To all you scammers trying to sell these rubbish coins. Do your homework before you go ripping people off. A worthless coin. So many scam eBay ads and you're all stupid. Truly dumb picking this obviously worthless coin to rip people off with. Luckily Ebay are well aware and will take them down if we report them.
DO NOT BUY THESE COINS. THEY ARE WORTHLESS.

The thing is - Countess - collectors will do their homework.
Especially with coins.

Yes, they definitely should! I can’t imagine forking out a lot of money for a coin without having expert knowledge - or having done the research and getting some expert advice from a disinterested source.

If it sells then you have successfully scammed someone. Police have already been notified. Everytime I see one. Good luck scamming

This is for all to read. Figure it out dude

Fishing for a newbie and you blame the newbie. If you sell it at this price then you have successfully scammed someone. Along with the fraudulent wording RARE. You mean the least rarest coin australia has. You're finding reasons why it's OK to scam. Everyone I find gets a police report. Explain it to them

Must be nice knowing you don't give a **bleep** about scamming someone. All these excuses

They're fishing for newbies to the coin game. Copying other scammer posts

Explain why you are abusing and accusing other members?
And having a tantrum at factual replies
Nobody here has listed these coins
Nobody here is responsible for scamming anyone
Nobody is finding reasons why it 'is ok' to list these
Nobody here has supported scammer sellers buy buying said coins
Take it up with those people. People who keep scammers in business
Nobody here has to explain the listings you have reported to the police, that is for you do

First of all, the opprobrium is not permitted on the boards; the moderators give a bit of leeway in the spirit of characterful freedom of expression and Shakespearean liveliness, but you’ve probably crossed the line here.
Secondly, you have used the term without cause, appear to have misunderstood the substance and form of the post to which you’ve replied, and assumed (the Lord only knows why) that davewil is a seller of the coins about which you are so perturbed.
You’ve made similar replies to sugar and sandypebbles, and adjured paperjack to “figure it out”.
It’s been pointed out that buyers need to be aware of scams and help themselves by not buying out of ignorance. That does not equal “We approve of scammers” or giving scammers a free pass; it’s merely pointing out the old old adage “Caveat emptor”.
No one who’s posted here is selling these coins or pretending that they are rare.
It has however been pointed out that putting an unrealistic price on an item is not the same thing as scamming someone. A scam would involve misrepresentation as to the item’s authenticity or brand or function etc. I think it’s a bit of a fine line - but saying that an item is rare (when it’s not) is qualitatively different to saying an item is X when it’s actually Y. Let’s say a seller claims that silver sugar tongs are by Hester Bateman when they’re actually by an unknown silversmith, or that they’re solid silver when they’re silver plated (or just a silver coloured cheaper metal) or a modern reproduction not even of the period …
Do you see what I mean? Those examples are different to a seller listing said silver tongs by Hester Bateman and saying their design by Bateman is incredibly rare and that they’re worth thousands of pounds. Even a cursory look will show a new inexperienced collector that the design is not extraordinarily rare and will see the average price. It’s puffery. If done deliberately to fool a potential buyer, it would be foolish and unlikely to get many nibbles; it’s so easily disproved!
I wouldn’t do it myself (if I were a seller) but it wouldn’t get a seller charged with a crime.
Ditto with the coin sellers of the coin you’ve mentioned.
Clearly this is upsetting you personally… but that is no excuse for making false accusations and name-calling.
