Oddly enough, Metropolis also listed one in 6.5 today - no scan is up yet though Yea but Metropolis' is OW/W, the scam was a cream to OW if I remember correctly.

Yea I know I want that book too but its 99.9% a scam. Ask him for a skype call of him showing you the book. probably easiest way to determine realness. if he balks its a scam.

I think jimmy can handle himself. From what I understand, he spits hot fire

Tell him that you will be glad to wire him the $1200 BUT your funds have recently been frozen but if he sends you a check for $500 you will be able to return the $500 plus the $1200, o and that you are of course a Nigerian Prince

You might be right miraclemet. if you look in one of the pictures you can see the reflection of an overhead light, the kind used in convention centers as part of a lighting system, not the kind of lighting one has in their house. Would explain all the weird angles and the horrible zoom/centering.

I'd go with your impression Jimmy. I just thought it was a scam given the fact that the person just registered and just ran in throwing up a high end book, with no introduction, no price no nothing. I do wish there was a way for locking threads or something so that we dont just poof them goodbye but instead have them around if needed to look at. O well.

Damn we just had another scammer (trying to sell a Daredevil vs. Hitler 6.5 old label) What is going on lately with all the scamming??

Miraclemet just FYI it was a Tec 33 4.0 that he claimed he was selling.

Hi Jo Seph. I am very glad that Dillon is communicating with you and attempting to work something out. I just felt I needed to add in my 2cents on this whole situation because I think it speaks to how a lot of boardies have been feeling lately. The boards are not eBay or Comiclink or some other method of buying or selling books. It is a community, Some people actually become friends and like to talk/hang out. We all share a wonderful common thread, comics. Recently there has been a rash of issues where people just pop up and start trying to "dump" books. This mentality is not conducive to a healthy community. People come in, get their money, and move on. They don't care if the book arrives safely, if there is a problem, or how to make the next recipient of the book happy with their purchase. I believe that most boardies feel that they can get that kind of sale on eBay or at a crappy LCS. I won't speak for other boardies on this but for me personally it leaves a bad taste in my mouth that Dillon was more concerned about getting paid then waiting to follow up with you and try to get the situation resolved. It was the speed of the reposting which gives the feel that he does not care about a good sale and transaction but rather just wants his money. Getting to a resolution took weeks and really only started when the P-List tar and feather brigade started. For Dillon, we are not expecting perfection. Everyone makes mistakes. Hell I screwed up a few days ago. I sold a bunch of ASM slabs and was heading to Portugal for a week. I thought I sent out all my slabs before leaving but apparently missed one. A couple of days ago I got a PM asking what was up with the slab. I immediately contacted the buyer and explained the situation (I believe my exact words were "I am so sorry, I *spoon*ed up big time on this. I will get it to you tomorrow" I then overnighted the book to him the next day at my cost because I felt horrible that he had paid for a book he hadn't received after waiting 2 weeks for. In this case it wasn't about money (I spent 1/4 of the purchase price getting him the book) it was about making sure that I fixed a mistake and making the buyer happy (who has assured me he is quite happy) I know you probably feel like everyone is ganging up on you right now but realize that the people here view this as a community and when a person "messes" with a member of the community, we take it personally as an affront to ourselves (Not sure if you were in a fraternity in college but I was, and yes this is the reason why we have terms like "rollout" because when someone messes with one member of the fraternity, they are messing with the whole fraternity.) The best thing to do is to take your lumps and I am sure most people will give you a second chance, I know I will if you are upfront about what happened and are really interested in making amends to Jo Seph, not to get back in our good graces but instead to fix a bad situation. Because at the end of the day, thats what this community wants and needs, people who want to be part of the community and make it better. Ok everyone, sorry for the long rant but I needed to share my opinion of this whole situation (which I watched from the beginning as I was in that original sale thread, one of the first I was in.)

It is always a sad day when the PL has to be updated to add people I haz a sads

Dan bought a nice Yellow label slab from me. Paid instantly and was a great communicator. Great asset to the community.

Cal bought two asm books from me. Payed immediately and was a great communicater. A real asset to the community. Looking forward to future transactions with cal!

My thought is as follows. Until the book reaches the buyer it is the sellers responsibility. It is the job of the seller to pack the book in such a way that it should not be damaged in shipment. Personally I would either offer a partial refund to the point that would make the buyer feel good at the level of the book they received and not what was supposed to be purchased or offer a full refund minus return shipping. Just my

Great transaction! Book is gorgeous! Fair price and great payment option. Will definitely do business with again!

Flawless transaction. Joey bought a a small key from me and it was a flawless transaction, he paid in minutes! Thanks for a great transaction will definitely do business with him again!

What about a two tier sales system, vetted by the community? There would be the lower level sales thread where anyone can post and then a upper level thread where only people who have 1) Completed a set number of successful sales and 2) Been vouched for by 2 separate upper level members can post sales. This means if you are buying in this thread you are more or less safe, and that in the lower level you are taking a greater risk. Personally I don't want this to be e-bay. I come here because I love comics and I love seeing everyones books and having discussions about comics. Just my 2cents

Bought a Hulk 181 from Rodney. Came through fast and shipped nice and safe. Book looks great. A++

Bought an ASM 38 for a great price. It was graded at a 7.5 but honestly looks better than that. Great GREATTTT transaction.

Bought an ASM slab from Jeremy. Super transaction, very very quick shipping, great book and super communication. Will definitely buy from again!
