I am talking with owner right now, he just became aware of it and is contacting ebay to have book pullled. Good laugh, that image of the book was posted I believe only here on boards. It was taken at bank in vault, obviously the pages are from the infamous Action 2.0 with no restoration which was offered at same time as this book...Good watch dogs here...good job guys.

Do you know the owner of this book..? Trying to figure out what the fraud is...I checked PGX census and their is a restored 9.0 so I am assuming the book is legit but the seller isn't?

yes, we know the owner of this book, and he is not selling it on ebay with no reserve...it is a stolen image...

 

Is that Darrells book??!! :o

 

Nevermind......he emailed me :gossip:

What you should do is get together with the seller, agree a commission for him ($100k) and demand payment :devil:

My Ebay Fraud Alert Signal started tingling when I say that the seller was from the Detroit Region. I've driving the 2.5 to 3 hour drive from Indiana to Detroit many times over the past four years for either comic book deals or for my HP DesignJet plotter business.

 

A couple years ago, while at a comic book auction, I saw guns, knifes, junkies, thugs, and a crooked auctioneer who had his 70+ year old father shill bidding. My impression of Detroit has not improved.

 

Detroit is falling into 2nd World territory. i. e. Eastern European.

It is actually better and safer in some Eastern European countries ( I can vouch for that)...

He is a really nice guy to talk to, before the auction starts. I even remember his name, Verne. He says he has all the GA Keys plus all the early Tec's in the #30s and early Actions.

But when the auction starts and if his son gives the signal to start shilling, he turns into a devouring tiger. I've had this happen to me at two separate auctions. And I've talked to a collector that likes to go to this guys auctions just to see the circus acts; dancing thugs, junkie jugglers, shilling tigers.

 

The take-away from this thread is be very cautious in dealing with anyone from around Detroitovakia.

When I lived in Ohio I made the mistake of going to Detroit to see the Red Sox whoop the Tigers. My wife and I drove in on the evening of a 50 cent/Eminem concert (both thugs native to Detroit).

 

I pray I never have to go back.
