Who do you blame here? It's been going on for years and will continue to for just as long as this guy can still find two 1909vdb pennies.

The really sad thing about this is that the seller still gets 99.9% positive feedback even though he rips off 99.9% of his customers. Ebay shoppers are collectively a bunch of spineless cowards.

Wow. Get a load of the prices these rolls went for. Don't know if this guy is legit or not but he is sure making a comfortable living.

I'll have to say the sellers and buyers deserve each other on these types of auctions.

I agree; dishonest seller meets ignorant and foolish bidders - marriage made in heaven!

Lol, the style of rolls he's using weren't even manufactured until the mid 1980s!

This is the classic definition of how a scam works. The buyer gets so caught up in the incredible deal he's bidding on that he forgets to use common sense.

In some cases, it's hard to feel bad for a guy who fails to stop and think because he's so caught up in his own greedy desire for CIRCULATED "OBW" wheat cents.......

If I started selling nickels and called them 1/20th dollar pieces and they were flying out the window, because people HAD to have this new coin, tough to say I'd feel bad, though my own code of ethics wouldn't allow me to conduct business that way.

Here's an even better example- At a large regional 3 Day coin show 2 years ago, I was the only dealer there with the 2009 LP1 rolls. I'd brought 4 boxes. I sold the majority of them for $25 PER ROLL, because people HAD to have them. Some people even wanted 5 or more rolls (of course I gave a price break). By Saturday afternoon, I'd sold all 200 rolls. Yeah, you do the math. Now they're $1.50 rolls. And if you had asked me then, I'd have told you they would be. BUT- people will always pay for what they think they have to have. Lesson here? Be smarter than the guy who sits for 3 days in the rain for a new video game system.

This seller is from your state C.W . How does he continue getting positive feedback. People are indeed blind.I will say that he delivers some of what he promised.

Incredible that one buyer paid over $600 for ONE roll of a probable $100 roll. Good Grief!!:sad:
