Title: ebay mules
Post by: ausjack on May 07, 2014, 12:14:12 PM
Ok just thought I'd start a thread for anyone after mules as I seen this one and it's a little dear for me but doesn't look too bad so if anyone is interested, and no I don't know the person or have any connection what so ever, just seen their mule so thought I'd post it and it gives us something else to fight over :) MS62/3 or might go better who knows but interested to hear others thought and about the grade they think it might pull :angel:

Yes a couple of weeks after the other. Was pretty chuffed but didn't want to brag. Hopefully it will help towards the other half of the tank.

Terrible photos but I would say AU50 - AU55  so you would only
want to pay $750 as it's too hard to grade it from the photos

I would be a little suspicious of that one. Sold one at $750 a couple of months ago. Now has an identical listing (including same photos).
Is it the same one? Did the sale fall through -if so why?

:laugh2: ..... Would I hold out on you AJ! .... Nah, not for long mate. I never ever thought I'd find one, let alone two, especially in such a short period of time. They came from different towns and neither came from banks.

I'd have hung onto this one except for the tank and my eye (which is after the tank, hopefully, as I've just about had enough of my vision. I suppose I should be thankful I can see at all).

Will put a pic up soon.

Gee stevo I was way out, one minute I grade to hard then I grade to sort so I need to find the middle ground there somewhere :)

Mmm didn't even look at that, well spotted Jeff :good:

:dodgy: YES yes you would and did :laugh2: but I'll forgive you this once :angel: but  don't let it happen again or else you'll be in big trouble :acute: and don't worry about a pic mate just put a link in the sale thread :good:

Yeah I know the feeling, and good luck gettin ya eyes done mate as ya health is just so important :friends:

I'd have thought it would be a better idea to concentrate on those that have already been graded rather than take a risk of, for example, getting a coin with a coin rolling scrape.

Yes, thank you another good point there Peter, lots to think about when buying a coin/s and not as easy as just jumping in and grabbing the first thing that comes to hand.
