Newbies: Ebay auction to avoid

[GentsInstinct]

Scratch that. It does look like a Senator. I was thrown off by the patent number versus the year claimed. Darn, should have bought it at that BIN price too. Looking out for others cause me to miss a Senator!! Grrrrrrrrr

Posting links to Buy-it-now listings is okay (at least, as far as I know). And it probably still had that option when you posted it, but it appears someone has put in a bid now. So, it will probably need to be deleted. Anyways, I saw it earlier and it appears to be a Senator. But the serial number and patent date provided by the seller doesn't make sense for a Senator. Hmm ...

For my part, I wouldn't buy from a seller with less than a 99.5% rating, either.

Yes, BIN links are acceptable.

I agree. Especially if they are at 99.5% with less than 500 or more FB's.

it looks like its still available, but the numbers dont match the senators numbers of 400621, the ones he gave are a 1921 single ring. maybe hes reading it from the case?

Probably so. At least you all know I wasn't crazy and actually was thrown off by something!

Looks like it would clean up well or be a good candidate for replating. Did you say that wasn't the original case?

Folks, at this point this appears to be a discussion of an active ebay listing, and thus disallowed. With thanks to the OP for attempting to help our newer members, I'm locking this thread.
