Did this guy really expect someone to take this seriously?

[AGCoinHunter]

From his pictures he looks like a real douche....

[barrytrot]

What is funny is it is $150,000 but the buyer still has to pay $11 for shipping

You would think $150,000 would be enough.

That's probably why no one bought

[VWBEAMER]

And his feedback on last item sent was negative, because the buyer never received it...LOL

[Morsecode]

Must've been internet-access night at the looney bin.

Then again, he is an investor and a collector...so..

[shinnosuke]

He's also selling a website for $750k. What a bargain.

[tinhorn]

Sheesh--I had a couple of those in the last batch of zincs I returned. Rats.

[Thogey]

We should flood him with questions.

He relisted the cent with a 30% price drop

[OtusLotus]

I just got back from the bank and bought 15 boxes of pennies... I sure do hope I find one of these error pennies!

[PennyBoy]

Oh and he is right, he took 2 great pictures!

[chris6084]

His buy it now is only $1 million. So I guess everybody was holding out on his 150K offer for the 1M

[cesariojpn]

One word describes this: PSYCHO.

[tbram88]

I had one of these about a week ago, it looked like it got stuck in some kind of machine and the edge was ground down.

What's funny is some one as stupid as him will bid and not pay.

How much is the listing fee for a 50k item? with a 1m buy it now?

Sheesh

[blackrabbit]

You got it wrong this guy is quite reasonable. I told him the shipping seemed high and if if he would combine shipping and he made it free! Now I am really considering bidding.

[TXBullion]

I think he realized he was starting to get greedy with the shipping charge. I mean 44 cents would cover it

[misteroman]

should've bought it and then denied it as he states it's a copper penny which it isn't

[bman]

can't you guys understand the great investment potential here? He said you can sell it on a place like ebay for 2x to 3x what he's asking for it....

[tinhorn]

Alcohol may have been involved.

[beauanderos]

This is the proof we have been looking for. Time Travel does exist!!! This listing is from three years in the future. Good news, bad news. The good news is, no matter how bad the future is, ebay will still be around. The bad news is... hyperinflation is really gonna suck.

[tinhorn]

I'm RICH! I'm RICH! I found one tonight, and I'll let it go for ONLY the price of a Ryedale. Save nearly a MILLION dollars and PM me right away! (Only five bucks for shipping MY rare Nickle edge cent.)

[justj2k78]

The penny in that picture looks huge... and how is he holding it? It's like half of his palm!

[jasmatk]

He has a sweet moustashe wish I could grow one that nice

[justj2k78]

lmao it "sold"

I think the person that bought it is just jerking with this jerk. It is a new account with zero feedback, so likely just a non-payer.

Or it could be someone that sees the profit potential Doubtful


No one with $50,000 to spend, even on credit card, has such little sense.

Yes, that's why I put quotes around "sold". Serious question though, now that it has been "bought" from Ebay's point of view, does he now owe a slew of fees based on a $50k sale?
