Re: Missed a great deal
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:32 pmWhat 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

Re: Missed a great deal
Posted: Fri Mar 04, 2011 6:37 pmWe should flood him with questions.
He relisted the cent with a 30% price drop

Re: Missed a great deal
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2011 2:42 amHis buy it now is only $1 million. So I guess everybody was holding out on his 150K offer for the 1M

Re: Missed a great deal
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2011 11:18 amI 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

Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2011 2:14 pmYou 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.

I think he realized he was starting to get greedy with the shipping charge. I mean 44 cents would cover it
Re: Missed a great deal
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2011 7:17 pmshould've bought it and then denied it as he states it's a copper penny which it isn't
Re: Missed a great deal
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2011 9:54 pmcan'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....

Re: Missed a great deal
Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2011 11:11 pmThis 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.

Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2011 7:51 pmI 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?
