Yes, I've been burned.
Several years ago there was a "challenge coin" on ebay. I bid but someone else bought it. Then the seller wrote to me personally saying he had "one left" and would I like to buy it for $14? Like a fool, I fell for it.
It was a piece of crap - paint peeling off, spots of corrosion, and poorly made in the first place. I tossed it in the trash and chalked it up to experience.
Since then, it seems hundreds more have been listed under various bogus names (Texas hold-em, BigBro, Founders Coin, etc.), anything the sellers can think up.
In my opinion, they are garbage.
This is a good thread for warning other brothers about items to stay away from - our own little "consumer reports".
ZAX,
Jono
