Ebay's Worst Offerings

[Accumulator 52]

leaving aside the wonderful quality of this coin, which is obviously 'money well spent', 'will retain value as time passes' and is a 'significant piece of monetary history', the seller has made a trifling mathematical error which might mean he completely misses his well-populated target market. Should I let him know that it's actually an 'ideal 106th birthday pressie'? I'd hate for him to lose out.

You could never accuse him of lying.

Someone explain this to me. I saw this silver 1p that I took to be part of a 2001 maundy set, up for auction earlier, it then got removed as no longer available, then reappeared at the bargain price of £500 bin as very rare, have I missed something.

It is one to miss.All the gimmick gold and silver plated coins are tat.

Stick to unbutched currency or proofs.

Attached is a Maundy set

Looks like he closed that auction down after I asked him why it was so rare. Go figure.

I realise that a 99p listing is free, but how much does it cost these chancers to post an ad like that?

i think it was a free weekend last weekend, so i guess if he doesnt sell it, he may pay nothing......i guess if its a free day, anything is worth punting out.

[ski 1]

do you pay for the photo even if its a free weekend?

[just.me 23]

do you pay for the photo even if its a free weekend?

only the basic listing fee is free which includes 1 photo. All other additional photos are 12p each and other extras like enlarged photos still incur fees too.
