Title: Somebody blew $69.80!
Post by: JeffH on November 26, 2012, 06:19:50 AM
I have just listed a 1966 wavey 2 20¢ on eBay. Went looking to see what recent sales have been (as you do) and found this 1966 20cent "wavy line " could be non genuine or poor condition ! (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221143949561?nma=true&si=LUkKtVvKntcc7GX2xvXHdzuaO1E%3D&rt=nc&_trksid=p4340.l2557&orig_cvip=true).
Oh dear! :shock:

I saw that one too.
I didn't post about it thinking "No one would buy that rubbish".
I guess I was wrong.

From both sellers and buyers feedback, the buyer should have known better, with 1845 F/B and a lot of it coin related. Another Bidiot unless the single bid was a shill and the F/B is just to cover their tracks.

I notice the buyer is also a seller. Paid $70 Buy it Now instead of bidding at $35 starting price.
Seems a bit fishy to me. I wonder where that coin will turn up next?

Wow. Sometimes I don't know what gets into peoples heads (both buyers and sellers). Sometimes it's harder to pick whether it is a genuine coin but this is one of the easier versions. Who knows, maybe the buyer is a collector of PMD coins!

Or maybe the buyer is a SELLER of PMD coins and has a better marketing strategy and hopes to make a profit when they flip it:dodgy:
