Here you have it, unsorted cents on ebay and dirt!
But, there is a nice photo on one of the listings :)
Personally, I think people like this are bad eggs from this hobby.

p.s. he should be reported for keyword violations (on ryedale)

If the guy took the subject in the first links photo and sprayed that dirt pile with the water from that new fire hydrant. Living in Kentucky he could make a boat load of money and wouldn’t have to sell his pennies. “Road Side Mud Wrestling“ :mrgreen:

Is that unsearched dirt, or did he take all the good stuff out of it?

Item Condition - "NEW"

I want to ask the seller a question

New in geological terms? Or new as in just jackhammered a big bulder into a pile of dirt?

I agree: "You Gotta Be Kidding"

I can remember enjoying going to whowouldbuythat.com but that site hasn't been updated for several years.

Maybe we need a crazy coin auction sticky here..

Just for the fun of it I had to put the KY dirt on my ebay watch list. :D

Totally ridiculous.

Now if it was Arkansas dirt, maybe.

As for the unsearched pennies...it could come to that someday when the banks shut us down. There was a guy on CL in Feb selling 40 String boxes for $1050.00...long gone now. I must've been out of my mind for not buying them.

Another strange ebay seller in Kentucky, but this one is actually kinda cool:

I've learned that people will sell ANYTHING. But what's even more sad...is that most Americans will BUY anything. :(

I once sold a box of unsorted pennies on eBay for 34.99 plus shipping. Of course that was back in the days when you still actually netted a profit selling a box of pennies for $10 over face. :mrgreen:

It never amazes me what people will buy.

Don't buy any soil (or rocks for that matter) from Hawaii, lest you want the wrath of Pele....

Let's hope you don't work for Geico, because that would get you fired.

Whoops, that's right. No one would fire the voice of the gecko. He's funny and he's British. He's got two things going for him. Gilbert, not so much.

Just got my $100 in pennies today that I paid $96 for. Packaged very well. Looking forward to sorting those!
