From the same seller. He’s got some nice coins, I’m sure I’ve seen some decent ones from him in the past too

[JunkBond]

Been offering on this but the guy won't play ball.

I’ve never offered before but I read what @craig12 said on another thread this morning. I’ll try more often in future. I usually auction bid 

[Elements]

This one looks nice like @JohnAnsink ‘S.

The bin price is £209, I only offered £180, bit cheeky but you never know.

If someone buys my 1892 I have up for sale I will up my offer.

Saw that too, edge looks a bit weird to me, still wary of some stuff and still a bit of a novice!

Yes me too. Think that’s why I spend so much time looking to get used to all the varieties. (And also to plan what to potentially buy)

Blimey, I thought I was getting nowhere when the guy only moved a fiver!

Ebay is becoming a hobby in itself, I find myself making a cuppa and sitting watching auctions count down... I am sad!

Why even bother setting the listing with the option to offer if clearly not intending on budging on price? Just set the BIN only price.

Maybe they’re just interested in seeing how cheeky people are.

£180 offer on a £209 BIN is pretty reasonable tbh

[Silvergun]

You might not be interested but a 2016 half is on ebay £157 or best offer , marsh book has mintage at 1000 may be a good long term buy , just a thought

How about 133 for a 2007 half proof?

[JunkBond]

I am following @Sovereign on ebay, can't afford any of his items though!

Of course you can, just grit your teeth and regret it after.

So, you found eBay, that’s one more to bid against, drat?

It’s not that bad on eBay, I have a brilliant collection of 3 gram magnetic half sovs here, you could too?

[Elements]

I’d quite like a 1959
