There was an auction house called Sold.com that Ebay bought & then closed down.
I found this item which was one of the last items ever purchased on Sold.com, I won this two days before it was closed down.
Not a bad price for 20 unc 64 half pennies.
Not a bad user name for that matter
A good auction site at the time.

At 40 cents each I reckon you got a good deal. But thinking of it another way; at 40 cents that's 80 times their face :shock:, which is about double the rate of inflation since 1964 :yahoo:. Sounds like a win, win (damn I hate that term, but that's another story). So who said keeping your money in the mattress doesn't pay? Just make sure it's only UNC coins we put there :)
As we age we lose three things, one is our memory and arrrrr I've forgotten the other two!

I don't remember it but I think it was advertised on a lot of Australian Coin Reviews at the time.

I sold a box full of 1990's PC games on Sold.com.au just before it closed down.

That was a great site .... I hoped a replacement site popped up as opposition to greedBay. Oz Auctions tried I know they changed the name back a bit but not even sure if that still exists. Of note,greedBay owns gumtree which is at best hosts too many dumped stolen items for my liking :idea::dodgy:

Yeah,its scam city at the moment,young welfare types spending all day dreaming up new cons along with the Pro.'s that seem to concentrate on Phones & Laptops.
Police just do not have the resources  to chase up the hundreds of complaints,the only reason they got the guys selling stolen Mag. wheels last year was a Police Officer saw his wheels & tyres for sale a few Months after they were stolen from his road car.  
Ebay isn't much better at the moment,i've never seen so many misrepresented Coins,fake Coins and just plain fraud,shame.

Yep Basil I hear you and eBay are a total disgrace the way they host the frauds yet make it near impossible to report items
