I wish I had a chance to get at this hoard, or else I could have "disposed" of the notes for the cleaning crew

A well known seller has many notes for sale on ebay right now from an old hoard. I wonder if this is from the same hoard.

If you are referring to the several lots of notes, around 9 or 12, from a hoard being sold by eBay seller "Ma's Attic", they were delisted by eBay. I know because I had bid on 6 lots and eBay sent me their notice that they had been pulled

. Does any member know the actual reason why these certain lots were delisted? I know that she is in good standing and I have bought some of her notes in the past.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. The notes were deleted from eBay because of a Power Seller logo infraction but they have since been relisted and are experiencing heavy bidding activity.

The seller (ma*s_attic) is the same seller who offered several Choice/Gem Unc $50 1937 Osborne-Towers notes a year or two ago but they turned out to be pressed. The seller has been rumoured to have links to a Canadian operation.

I was wondering why the listing was shown as unavailable for a *DE note I was watching for the wiki when I looked at the bookmark I saved. The problem is, what is the entire reason as to these listings were pulled, because all we have to go on is rumors and hearsay.

EDIT: Apparently, it was because of the fact that the user had been inactive for a while, so the PowerSeller designation had lapsed, even though the PowerSeller mark was still in the logo.
