Online bargaining with strangers often hides pitfalls and equally often disappointments. As happened to a 35-year-old from Quartucciu who on the internet, on a well-known online trading site, bought a British pound in gold minted in 1912 for 250 euros. After making the transfer to the seller, a worker from Catania, he received a coin from 50 cents.

The carabinieri of Selargius, following the investigations following the report of the 35-year-old, denounced the seller on the loose. The defensive line of the latter will probably be to claim that he actually sent the gold coin and proving otherwise will not be easy. But the military still identified him as the one who actually received the transfer.
