.

$75 for a MAD (I'd be a rich man in that case)...... (they'll probably sell too).

Thanks for pointing this seller out Mark & Accumulator.

He's getting more inventive using GB Pennies to manufacture fake errors.  The thing is, there will probably be someone naive enough to fall for them. :dodgy:

I'm inclined to think that is one of the real one's. Dunno about the $500 price tag though.

I check up on my mate go234coins every now and again.  As of today 13 of his last 17 feedbacks are negative yet Ebay still allows him to continue :shok::shok:

He can always flog off some $2 coins for a dollar and positive feedback to repair it.

Probably best not to. It can be quite subjective and those sorts of threads never end well.

I tend to agree with enworb.
Discussing individual listings is much less subjective than "this scumbag scams people with rubbish"
