Another way to sell your drek...

 

Am I the dummy here?

 

I bought one and got this VF 8.0-ish Judge Colt...

 

 

$6.86 down the drain.

 

Should I try another one in the hopes of getting the ASM 129???

 

CAL hm

 

No.

 

I've seen these posted by numerous Ebaycaphites over the years and I don't believe them for a minute...

 

They do the same thing with the coins.

 

"Unsearched Wheat roll- 1914D GEM MONSTER- RRAAAAHH!"

 

 

 

 

Whatever.

 

14Ds are for wusses. I got an 09SVDB.

 

I found a 1914D with my metal detector, in my own front yard! Granted it's not exactly in mint condition. Alas, no 1909S-VDB. (Yet.)

Not bad at all!

 

Nice find... :)

Wow, TT! That coin's worth $75-$100 as is, and you could probably get it conserved, and it'll be $200+. That's an amazing find!

Speaking of, this guy is a tool. :)

... hm

 

I think he has a point though as to the value.

 

You see, that coin has " fulll visible wheat lines. "

 

There's an extra L in there... maybe signifying the rare extra stalk variety.

 

Oh, waitaminute...

When I first entered a "chase", I received a very nice mid-grade TTA #86; one of my friends entered another, and got a 4.0 X-Men (Vol. 1) #1! doh!

 

I suppose it's up to the individual buyer whether to click on the BIN & take a chance, or not... (shrug)

Wow! Since we "out" dishonest eBay sellers, can you provide the eBay name of the seller who had the chase auction and really sent an X-Men #1? He deserves the good publicity.

 

Sure...

I was drinking last night surfing the boards. I woke up this morning and realized I bought three lots in a x-men chase lot from this seller. Oh well I guess I will post what I get whenever it comes in. By the way this is the first chase thing I have ever done. :insane: I went to bed with dreams of X-men 94 GS x-men 1 and that sort of thing. We'll see what I really get :makepoint:

Kudos to Cal for backing rhetoric with action. (thumbs u <-- the good one

 

Yes, I reported the tool, eBay ostensibly "did nothing", but I note the seller is no longer offering these "lucky dips".
