Ebay Ridiculousness

Apologies if there is a similar topic posted elsewhere, but I can't seem to find it if it is.

Sure this is getting a bit silly now. And featured on the British coins main page as 'Featured Item.'

The seller is probably laughing his head off

You could have posted it under 'ebay laughs'.

I can't understand the £5.50 bid, but the seller has a feedback score of 12. The whole exercise is likely to be a ploy to accumulate a lot of good feedback quickly. The bids probably all come from friends of the seller. Pickup only is perhaps a strategy to discourage idiots who might bid and win, then leave negative feedback.

yea i have seen that myself, very odd, there is a fair bit of rubbish that gets bids on ebay though

It's an old scam aimed at new or junior collectors. A bit of 'shill bidding' as bait and they get suckers every time.

I did see one once that claimed to be 'lucky' and 'randomly selected out of a hundred pennies.' It was selling for a 'bargain' (As the seller put it) 1p, plus p+p.

i avoid "lucky dips" cos 9/10 its rubbish, if i dont see what i get i dont buy..

someone is buying a 1988 £1 for 99 +1.99 or something too O.o
