    Ok...I couldn't resist and bought what would have been a great book at a great price. Figured there was a good chance it was BS, but you only live once right?

    Anyway, I get a tracking number and think...OK, this might work out. A few days later, I get a text saying the box was outside...didn't hear a truck but look outside and guess what? no box...WTF? That night the same exact comic (CGC certified) shows back up on EBAY so I knew it was a scam and I started circling the wagons.

    It turns out empty packages were sent to a recently deceased lady in my town via UPS and the USPS. So I'm basically the mark (self inflicted) of some complex, interstate shipping 3-card monty scam (I'm sure there is a more exciting name for it) which probably involves some kind of insurance fraud as well.

    Anyway, I'm dealing with UPS, PAYPAL and my credit card company and I'm sure it will all get sorted out...I just can't wait to tell the wife that she married a genius.

    Please note that I'm laughing at myself while I write this...don't try this at home.
