Speechless

Imagine William Wyon creating that monstrosity - that’s so bad I can’t believe anybody is bidding on it

[Simmoleon]

Just read his feedback; he sells viagra so he’s probably already giving himself a hard time 

[dicker]

908….I wonder if someone is now having  a giggle?

[dicker]

Even a cursory price check against other similar coins will flag this as horribly wrong.

Ebay are very slow in removing the listing ? is it because its in their best interest to keep such listing.

If it was a folding multi tool with knife it would have been pulled down in minutes 😂

On the subject of fakes did anyone see the Block19 gun made to look like toy Lego bricks.

In America you can make real working gun look like a toy but you cant make a toy look like a real gun crazy laws 😂

The Block19 has now been withdrawn by the gun makers after a letter from Lego was sent to them , just think how rare the few that were made will be .

People are now 3D printing a gun similar to the Block19 and have called it the MEGA GLOCK 19X

They do poor quality fakes of most of the popular sovereigns on there. It is almost worth buying a few as a reference point.

Seems like a bargain to me 😁

“Ultra rear” apparently 👌🏼 Looking at his other sales he seems to specialise in selling viagra as well as ultra rears.
 

1x eBay lizard reported this evening for me.

Yes, that made me wonder whether to laugh or cry.

Did you also notice:

So he seems to know / think it is a proof, that it grades MS70, and that it weighs 3.99 grams (which might actually be true).

An ebay vigilante I know used to ask the seller questions such as:

Is it genuine?

He also, when he could see they had used a pirated photo, asked

Is the coin in the photo the coin I will receive?

i posted to the seller "You do know it is a fake don't you."

The seller claims he is away. There must have been a decent number of reports gone in now and yet no action yet.

If you look at his sold items, they include an 1841 sovereign at £66 (Item # 224530451210)

His title "Rear 1841 Sovereign", but the description states:

This 1841 Victoria half sovereign was issued by the Royal Mint in London, with the obverse design showing the young head protrait of Queen Victoria, and Jean Baptiste Merlen's crown shield design on the reverse.

The 1841 gold sovereign is the rarest date of Victoria shield sovereigns.

It was only the third sovereign of Queen Victoria's reign as the sovereign wasn't issued in 1840.

Gold: .1176 troy oz

Years of minting: 1817–present

Diameter: 19.30 mm

Composition: 22 Carat Gold

Mass: 3.994 g (61.637 gr)

Edge: Milled

A recent "completed item" was for a pack of "Mens blue pills" rather than Viagra, so they could be blue chalk.

Another one for a "Heart shaped Ruby" shows a GIA report, but the description includes:

"Main Stone Creation:    Natural, Lab-Created"

So it is a synthetic, worth a few pounds, rather than natural worth a few thousand.

My guess is that everything he sells is fake.

Oh, and for future reference, the vendor's username is chriscow-43.

What a  silly moo!

I'm speechless . Such a beautiful coin and i'm top bidder so far for only  £127  . I'm amazed at such low bids. 😆

This "Related sponsored item":

"Queen Victoria Full Gold Sovereign Gold Plated Random Date 1887-1900 STOCK"

is a much better deal at only £9.98:

Especially as it is an incredibly rare (or is that rear?) mule, as yet unlisted in Marsh.

Must be worth at least £10K! 🙂

[BackyardBullion]

The question is, at what point is it morally responsible to set up a completely new eBay account and put a max bid of £1,000,000 just to make sure you win the auction and ensure nobody else gets ripped off?

In my opinion, it would absolutely be the right thing to do, but it is almost certainly in breach of ebay's rules, T&C's etc.

"Thou shall not cause ebay to lose any listing or other fees"

Apart from that, we are probably talking about proberbial water off a duck's back. Unless ebay bosses are total morons, they must be all too well aware that ebay is probably the world's biggest market for fraudulent or stolen items.

Do I sound cynical? No, just experienced and pragmatic.

The OP said "Speechless". I am not in the slightest surprised. 🙂

i thought of that. We could all bid it up then the new account could coup de grace . A world record price reported in the Sun newspaper . 

[Mrpound]

No rear is worth 15 Grand 🤣 

eBay just makes me sick unfortunately.

how many reports has it been now? 20? And still up.
