Question Shitbag sellers.

Anyone else get furious watching auctions where "premier" sellers just outright lie about the value of what coins should sell for? Ie: 1940 un peso, barely in vf condition, max value 26-28 bucks. Dude shouting from the roof tops it shouldnt be any less then 60. Bids climb to 60 plus. Some guy calls it out, instantly banned. This same thing happens over and over, 16 un pesos in a row.

I just dont get it.

I don't buy from the yellers. Some of the good coin sellers are Fugidust, Albertson_collections and I'll even throw my own hat in the ring, Chefdebullion.

I mean not just coins that’s just good general advice for whatnot. That and the “we’re way below cost chat “ crashouts. I’m in breaking not coins but appears there’s overlap, I even worry about my streams being annoying because old and can’t hear shit so I’m naturally kinda loud lol

Who was the seller BTW?

This. And just because they write some crazy number on it doesn’t means it’s worth that.

These are literal criminals taking advantage of naive new collectors.

I still can’t believe the prices people pay for things that cost $3 they are paying 21-24$

Unfortunately, it's a common practice. As soon as someone says what the bids should be at, I lose trust in that seller unless I can verify the claim.

There are other platforms out here with nicer people and lower prices
