Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Sovereign 2022- UNDER RRP

[katmonkey]

This ebay listing for the new Sovereign is below rrp. Why would a seller do this when they could just return it to the Royal Mint? Is it a scam?

It's possible they purchased under RRP with another dealer, but factoring in fee's, they'd be selling at a loss. The 'we' wording suggests they might be a business, but factoring in they don't have a business account, and just 8 sales of mostly Pokémon cards to their name, I'd steer clear and just buy with a proper dealer for the extra £3. 

Also, I don't think eBay guarantees will cover you as far out as 20 Jan 23.

I wouldn't touch with a barge pole, i just thought it was very strange & suspicious.

It's in ebay, ergo it is a scam*

* Just my slightly cynical personal view.

Some dealers sell them at less than RM price of £695 (I think RRP is dead).

"Proper dealer" being...

at £685!

Bargepole!

Just ordered one from Blackpool at £1 more, and it's not ebay but a reliable source, it's a no brainer.

The logistics of the ad make no sense at all. 

- Lots in stock

- But……….Delivery January

I agree.  Even if he’s a business it’s still selling at cost.  Maybe he has a brother that works at RM and gets him the family discount.

Totally agree.

If a sucker pays up then they either don't get the thing or they get a fake. 

Meanwhile the seller has pocketed your cash and done a bunk.

Please buy from trusted sources.

I asked the seller a couple of “direct” questions and he / she stopped answering.

Essentially they said that had a large quantity in hand….but couldn’t ship before some time in Jan, which of course makes no sense whatsoever.

About what I suspected.
