ovrundr Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I would like to sell some of my coins at these values. Doesn't look like the bidders agree with his valuations though. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZjojax22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldFartte Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 I'd have to say he pulled 'em right out of his tailpipe Note the asterisk after the "value" that leads nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustchaser Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 From his auction... "THIS BEAUTY WAS GRADED BY THE GALLERY GRADING COMPANY. THE VALUE WAS TAKEN FROM PCGS." This is a favorite tactic of self-slabers looking for that certain newbie. The fact that PCGS states that its price guide is only for properly graded (i.e. PCGS slabbed) coins never is disclosed. Of course, the PCGS price guide is mostly fantasy too, but that is a totally different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16d Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Oh brother!! This guy has been around awhile. Anyone familiar with ebay coins knows he'll jump out atcha when you least expect it. Whether your searching for 1/2 cents or $20 gold, he'll have one of his hideous Franklins in that catagory. You know, the guy's not fooling anybody, the vast majority of his auctions go for less than 1% (that's not a typo, 1%) of his advertised PCGS price. What irks me is that when something is advertised as FB or FBL, you'd think the guy would show the rev. of the piece. And Gallery grading? They aren't even included on sites that review the various companies. He has sold dozens of his $25,000. 1/2's though. High being $202. and low at about $5. Heck, some of his various denom. proofs from the '50's have gone for a nickle. (his no reserves) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ovrundr Posted June 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 All of his closed auctions have this staement: THIS BEAUTY WAS GRADED BY GALLERY GRADING COMPANY. THE VALUE IS TAKEN FROM PCGS Is it posible to change the wording after an auction closes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediccoin Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 All of his closed auctions have this staement: THIS BEAUTY WAS GRADED BY GALLERY GRADING COMPANY. THE VALUE IS TAKEN FROM PCGS Is it posible to change the wording after an auction closes? I think the PCGS in this case stands for "Per Crazy Guys Stupidity" for values.

Twentycent Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 I didn't see any price quotes for Trends' price on the item I looked at. That seems to be popping up lately. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
