So, like....are you saying Baltimore Lauren is a guy? Ooh, never thought of that. So you're suggesting that maybe I had it wrong? That this seller created Lauren, who then created a fake dad, who then had an argument with the seller who created Lauren? Maybe.... Work with me, now.... MAYBE this seller is actually Architect, and he created the CGC boards so he would have a place to create BOTH Lauren AND the seller, in the attempt to sell some krappy Spidey books at inflated prices...and the CGC boards have all been one 7 year long elaborate hoax leading up to this very conclusion....? And, he hired an actor to play Lauren at conventions, and set up the ebay account way back in November of 1999, knowing he would eventially have the CGC boards with which to concoct this elaborate hoax! Think about it! It could be true! Deus Ex Machina!

NUFF SAID! NUFF SAID! NUFF SAID!

If he'd list them here I bet he'd get legit offers unlike the obvious BS offers from Lauren's dad, who always seems to be rife with drama at the purchasing table.

Do you have the list of books and prices?

methinks he'll probably still be able to sell to the non-boardie ebay traffic with no problems.

'NUFF SAID

Did they get you for an ipod that never showed up? The only thing I can find about them is that in 2006 it was believed they were in Russia. Sounds like they were in the US temporarily and snagged some travel money before departing. 100 x $300-$500=$30,000-$50,000

Don't we all. oh noes! Don't burden me with high grade slabbed Spideys. What ever shall I do. This would be my reply to the fool.... Ask him if he wants some cheese to go with that WHINE. Then offer to pick up the phone and dial WHINE-one-one so the Waaaaaaahmbulance can come pick him up. Am now filled with the urge to watch episodes of Mad Men.

Good question, but dare I say my dad has a rather unique email address? I'm not sure of many American's with the name 'Roxette' in their email. But even if it was a case of mistaking identity, wouldn't the seller notice eventually? Well if he seems to think that he has a deal struck with someone, then obviously he didn't just make it up unless he's been sitting around smoking dope for the last month non-stop. Or at least I'd think he didn't just make it up. It's possible he saved your dad's e-mail address in a address book and mislabeled it. Like if you saved mine under Bob Jones you might just see Bob Jones in your address book instead of my e-mail address. I'd still call him.

If that is the case, then he owes your dad a huge apology. Call the spoon I say!

Do you think it's at all possible that he got your dad confused with another customer? Like maybe similar e-mail addresses or first names or something? This just doesn't seem like something that someone would 100% fabricate. Like maybe he thought he was talking to BaltimareLaurel's dad and not BaltimoreLauren's dad. See what I mean?

Excuse me? No. My dad is 59 and is sharper then I am! I did however log back through his email, and he never sent such a list. I did wonder that at first (I'm sorry if I sound offended but it's a rather personal question to ask). I usually check his email on a daily basis (because I'm a snoop) and I even questioned myself if I would forget something like that. But again, nada! No need for apologies. I always try to dig a little in stories like these, just because generally there are two sides to every story, and I didn't literally want to know if your dad had some debilitating condition ;-) I just wanted to make sure that if your dad slipped this guy a list, the guy didn't spend five months cherry picking his purchases and then sent them off to be slabbed and then gets the ol' "Uhm, what are you talking about?" routine.

How old is your dad? Does he have a touch of the alzies? If the answer is "No" to the 2nd one then the guy is way out of line. But if your dad did send him some sort of want list back in even say March and just forgot then I could see this guy getting a little ticked. BUT I would never treat a customer like this, you gotta use more tact than this imo.

I picked up more than 70 Hot Wheels this weekend for $5.00. They're loose and some have chipped paint and the kid had the box marked $0.25 each, but when asked what he'd take for the whole box he said $5.00 and it was sold. Ever since then my 20 month old son has been very proudly showing off his shoe box full of hot wheels. He's incredibly cute carrying the box as it's almost too heavy for him to pick up. There were some comics at the sale as well, but they were 90s DC with spine damage so that's an obvious no go.
