eBay is not all bad new's I got this lot.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Assortment-of-Quickfit-condensers-most-in-unused-condition-/131526910128?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=wX6vfRDqMro%252FOaNi8vPx1iH6mAY%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

£50 the lot and the seller was kind enough to help pack and ship despite his saying collection only.
Good news about the free coin they are my favorite type.

That is the worst yet. The date is listed as 1915 for a bicentennial coin (U.S. bicentennial date is 1976). And graded at PR69. That means Proof 69. There is no way. Proofs were not sold in rolls with folded corners. And to be PCGS certified they will be encapsulated in a sealed plastic holder. The PCGS grading system is clearly defined and is only questionable when the coin is not encapsulated with the PCGS certificate. At best those might make BU grades, even then I wouldn't bet on it.
 
He has a whopping feed back score of 3, 100% rating, for those 3 people. :lol:

In my experience people with that low of a rating are people who keep getting banned and come back with a new ID later.

The item specifics and Detailed item info are wrong on a lot of auctions, but here they're so wrong that it's obvious they aren't correct. It's more likely carelessness about information carried over from an earlier auction listing that he re-used and forgot to update? That certainly doesn't excuse it, but I don't think he was overtly trying to cheat anyone either except with his ridiculous pricing!

did you look at his other auctions??? they are IDENTICAL.... bicentennial quarters. a nickel collection that only had 6 war nickels in it.
he is out trying to scam everybody from the bottom up, no doubt. the bicentennial half dollars that are loose are so dirty i would want a tetanus shot after trying to spend them.

I'd guess that you'd probably break even at that price, but this doesn't take into account your time spent and the cost of materials and chemicals used. If you're just looking for material to practise on and you have the money to play with, it could be a good investment, but if you're simply looking to make a profit, it probably won't work out too far in your favour, all things considered.

Just my dos centavos, Chris :)

That must be some use of the term IDENTICAL that I'm unfamiliar with? First you complained about the information in Item Specifics section being wrong (not PCGS, wrong year, not PR69). His other auctions don't even have that Item Specifics section? Now you're complaining because the coins are dirty and overpriced. It's obvious you just like to complain! Sure, I agree he's asking way too much for all his stuff. That's the free enterprise system though, nobody is forced to buy them! There are millions of other auctions on Ebay, so move on with your life. Better yet buy coins off that guy on television at 5am in the mornings, he only sells nice clean ones!

if i was buying it id offer him 45 dollars for it no more than 65 the tantalum capacitors are next to useless to you, the monolithic ones arent much better and the other stuff 13 bucks a lb for ramsticks and he has two pounds and a couple bucks a piece for the ceramic cpu's 60-75$ a lb for gold fingers if they are close cut and he has a half pound

actually i complained about him describing an item as being more valuable than it is, i severely dislike people trying to rip people off.

The daft thing is this. You won't change him by complaining to him. You'll just get annoyed and wound up. There's better things to be doing. Pick your battles. Preferably ones that might get a result that doesn't involve you getting wound up and him laughing at you for doing so, because he probably is.

Think about that for a moment before crusading again against rip off sellers mate.

There's a famous quote that applies very well here. "I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it."

Jon

Edit: For quotation accuracy.

if i was buying it id offer him 45 60-75$ a lb for gold fingers if they are close cut and he has a half pound

If they are close cut? I was just about tar and feathered for saying the same thing to a member of the forum. I guess a member of the forum gets a pass
 
no actually you werent eastky, you were called out because you started calling the member out because he was overcharging for fingers i was in on that conversation.

No I meant other buyers. Boardsort ewasted and a couple others. Paying 38 to 43 usd per pound.

He's trying to squeeze a $57.00s profit plus shipping out a roughly $261 worth of gold going by his claim of 7 grams. There's not 7 grams of gold there in those fingers the way they are broken off the board instead of being close cut.

That's probably the reason the buyers have drop the price they pay for gold fingers.

you always want something for nothing and then accuse people of overcharging when it isnt what you think it should be... hate to break it to you but you arent boardsort and the people on ebay arent affiliated with them. so while it may be a good starting point to use their prices to gauge by for a profit to cost standpoint, you arent a major recycler, and neither are the people that are buying on ebay. thats why you almost got "tarred and feathered" not because you said anything about close cut. so if your gonna cry victim here lets make sure everybody knows that story....

hear that? ohhh yeah thats those crickets you were talking about...
