ebay Silver "Deal?"

took a chance and bid on this one. Supposed to have ebay buyer protection, so if they aren't all silver I'll start a dispute. States that there are no returns. What gets me is that the seller has other silver listings... so is he being intentionally clueless... or trying to get away with something?

[barrytrot]

Whether there are returns or not the buyer's protection prevents you from getting something that isn't what they said it was so you are 100% safe I would say.

And with the 2% cash back + 1%-ish from your credit card that's a decent price for silver there!

yeah... hardly likely they are "Truman" dimes... OR sterling silver! but I think the only reason it went this low was that people were afraid to bid on it

Looked like a pile of the famous sterling Truman dime to me! Lol

No feedback since last March,....makes me wonder if he has another account based on activity levels last year. Good luck though, I hope they are all legit so I can get some in a weekend sale!

my only concern was if they were all pre-1965, as the seller can claim they were unsearched. But then they did describe them as silver. I had already sent an email to the seller prior to the close of bidding that I was entering an aggressive bid... and that if I won and the dimes were not all silver a dispute would be initiated. Hopefully, nothing is amiss.

On a side note... there sure are few listings for silver coin lots. Not at all like it used to be. Most listings are single coins! The higher value lots are all crap listings "sixteen ounces of silver" etc.

You will do fine Ray.

I predict the deal will go smooth. Sometimes an e-bay account is a husband-wife team, especially those that deal with estates.

You will get your truman dimes.

I think the "estate liquidation" business is growing fast, due to all the old ass people in the USA, They're dyin fast.

There are some SERIOUSLY clueless estate liquadation outfits in my area.

Truman dimes?, Sterling Silver? you could extort them as "item not described" even if the dimes were good.

Don't get into a business unless you have been trained or at least have some experience.

I once bought a couple of sterling silver US coins. 14 bucks each for two ASE's...sometime they dont know what they are selling.

[creshka46]

Wow. I've bid on Jefferson quarters and Kennedy dollars but never Trueman dimes!

[CardsNCoins]

Not counting the 2% and 1% barrytrot mentioned it looks like you paid 97% of melt. Is that good? I don't "buy" silver so that is a serious question.

[beauanderos]

Any time you can buy below melt is a good deal. The one percent Barry mentioned doesn't apply to me.

The listing is over. Did you win?

Nice one Ray.

[Rastatodd]

"Truman"? Are people here in the United States that clueless on there history, or just an honest mistake in the listing. I will withhold my opinions.

[agmoose]

Until you said this, I totally forgot that I won a Washington Nickle collection for $8 a couple years back, 1938-1964, all dates were there including he wars and the 1950d.

I bought a LARGE lot of "eisenhower" dimes one time. I got them, and all was well. I was just messing around, and wrote the seller telling them that I was happy they were silver as he had said but I was disipointed that they were roosevelts and not eisenhowers, because Ive never seen the latter. He refunded some of my money and sent me two more ROLLS of dimes, all while apologizing profusely for his mistake.

before i respond to Ray....you GOTTA be kidding me...serious? unbelivable.......just friggin unreal.

there's a flip side to that...post dollar, lets say we trade in silver and gold...though more silver, maybe.....there's going to be a period where silver is NOT highly sought after at 100 plus an ounce, UNTIL people realize the only way you can GET THINGS is with silver. (or coppers or nick's)

Going to be an interesting ride.

OH MAN!!! you GOT to be kidding! .....and thats funny of YOU,. working the guy like that..hahahhahahahah......you're a bad man. i'm kidding ya. gee whiz! thats a good antedote.

[neilgin1]

that's a sweet score Ray.......at and/or RIGHT at melt, so highly fractionalized like that, cant beat it. i think you're good, i also think these MIGHT be old folks, who's wiring is getting frayed...and thats sad. Thats what it smells like to me. i've never had to deal with Alzeheimers up close, but thats what my gut tells me.

so nicely fractionalized! its like having 557 $20 bills (in todays money) sweet.


later add: checking over the bid's, you're crafty my brother....you didnt show up to the last second, but the other sniper just nickled and dimed himself out of 40 ounces.

[neilgin1]

they haven't arrived yet... I'll post an update. Yeah, I don't watch auctions... I use powersnipe.com $45 a year, but well worth it if you do much bidding. Come to think of it, ebay is dead nowadays... maybe I should cancel?
