48 bids, really?? ???

[Rob 3,152]

Presumably because the description contains the words gold and coin. Talk about learning the hard way.

Saxby's...

[Colin G. 147]

Woohoo I have a small box full of these...I am in the money

"1788 A.D England King George III Gold Spade Type Half Guinea Coin / Gaming Token"

Nothing that a bit of punctuation couldn't sort out. Because, to do otherwise would be unethica immor wrong cheati Saxbys.

Shouldn't that be £200-300? I've heard of setting the estimates low to draw in the punters, but £20 is ridiculous.

£200 for six tokens? I agree that would be a low estimate if sold by Saxby's but otherwise...

Your sarcasm is very deadpan, Rob

I'd expect something closer to a grand if Saxby's were selling them.

I've heard that if you really want some, you have to go To Hanover..

Long time reader of the forum, but had to register just to say how is this guy sleeping well at night? From completed listings he's sold a total of 17 gaming tokens for over £450 so far.

He's just listed another too. Do they have a bit of a reputation for this?

[HistoricCoinage 146]

Do they have a bit of a reputation for this?

Nope. Not a bit, but much worse.

Read from here onwards to get an idea.

Wowzer, one to avoid then!
