It slightly surprises me to think anyone (of sane mind) wouldn’t be suckered into buying these ludicrously overpriced coins, but sadly they do and the need for people like yourself Christopher to debunk them.
Great stuff Christopher & BCC 👍🏻
I'd hate to think people got ripped off for really common circulating coins. This is why you should always do your homework before buying -CC
There are some suspect chancers online ... knowledge is key and this is a very useful video. Sometimes you see a high price then the next listing down is somewhat lower but still well over the coins value.... tricking collectors into thinking they have found a bargain. Great video bcc happy days 🥋👍
Oh exactly! You have to do your homework especially if you are considering spending that amount of money -CC
If the Churchill Crown was as valued in that listing, then I would have to thank you more profusely, Christopher, as you sent me one last year at no cost .. you even signed it. I noticed you missed the enormous amount of "high value" 1971 2p coins that plague Ebay!
Hahahaha! Yes I have sent out quite a few that would be rather expensive at those prices -CC
Thank you so much for covering this, its so frustrating to see these scams
Glad you liked the video! -CC
Its not called the bay of thieves for nothing. At least Dick Turpin wore a mask LOL
Hahahahahaha! -CC
Great video Christopher and BCC - I buy from e-bay regularly but not at the prices you’ve quoted there - lol.
I don’t see these people so much as scammers because presumably you get the coins.
I do see them as chancers but they only need to sell a small %of coins to make a killing.
I don’t think its possible to embarrass them into stopping sadly as they have no scruples.
Keep up the good work 👍
Very good points! I also think some of them must be people who have seen coins listed at stupid prices, have found one and genuinely believe that is the going price so list it for sale -CC
These people needs to be reported as scammers
If there was a 'this listing is massively overpriced' button they'd all have gotten that ticked -CC
Cannot believe that people would charge such prices better prices on this site as I have purchased some.
Agreed! Goes to show you should always do your homework before making quick purchases -CC
Excellent video, Christopher 👍
Could this be regular thing ?
A "What the Fudge" coin deal of the week ?
Hahahaha! I love that idea! -CC
I wondered when you would expose the the madness of eBay thank you
Absolutely shocking, and so true!
Some eye watering prices! -CC
Brilliant video Christopher! Without boring you with all the blahdy, I've just come in to a wee bit of money 💰 and I think you've just saved me a few hundred of it! I've always wanted a error, but this has been a great eye opener. Cheers.
Glad you saw the video first then! I hope you get some amazing coins! -CC
I chocked on my coffee at the price of those coin’s. Excellent video Christopher 👌👍
Thanks! It was pretty astounding to see some of the prices! -CC
I want to know the outrageous price of a Christopher Ironsides. I've heard there's a guy who has lots of them, thinking it was a good idea at the time. Asking for a friend. 😋
Hahahaha! Maybe we will feature that one in a follow up video -CC
Those figures made my eyes water 😂. Thanks BCC
You and me both haha! It was great fun finding all the listings though -CC
Great expose!
Glad you enjoyed! -CC
Hi Christopher, I'm glad to see we are not the only ones in Australia that have NUMNUTS that think we are all like them I hope they get their just desserts.
Yes I think there are plenty of them the world over haha! -CC
I tend to buy the coins i need from The Britannia coin Company you do have a good selection but sadly not all that i would like
Thanks! Glad you have found some coins through us. We are always adding more and more onto our website so keep an eye out or contact us directly if you want something that isn't listed on our website -CC
Honestly ebay is a struggle at times, have these ridiculous listings ever paid off? I look forward to making my first purchase from your website soon.
Who knows let's hope not though! Thanks for checking out our website! -CC
Some jokers out there chancing their luck. Thanks for giving this issue some exposure to any who are a bit on the gullible side and easily taken in….
Yes and goes to show you should always do your homework before making a purchase! -CC
Similar insane overpriced Euro coins can be found on our Dutch site Marktplaats. There are so many examples, it is ridiculous. I have tried to warn people for this kind of scam but Marktplaats did not like that and removed my notification. The same goes for Etsy where circulation coins of no particular value are sometimes priced in the thousands of Euros. I am surprised by the fact that such 2nd hand sites allow these attempts to ripp off somebody. Very bad practice. Maybe more of these videos should follow to draw people's attention to this robbery.
