I think it's time to rattle this guy's cage- AF 15?

[CatskillMike]

Okay, I found this ad on craig's List a couple of weeks ago. I sent him an email asking for pics/scansd of the AF 15 he has listed. No response. So after a few days I send him another email under a different account asking him if the books are still available. He says yes, so I ask him for some pics. He says absolutely, later tonight. Needless to say, I get nothing. He then posts a pic of AF 15 on the ad itself, looks like a stock photo.

 

Now looking at the list of the collection, The AF15 sticks out like a sore thumb; it doesn't fit the rest. I think he needs his cage rattled. Anyone?

 

Oh yea, he says the AF15 is mint.

I live close to there. I'll see if he is interested in a face to face exchange. I'll see if I can set it up this evening from my home computer.

[Rabidcamel]

Some sellers are sooooo gullable.

[DR.X]

Yeah, sure.

I notice in the listing of the A.F. #15 he says "official". Not original.

I'm about 25 minutes away. I'll also inquire about a face to face.

[ivegotneatstuff]

there ya go... hopefully you'lll end up buying a 9.4 file copy work 200k

[Spider-Variant]

Ok, I sent him an email, asking him the condition, stating that I would pay in cash and would want to pick it up in person.

Ok, I sent him an email. Asking condition and that I would pay in cash and pick it up in person.

 

I'll bet he says no, but offers a full refund if not satisfied

Yes, it's a wonderful business model. I'll turn down $3500 in cash because I can't bother to drive to a public place.

 

 

[Spider-Variant]

I did get a reply and it only answered the condition question. I'll send another tonight to see if I can get additional photos and such.

if i was to sell an original AF15 i would be refreshing the page every second, answering any question coming my way. this seems like a joke. i wouldnt even waste my time. but you could get lucky. i bet if anything its a milehighcomic NM grading.

[drewincanada]

The listing now says "Amazing Fantasy #15 Aug. 1962 (reprint)".

[Spider-Variant]

Yes, I think it was just a seller who thought his/her comics were worth more than they actually are. The AF#15 did stick out like a sore thumb and hence all the interest. I'll give this person the benefit of the doubt that they are just uninformed about comics.

[Duffman_Comics]

You're kidding, right?

 

Lists all the books for $3500, gets called on the AF15, adds the "reprint" description and drops the asking price $2000 to $1500.

 

Yeah, he doesn't know what he's doing

Wait, so you think this person is planning to sell these books at that price?

[CatskillMike]

The seller knew all along, that's why he never sent me any scans/pics on the very first day I asked.
