new coins for 2018

I can't believe he has people buying them at that price. He is selling 2012 $2 poppy uncoloured for $24.95, and people have bought 2 of these!!

Yes, I've started having to use watermarks because of this particular seller. Glad to hear that eBay responds to watermarks. The last time I made a complaint, even though I provided copies of the originals which had details of when it was taken and the camera itself, they still refused to process the complaint unless I registered a copyright claim or something. It was just far too much of a hassle for someone who sells for fun.

May be he bought two himself to make himself look like a popular seller. If other people have bought from him, then it must be good.

Yeah people should do their research. He does have good ratings though.

His 2017 $2 listing comes up as a Sponsored Listing for me. Did he pay up for that in the search results? That's his business model - pay for more prominent listing to get hits and charging more.

This particular seller.. I've had a bad experience with him/her, not so much because I got ripped off by their 'rare' and 'scarce' coins, but rather he/she openly takes photos from my listings and took it as their own. Even the listing description was a rip off mine.

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Rare-2017-2-Two-Dollars-Lest-We-Forget-ANZAC-Coloured-Coin-UNC/253143580768

The first photo on the above listing was taken by myself when I used to sell that coin at a fraction of his/her current prices to help fund my hobby. He/She blatantly ripped it off as their own and despite repeated messages to get it off, does not reply and simply cropped the photo to make it seem 'different' from the original. Really makes me fume thinking about it and I thought I'd finally got over it. But when I clicked on runway's link, it just triggered me off once again.

In case anyone was wondering, I have reported him to eBay, but clearly the process of filing for infringement of copyright is too tedious and you're supposed to have a company holding the rights etc. which you must have proof of. I simply gave up.

Here's the original featuring my bedsheets :dodgy: I took a lot of effort to even get this photo because the colours don't show up very well. To have it ripped off me just made me really upset.

Great photo mate ... friggen greedBay are the real criminals for not making things easy for genuine people but the fraudsters get away scott free :@

Its a scam,they list at a cheap price ,sell a couple,then up the BIN price but the number sold stays there.Obviously to give the impression they are selling.
There were complaints to Ebay about this a couple of years ago and it looks like they still haven't upgraded the software.If they have stopped it he's purchased a couple himself with an alternate Acct. as burley.

LucasJ · January 11, 2018, 06:15:45 AM

I've had the exact same problem with another seller on ebay who are actually a bricks and mortar dealer, not with coins but militaria they stole a photo of mine then watermarked it as their own! No matter how many messages I sent them they would never respond and even ebay didn't care.

seedyrom · January 11, 2018, 06:19:24 AM

Maybe their shopfront needs one more brick?

Or a little mortar

Shill bidding is rampant on greedBay unfortunately but it's good to know the selling fees are costing these assholes :yahoo:

The choose a sleeve thing is odd!

Well, happy to say my piece of cardboard arrived today

I wish I was able to afford more pieces of cardboard.

Just bizarre

Quote from: 'Goldseeker' pid='113576' dateline='1514888032'Has anyone been to the RAM as yet and done there own MYO coins?

If so, can you advise that the five different folders that hold a single coin, are dispatched randomly from the presses or does one go to the shop to secure the set of five folders.

Thanks in advance.

As runway has advised ... I can confirm that cardboard sleeves are sequential

Goldseeker · January 26, 2018, 05:56:20 PM

OK Thanks.

I will see when I am at the RAM on 9/2/18.

seedyrom · February 01, 2018, 01:27:43 PM

ENOOOOUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was at the Royal Australia Mint less than a week ago. Added more to my collection and pressed some coins. Bought some stuff, even though I have spent a fortune via eshop on those stupid Ratbag and Rascals coins.

Today, the RAM has released even more coins.
Winter Olympics? Come-on guys.
MORE Commonwealth games coins? Seriously??!? That horse isn't dead yet?
WMF coins? They don't usually don't go through the RAM shop. Sales targets must be high this year.

Can you stop already??!?!?
It's only just ticked over to February.

We've still got the end of WWI to get through. I can only imagine how many tribute special coins will be released throughout the year, then even more come 11th November

Just say no seedyrom...

BTW, what's the theme for this year's News Ltd ANZAC series?

autocoupler · February 16, 2018, 03:33:54 PM

Pressed some convict dollars last week at the RAM. I now there had been some talk of 5 unique sleeves and such, but my only interest was in getting two coins from each press, so I didn't take much notice of the sleeves apart from the Rascals and Ratbags heading.

Arrived home yesterday and was sorting the coins when I noticed one of the cards had the name of Ann Mash on the bottom :shock: Back in the eighties my Father got the genealogy bug and traced our families first arrival to a lady by the name of Ann Mash on the second fleet. I have since read more of her story in a Coinworks offering which highlighted one of her promissory notes.

The old Man would be chuffed.

Rascals and Ratbags indeed, love it :yahoo:
