Whats up with this comic auction ? Something doesn't look right since these go for $250 ?

What doesn't look right ? the angle of the scan... or that someone has decided to throw away hundreds of extra dollars to make sure they not only have a perfectly awesome comic book (9.6), they have an almost totally perfect comic book? yea, I know...someday this almost perfect copy of xmen 141 will be invaluable.

Notice the guy who had a $300 bid retraction ? At the time he bid, the auction stood at $210 and his excuse was 'Entered Wrong Bid Amount'. 30 seconds after retracting he bid $240. Easy mistake huh ? Wonder what the reserve was ? And you have to admire the winner who managed 22 bids on the auction !

It doesn't look that bad.

It does look like two shills or perhaps newbies who completely lost control.
