Your first thought...
....when you read this sentence? -- "This is a 1873 CC Trade Dollar that I
purchased from a Chinese antique dealer." http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=8322997728 Larry 'a fool and his money...' |

"Trade dollar" and "Chinese" tells you
everything you need to know. Why even take a chance? |

He prefers PayPal, he sez, and then wants 3% surcharge if you pay that way. That used to be against the rules for stateside sales, maybe it still is? James 'pssst...wanna buy an 1804 dollar?' |

Check out his feedback, it's hilarious! He neg'd a seller (from China coincidentally) because he claimed the coin he purchased was a fake. Anyone else see the irony in that? |

I had missed that. Well, maybe he got part of his loss back with the $170 that he is getting from the unsuspecting buyer of the Trade Dollar. Larry 'justice delayed is not justice denied' |

Ever see that? They purchased one of the little furry critters from a chinese antiques dealer. Just like this coin here-- once they took the cutie home they found out their purchase was not what it appeared to be either. Although I doubt a coin could destroy an entire small town though. |

He neg'd a seller (from China coincidentally) because he claimed the coin he purchased was a fake. Anyone else see the irony in that? Checking THAT sellers feedback is even more eye-opening. That seller has 6-7 feedbacks claiming he sent fake coins, and he claims each of them is "trying to rip off me". Must be a conspiracy! http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...rid=coin_flyin Bottom of first page, second page is more interesting. Nick |

He left out the final part of the sentence -- "...for fourteen dollars..."
