Seems a bit odd selling new 1 oz silver lunars for less than spot - seeing how they can go for over $60 when browsing completed auctions.

No legitimate dealer would sell such coins fro less than spot - no way - no how. They are fakes, without a doubt. I'd bet my left testicle on it.

I don't think the Chinese have gotten around to faking them yet and judging by the sellers feedback the only thing he's sold are virtual items so I'm leaning towards a good ole' ripoff.

When browsing who actually bought them i can see several users with over 1000 transactions done. Amazing how retarded some people are and how long it takes for them to learn.

Oh well, i have an order of 10 of these Lunar Snakes from my dealer in Berlin.

The seller claims to be from Texas, but I saw this on the bottom of his auction which leads me to believe he's from China:

Nah, that's not chinese. That's a new font out of Texas called "Tumbleweed Sans Serif." C'mon Madfranks, you should know this!;D

I ran the text through google translate and it came out the other side, "mamboni-san sell you good coin cheap!"

Selling a Lunar silver coin for under spot for a coin that normally sells for a very high premium is very fishy to me in my opinion. The picture of the Lunar coin appears to be a stock photo and that is another red flag to me IMO. Buyer Beware.

He's gotten a few negative feedbacks now.

That tends to happen when you sell something and then fail to deliver the goods. LOL

I wonder why ebay removed the article.. they are probably scared to let people know that there are scammers operating on their overly expensive auction platform.
