Ridiculous eBay listing of the day
Victor:
this is not an LRB, but it was the silliest listing that I have seen in while, so I had to post. The seller is asking $32,500 for this coin, his description below-
augustus caesar nummis larg Bronze 27bc-130 AD.
"I can not find it on the internet. Took it to a coain dealer how says he would have gave me his shop for it. Please look at inb revew. They are know for cleaning old coins. Witch makes them less worthey. Also since i saw the same coin which looks worse than this one. Go for over 60,000. I know its worth alot of money. But i think this coin is cursed. So buy it at ur own risk."
Victor:
I found this listing to be pretty ridiculous. Somebody slabbed a worn Valens that might be worth $5 on a good day and has listed it for $150...if you can't wait, buy it now for $200.
He is also selling a Theodosius I in similar condition for $130 or BIN of $175
Victor:
highrating_lowprice on eBay is notorious for his selling tactics- overpricing then lowering to a still overinflated buy it now in an effort to trick people into thinking they are getting a deal.
below is just one of his many listings, a Galerius GENIO IMPERATORIS; which might be worth $25. He has it originally priced at $325, but you can buy it now, for $87.25.
I don't know if it is true, but I heard a few years ago, he was turned down when he applied to become a Vcoins dealer. I guess it depends on whether you think his listings are unethical.
Victor:
Here's a Ticinum VLPP with a Greek cross on the altar with an opening bid of $500. If you are worried about not getting it, the BIN is $2,500.
I am thinking about...I just wish it was a better picture.
Victor:
Here's an "Ancient Roman bronze coin,extremely rare and super high grade ////10"
opening bid of EUR 299 or a BIN of EUR 999
