Ebay seller warning, bait and switch
Bamba123:
Not sure if this is the proper venue for this message, if not I suspect it will be moved to the correct base. I found a Constantine silver coin with a pair of junk denarius on EBay. I distrusted the seller as he is the one that sells "Gold and Silver" coins (all plated junk coins). The picture showed three silver coins, advertised as solid silver the price was right so I bought them. I was cruising the sales again and lo and behold, what do I see? The same picture, the same coins not in one but in two auctions. Now to show how arrogant this little snot is, this is his reply to my inquiry about the coins sent and why the same picture is there on other sales.
YOU WERE LUCKY I ONLY SHIP ONCE A WEEK BUT YOU BOUGHT ON THE 18TH AND I SHIPPED ON THE 19..I REMEMBER YR ORDER YOU GOT THE WOLVES..NICE COINS AND YOU DID GET THE SILVER COINS IN THE PICTURE...I SELL HUNDREDS A WEEK I CAN NOT TAKE PICTURES OF EACH COIN..UNLESS IT IS UNUSUAL
THANKS
JOE
I DO NOT SELL PICTURES I SELL COINS YOU WILL GET 3 SOLID SILVER ROMANS AS GOOD AS OR BETTER THAN THE PICTURE..I THINK YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN THE PICTURES COINS
So you might think your bidding on a silver constantine coin and get a roosevelt dime, what a worthless seller, so this is a warning this guy is a bait and switcher! Steer clear of him. I will post whatever I get! (by the way he raised the price on the later auctions)

I complained to Ebay and to their credit, they immediatley opened and investigation on this guy saying on the surface it was an unacceptable practice.

What did you expect?
Why do you buy from someone you distrust (because he's a known crook)?
