Ebay's Worst Offerings

no 1956.. curse them

Haha. Grossly overrated year, common as muck! Everyone apparently kept them at the time as it was the last year, and BU multiples were offered in the late 60s.

Not sure Britannia was ever a goddess, even in her Roman incarnation.

Never under estimate the humble farthing....I do prefer pre 1936 what other coin could you get 960 for £1. I love them

[scott 144]

get far more zimbabwe dollars for £1

By definition none, surely. If you got 960 halfpennies for £1, alarm bells ought to ring.

It was that harington dude, i even emIled 4hrs ago to tell him it was pewter and he still made 3 bids the Tool

A bit of shill bidding going on here anyone?

Possibly, but he's going to have to relist it because i won it. Just waiting on him emailing me for payment then i'll let him know (he already does) that its pewter, but wondering if HE will tell me this first as a good ebay seller

Could'nt wait, so i've emailed him

Hello, been waiting for you to contact me about this coin. Was actually wanting to see if you were an honest seller or not, and it seems not.

Reason being is that i know you had several emails during this auction telling you that this coin was made of pewter, yet you've failed to tell me this so far and you also failed to update your auction stating this, and that can only be for one reason, you wanted it sold as original.

There is a very good British coin forum which i'm a member of and your coin was pointed out on that forum, your wording in the auction does'nt really wash either as you've sold coins and sell a few coins and you certainly knew the date, but your WHAT IS IT quote was really quite amusing.

So, what we can do is either you sell it as a pewter fake (as you know it is) and i can forget feedback, or you can try again selling as the real deal and i can leave a nice feedback.

P.s the forum name is predecimal.com/forum look under free for all then under ebay laughs.

Can't wait to hear how this pans out Dave, do keep us posted! I admire your vigilante style!

Come on! I wasn't dissing the farthing, just being realistic about that supposedly "scarce year" 1956.

Nice of him to quote the weight - almost exactly 1g under which proves it's dodgy. Still, they're getting closer.

This is apparently AEF with mint lustre. Been corresponding wirh him regatding his grade but he's having none of it. I'm ashamed to say ge's from my home town.

I think a Trebor has more lustre! Dundee? Had a couple of nights out in Dundee, my best man is from Dundee! Kev Thomson, please tell me you don't know him?

Blimey, that's shocking. Just had a look at his feedback - look at the state of the obverse of the 1917 florin he claimed was FDC.

A 1917 proof florin, that must be worth having.

I thought it looked like he was having a secret laugh!

[Coinery 1,153]

I remember Peter once saying you can sometimes decipher sellers' 'my refs' to calculate what a seller's paid, and make offers accordingly! A good tactic, but I wonder whether sometimes reverse psychology can also be applied?

This seller looks for all the world to have paid £103.52 (I think it was) for their coin, would that push bidders to a higher bid?

The coin's worth nothing like that!

I think it should be seen as read that if someone posts numbers, a URL would always be appreciated! Especially for all those that keep in touch on their ayePhones! ;)251135532783

The 1818 sixpence was worse. That made nearly £200 as opposed to just over £100 for the florin. I need to find these buyers and strategically place my bucket to catch all the money they are p***ing away.

[azda 979]

I've invited him to come and join in the laugh and Tell us all how he grades and maybe give us a list of the fools that actually buy from him and think his grading is correct.

His 1906 shilling in EF+ is a stunner to, i actually thought the grade was merely Fine, shit, what do i know

[Peter 615]

How the heck can he overgrade by so much and keep his 100% feedback?

Must be a Dundee fruit cake.
