Re: There's a sucker born everyday...

Well you picked up on the "sucker" part, so I'd say you're not missing much. I love the link from that page for the "Pound of Wheat Pennies" for only 19.99. Let's see, how many wheat pennies in a pound, 150 maybe? Great deal. And they claim that they haven't been searched through. Yeah, right. I'd bet dollars to donughts you wouldn't find a wheat in that pound that was worth more than 3 cents.

Re: There's a sucker born everyday...

I love the question/answer:

Q: how many do u think it has of the 2010 penny rolls in side the box Jan-26-10
A: They are mixed circulated pennies who knows what penny you will find in these boxes maybe errors p mints d mints and s mints but the 2010 penny has not came out so I know these pennies will not be in there. The 2010 deal means 2010 deal it's 2010 and it is a deal. Thank You Dmae0742 Dan

It's private so noone will contact the "sucker" and clue him in.

Re: There's a sucker born everyday...

lots of suckers in this world. but sometimes these type of auctions go unpaid I believe, I remember when ps3 came out and were selling for crazy amounts but so many buyers were not paying. but congrats to the seller making easy cash...

Speaking about stupid people, did anyone noticed that a while back at wally-world a gallon of milk was $1.78, and the half gallon was $1.98? :icon_scratch: I'm sorry, but there are some really stupid people out there. :tongue3:

Chainchomp, tell me about it. I was at the convenience store, and they were having a sale. It was $1.25 for a 32 ounce bottle of Gatorade, and $1.50 for a 16 ounce bottle of Gatorade.

Re: There's a sucker born everyday...

Whats the problem? If someone wants to pay you three times face value for a coin would you turn them down?

Everyone here pays face value and wants at least 11 times face.

The only problem I have with this guy is the large type, bad English and bad spelling. I would probably sweeten the deal and throw in a roll of wheats for free.
