Coin unique

Postby ultimatecreate » Apr 9th, '06, 15:27



Hey all,

Im really desperately after a coin unique - ideally by eddie gibson - hearing of his exceptionally manufactured products. These seem to be going new for roughly £30 on most sites, but wondered, had anyone bought any of the coin uniques from ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAGIC-COIN-TRICKS ... dZViewItem

The link is above - they are going for about half the price, but wondered whether or not they were half the quality. Anyone help?

Many thanks

Alex

hi

i bought one off ebay, not from this seller, but it wasnt an eddie gobson one.

its absolutely fine no probs.

cant really see how you could buy a dodgy one unless the colours were off which would be fairly extreme

id take the risk, as i think its minimal.

you can always resell it as originally listed.

I bought mine off eBay, it had a differnt name though for copyright reasons or something, called 'coin extraction'. I got it for about £17 and it's brilliant! I'd tell you the sellers name but i really can't remember, sorry.

Never did get my money back. ebay kept saying that it was a paypal issue and nothing to do with them and paypal were basically saying that they had no power to claim the money back, even though they found in my favour.

PP told me that they would award me £4.50 and ask the vendor if he would be willing to pay. As I said, I never did get any money back :cry:
