[umbertino]

nope

$.35

.35552x25000=8888

someone did the same thing on craigslist recently

Correct

[tjmunson]

I'm currently the high bidder at $8,889. Jokes on you guys cause I'm gonna win the auction!!!

[umbertino]

They are showing you that rate.....25,000 \ 8,888 = 2.81$ :P :lol:

If that were the case (1 IQD=2.81 USD) then your 25k Dinars would be $70,250.

[vetron]

The math is correct ... in both calcultations presented; we just need the correct conversion denomination:

.35552 cents per Dinar

or

2.81 dinar to the dollar.

25000 / 8888 = 2.81278 dinar per dollar

Reciprocal of 2.81278 (1/that number) = $0.35552 per dinar

Hahaha silly eBay seller, Trix are for kids

I have a real interest on what kind of hullabaloo is going to happen on eBay when the rv happens. Typical sales count on any given moment for dinars of all types (even the saddam ones) runs from 1200 to 1400 listings. Most of them have dinars averaging about $25 to $32 per 25000 note. And much higher for the low denoms. It's been this way for as far back as October 2009 that I know of and probably earlier than that. So all the sellers are fully aware that when the RV hits and the prices change to meet the market at the other on-line selling establishments there will be a mad rush of buyers to get there dinars at lower costs while they can at eBay. The sellers are ready to make big money believe you me. Add to this the confusion about zeros, lops or no lops, and what the heck are we really getting out of the rv, I'll be glad to just watch the eBay travesty and do nothing else. I see nothing but major lawsuits on the way there.

This seller has jumped the gun, I'd say just a little bit.

Well ... There is a sucker born every minute. Last time I remember some Japanese people buying them for a high rate. Anyone rememebr that article?

Wow, he's tossing in a 10 G note to boot and he has 100 % feedback....

Awww isn't he so nice to just throw in the extra 10 G note.

[Rhorse]

This is brilliant, actually.... He's the first to think of it

Yes, I do remember that... That created mistakenly ( through article titles) the idea of the "Dinar scam" in Japan when in actuality the scam part was only due to the fact those folks had been charged an exorbitant amount ( can't recall how much) for their purchases.

He is fishing for the uninformed investor. You would be surprized what some people will bid on. There are those out there that have more money than sense.

Yes. I noticed that too. This is way too weird. He must either be on to or knows something.

[nursetam]

I saw an one that said if the dinar revalues before the item is shipped the item will be canceled and money will be refunded.

OH WOW!! really? Got link??

[LaGrange]

This person has been listing this on ebay for a couple of years at least. It was pointed out to me on another forum a long time ago.

[nursetam]

It has been awhile since I saw that. Can't find it today.
