I'd be tempted to win the auction and then demand a refund for "not as described" because of the young queen in the lot. Same thing with his auction for 4 dimes...one of which is a V nic.

[agmoose]

Devils advocate.....he may just not know anything about coins. Seems most of his sales are toy train related.

[Bucketgirl]

I sent this K-Bear person a question... will see what this person says... this seller has several misleading auctions to bid on Like I said in a previous thread "I HATE EBAY"

[RichardPenny43]

Ok.....who just cost me $2 more on the quarters?

[Morsecode]

Yeah, he seems more clueless than anything else.

The Honda Gold Wing carbs are a decent buy

[NHsorter]

I vote for ignorance or even laziness over intentional deceit.

[Bucketgirl]

So K-Bear responded and claims that "they have no idea about coins, my father gave them to me".... Geez, really! They have/ had several auctions up and in one they discribe the kennedy's as Kennedy's, then in another they call them LIBERTY'S... I DON'T BUY IT!

[agmoose]

Ive won auctions in the past for Liberty quarters and halves where the seller called them that based solely on the word LIBERTY being on the front of the coin. Even won an auction for 20 Jefferson quarters. If you search auctions long enough you will see lots of similar situations.

IMHO it's not fraud at all, it's either ignorance or laziness on his part. I personally love sellers like this as they represent about 20% of my eBay business. I spend about 10 hours a week browsing eBay for situations where the seller isn't accurately describing what they have. He could call them moon rocks, tupperware or whatever he wanted to, as long as I'm getting what's shown in the images. As long as I could snag a good deal on his mistake then I would be more than happy to buy for resale.

Sellers who don't check their spelling are also another good source for potential quick profits. My best deal ever was over $2000 worth of Vaseline Glass which I got for thirty bucks plus shipping. A nice batch of vintage VASALEENE Glass.... the seller spelled it wrong and nobody else found the stuff.

That's also a good way to look for a "traler" on Craigslist, or even a "deisel" truck. The ones with "cummings" engines tend to go for 5-10% less than a normal Cummins.

Must......resist........

Bucketgirl, that's what I mean. In one auction what is pictured is accurately described but then in another its completely wrong. That's not lazy or ignorant. Its misleading. I don't know just my thoughts.

HAHA! You missed this one though......DO you remember hearing about this one, I remember when it sold on ebay! I was watching the auction from start to finish..

If you dont recall, it sold first on eBay for $300 only a week earlier, because the original seller misspelled the manufacturers name. The buyer quickly relisted it, and spelled the name correctly, and the bottle of beer sold for $500,000.00!!!! no joke.

LOL, I remember when that hit the discussion boards on eBay I've never hit anything quite THAT big, but I stay pretty specific with certain things I'm expert at and I know have a good likelihood of being listed wrong. It used to be a lot easier but eBay keeps playing with its search algorithm and, of course, doesn't attract the same kind of sellers that it used to. I still manage to find about a half dozen steals a week.

I used to get some nice-priced below melt sliver there every so often

That's one of the first ones I checked when I decided to start stacking a few months ago. It didn't seem like a good candidate... too many buyers.

One of my very first attempts at automating my eBay sales as much as possible, involved using email signatures in outlook express. All I had to do was fill in the buyers name and trivial stuff, and the remaining text was part of the signature.

Anyway, I've always closed letters, emails, etc., with "Kindest regards". I mis-spelled it in the signature and was sending out emails that all closed with "Very Kindest Retards".

I'll bet I sent over a thousand of them before someone gave me a heads up about the error. I felt like such an idiot, I was ready to change my username and everything!
