If you gentlemen read my post from page one of the thread, Ismail the exact same thing regarding buying decent grade coins.

I emailed the seller. He says its something ebay started and he oüted in as it was easier when posting. I Pointed out that the UKs duty was only 5% and asked how ebay could just use 1 flat charge when various countries have different duty. My assumption is that ebay will pay the individual tax levied and keep the rest thus making them even more f***+%g profit, robbing Bar stewards

To be honest Rob, had i been charged duty from an American seller i would have told him to cancel the transaction

Ebay now seem to be doing as they please. I thought all costs had to be visible, yet they say Price will be confirmed at checkout. Makes you wonder why this one 181304709876 does'nt have Import tax.

I'd agree with most commemts here. CGS for British coin grading and PCGS fort he rest. I'd also agree with Alan (mhcoins) regarding the scale that they used and that they may have missed the international boat on this. Saying that, they may only want to stick to mainly British coin grading. You never know, we may see them change this grading scale sometime in the future.

To Tomgoodheart and ColinG. I hope you boys get really nice coins or coin books, or Vouchers for coin books (null)

To far for me. Anyone attending the Munich coin fair?

I'm an Hour ahead of you guys

Oh you're buggered Colin, anyway, its all downhill after 21

Logging into the forum from my ipad and got some weird russian shit. I use the IPB app for forums and when i logged into it, it started downloading something in Russian. So i tried with safari and same thing again. I'm logged in now from the laptop using firefox without any problems. The Russian URL seems to be www.moblua.com. Anyone else with apple products having this problem? Another URL that seems to be popping up is goltraff.com.

Aye working again

I bid too, but also dropped out as it was only EF Maybe a certain ebayer with £12000 burning a hole in his pocket hoping to sell as UNC? Time will tell.

I bidded on the LCW under foot penny but dropped out after $1500, it went for $2100 hammer

They seem to like this site, and I thought we were just geeks

Seems to be back to normality

Douna, the reason it probably did'nt sell was perhaps it was too expensive, just a thought

glitchy as in no graphics

can get on using IP Board but its glitchy, although no more Russians.

itf it is the same coin it just goes to show what the Americans are doing. buying high grade british, slabbing amd hoping some mug will part with huge amounts to buy it, thus making massive profits to do the same again. funny thing is though, its mainly Americans that are buying into it all. douna, we're not bashing you, its just thatw e see this and discuss this maybe once a month. american buyers have bought into a huge marketing scheme and those biyers are buying into a slab number and not whats in the slab. Do your homework before buying, sellers like the one you've pointed put are ripping you guys off because you're believing the hype, it really is all BS as Rob says. check out previous auctions for a similar coin amd see if it sold for $2000+ my gues is you won't find any unless you look at heritage which is another outrageous marketing ploy.

sorry, i don't but it looks expensive however you look at it. british collectors don't go much for what a label says or the razzmatazz of which pop number it might be. its a nice coin but very expensive

I went to your main webpage and it also seems different, the subcontent is all opened. Clicking on the forum link from your website just brings up the same problem. I did try Huss' forum from the IPB board app and i got to that without any problem

When the option to zoom came up I was like a kid in a sweetshop. Nearly poked my eyes oot

Chris i tried another forum from the IPB board and it never had the problem

They have no choice but to accept paypal as a method of payment. If reported ebay would pull all their listings

Living in Germany, i've only seen 3 cheques and those were for refunds from the Krankenkasse for being a healthy specimen of a human being. I don't think the Banks use cheque books here, i was never issued one when i opened my account. We also don't get charged £30 a time to send money to EU accounts, strange that eh
