Bid to win an option to buy?

[pricha]

Sovereigns are getting expensive i know but it's got to the stage where you can bid to have the option to buy a coin for Less than £400 ???

 For someone who no longer checks eBay 😅 . Well it gives me a good laugh now and again.

The OPTION to purchase up to 3 Full Gold sovereigns for £399  | eBay

[pricha]

yes the option is £399 for one coin... valid for two weeks . £2.65 postage for an option ????

Pretty smart, assuming he only pays the fees on the £10 or less.

Someone will ignore the fact its a photograph of a photograph on a screen, and likely go for it.

He might get away with it if he was a respected coin seller. But his other items are scrap cycles and a mattress

Yeah just seeing his inventory 😆 doesn't exactly scream confidence.

And would the coin be protected by ebay protection ? Of course not.🤣

Indeed.  A couple of stained Futons, some rusty car wheels and second hand push bikes.

You now have the option to also splash 10k for a share in his " European, refurbished rental air B&B" business 🤥😟

[ChrisSilver]

Not sure that is even legal in the UK. And certainly something that wouldn't be allowed on TSF, before anyone gets any fast making money ideas 😄

What about if we maybe..... "insert stupid suggestion here"

[Zeuk]

Lol, options trading on ebay, kind of intriguing .. that being said if the option buy price is higher than the going rate, you can just give youself the 10£ and take the do nothing option.

[ChrisSilver]

They have edited the description and changed the option price from £399 to £420. No bidders yet.

Lol, this is surely a contender for ebay "ultimate binlord".   Certainly the best one (or worst one depending on how you look at it) I've seen to date.  Looking at that house I'd say it could be in either Germany or northern Italy - Impossible to tell, but it could just as easily be in Austria or Hungary, or even Slovenia or the Czech Republik, or anywhere else....  🥴

I love the mattresses.

Wonder if the bikes and spoked wheels are nicked..🤔

It’s the sort of deal that will go wrong, no question about it.  Literally anything could happen with this Binlord!
