VRBS ROMA...frenzied bidding
« on: May 08, 2015, 09:09:24 AM »
A few weeks ago I sold this VRBS ROMA on eBay for $62.00. It started at .99 cents and after 23 bids it ended at far too much money. I expected to sell this coin for maybe $10. I sent two more coins along with it, because I just couldn't let someone pay that much for this mediocre LRB. I have been buying and selling on eBay for over 10 years, but the things that go on there still amaze me.
