    You work hard for your money, so don’t give it to some scammer online! Have you ever been scammed on eBay?

    Definitely misleading listing. Ebay does needs to crack down on the coin rolls. I've seen many pathetic listings for unsearched bank rolls.

      I really with eBay would do something about it, but until people start making a bigger drink they won’t. I almost didn’t buy it, because I wasn’t sure if I’d get my money back on it; but lucked out. And I’m glad I did, so hopefully people will see it and think twice before trying to get rich quick. Thanks for watching my friend 👽🤙🏻

    Nate, I think you're nuts for purchasing the odd listings off of eBay. At the same time, it's BRILLIANT content for your channel. Great video, brother. Keep up the phenomenal content. By the way, the coins shown in the listing definitely "looked" silver. At least you get your money back. 😉🤙🏼🛸👽

      I think they’re fun! This was almost against my better judgment, because I wasn’t sure I’d get my money back; but I thought it would make a good video. It was short, but it was fun lol. Thanks for being here my friend! I appreciate you 👽🤙🏻

    That's sad I guess they are banking on all the people that don't open and check the rolls. Alot of scammers on ebay get 100% good feedback because they make a seperate account and buy their own item.

    • @alienatedhistory
      @alienatedhistory  Před 9 měsíci +1

      It is sad and I hate it. It’s a shame that people really feel no remorse about what they’ve done. When I contacted the seller, they never once acknowledged that they placed a scam ad. It’s wild. Thank you for being here my friend! 👽🤙🏻

    My Dad bought Silver Eagles from China for a little less than buying from a reputable dealer in the US. When he got the coins he said I could have one. I brought a magnet with me to test them. The magnet stuck like the coin was made of steel. I looked at the Ebay ad and it said that the coins were made from German Silver. I looked it up and that is not Silver made in Germany but a metal alloy used to make imitation Silverware with. I sent back the coins for my Dad and he got a refund. I also found out that certain Chinese companies have licenses to make counterfeit Coins. I now tell everyone to never buy Coins from China.

    • @alienatedhistory
      @alienatedhistory  Před 8 měsíci

      Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. The Chinese counterfeits are getting way out of hand. It’s good your dad got a refund, but most aren’t so lucky. I appreciate you being here. Thank you!

      Either this one, or the other half of the roll lol. The other half was up too and had the exact same description. Once I sent a message saying it was false advertising and a scam, they edited it. Goes to show you that they knew what they were doing. Appreciate you being here my friend! 👽🤙🏻