It is a real shame and just goes to show you need to do your homework before making a purchase, especially if you are looking to spend this kind of money on coins -CC
Thanks Christopher i would love a Kew 😢
I've just found 4 Benjamin Bunnies in a hunt. By these calculations I'm over £43 grand better off! 😂😂. Seriously this is something that Ebay, Amazon or whoever should be removing from their sites.
Imagine what I'd be worth if I had kept all the hundreds I have found haha! I'll see you in the Bahamas we could get ourselves some nice mansions haha -CC
It really annoys me when these chancers list these coins. All it takes is for somebody who doesn’t know to buy one and get ripped off. This is where your videos come in to try and prevent them from being sold 👍
Yes hopefully the video helps. I think sometimes it is people seeing these crazy prices being listed then finding one and listing it themselves too it's a circle of crazy prices -CC
These scams are all over the place I found a 2 euro 2002 italia Dante Alighieri, and after searching online I found it being sold for ridiculous amounts, there is one for sale for over 1000 euro. So I thought that maybe I have a real gem here. But after doing some proper research I found out that the coin isn't worth much at all. People are so slimy these days.
Problem is Chris there is always someone who would pay it, and get there fingers burned in the process.
You could buy a £17,999.50 car for the Kew Gardens coin and demand for it back as change! ;)
Hahahahaha! Very true -CC
Is the Royal Mint going to produce more 50p Dimosaur coins ?
I hope so! They were a really fun collection of coins! -CC
If I had £10,000 to spend on coins, I would probably buy pure silver and gold coins as an investment. I would also get the best quality 1p coins from each monarch.
A much more sensible investment! -CC
Great video. I always wonder if any poor fools actually buy these coins. If not why would they advertise. Anyway it is a widespread occurrence and I just did a quick eBay search and found a “Battle Of Hastings 1066 50p Coin *Super Rare* “ for a mere £749,250 but you had to collect it in person!
Wow! That is one hefty price tag! -CC
@@BritanniaCoinCompany you’d need to take G4 with you
A coin is only worth what someone is willing to pay but there's a seller on a established site that asks ridiculous prices! The seller uses a colour and bodypart ! This sellers prices are off the chart yet is featured when you look up prices, the seller must have some success to afford premium advertising. I feel sorry for the people who have purchased coins or think it must true
That is very true! You have me stumped on your seller riddle though I will keep trying to work it out though -CC
I have had two high street antique dealers attempting the upside-down edge-inscription "error" play with me, one of which wanted £175 for a British Army commemorative £2 coin. I played dumb the first time and let him gabble on. The second time, I challenged it, stating that it is officially not an error, as declared by the royal mint. His face looked lop-sided as if he was about to have a stroke when it occured to me he must have paid something ludicrous himself to acquire it. I kind of felt bad afterwards, because he was a lovely person. So I bought a nice 9 piastre George VI 1940 silver coin at the right price (£12). It's my favourite coin to date. Every coin has a story, and mine has added to it.
Oh dear! Just goes to show how prevalent some of this errors that aren't really errors have become -CC
@@JJJKKOKJAY yep. Why are you crying?
@@JJJKKOKJAY aaahahaaa? Ho.
.I paid £2 for a technology coin .is that too much
Sounds spot on to me -CC
I’ve got the Benjamin Bunny coin and my god 10,000 quid is hella’ overpriced.
Just a bit hahahaha -CC
Christopher, either you’re the luckiest man alive with how many Kew Gardens you have or you have hunted through a lot 😂 I’m still hunting btw
Yeah I'd like to know how many kews he has and also how many toshas too?
Bit of column A, bit of column B hahaha -CC
4 kews found and I still have them. No Tosha Cats .... yet hahaha
@The Britannia Coin Company of Royal Wootton Bassett I have an circulated kew in a flip, piedfort kew, and 2009 proof kew set 😁 I love coins 🪙 😍
@@BritanniaCoinCompany come on Christopher a Tosha is only £200 - £300 treat yourself - could be sometime finding one in a hunt lol
