Just for the heck of it I have sent this message to the seller;
'That is what collectors generally call "road kill" or "PMD" (post mint damage).
It is worth exactly what a bank will credit you for it...$1.
I am am amazed at what crap some people will bid on.'

I encourage others to do similar with such rubbish. Reporting to eBay is generally a lost cause.

It seems to worth $21 at the moment so he/she has done extremely well for himself/herself. A little bit better than the bank swap.
Im not sure what the appeal is, looks like a common lawn mower coin.

Someone is going to feel pretty foolish when they find out they have bought a damaged coin and not an error.
OH well so far it is going to cost some uneducated collector $21.50 for this bit of education :angel:

All they have to do is join this forum for free and it would save them heaps by simply asking about this coin :good:

OK Jim,
Send the seller some appropriate links to threads in this forum to help with his (most likely, I suspect) or her understanding.
Or, sit back, crack another stubbie, put on some good music and don't waste your time
Sad but true I am thinking -not the line immediately above.

My own numismatic education cost me a fair amount of cash that I spent on "Junk".
It is pointless emailing these types of sellers as they will nearly always ignore you and most certainly wont put the question asked on their listings.
All I can do is list whatever I sell accurately and provide decent images and hope that other sellers will emulate this practice :ok:

[Triggersmob]

Yes this is funny. The seller is laughing all the way to the bank.

[ausjack]

Looks like there might be a bit of shill bidding going on if you look at the bids..very sad.

[Enlilninlil]

The seller knows exactly what the coin is, it is just plain deception.

:i_agree: and feebay doesn't care just as long as they get their cut

I had a look through this sellers sales history and it looks like he/she wouldn't have a clue what they are talking about when it comes to coins.
The trouble is the bidders are no better informed either.
It's pretty much a case of Dumb selling to Dumber

[ausjack]

True but I also look at who's bidding and it looks like a bit of shill going on with the same person making the first three or four bids but yes people need to learn but then you can lead a horse to water but ya can't make it drink :winkextra:

[Enlilninlil]

$36 final bid, good sale. Anyone here tried this?
