"Impossible Silver Age Collection"

[cheetah]

At least see if she'll front the cash for airfare to Afghanistan. I wouldn't trust the Afghan post office with something so valuable.

This is a scam, this guy has been discussed here before. Photoshopped AF 15 White Mountain....DONT DO IT!!

This looks fishy. I know where you found this guy.. and I see that he is spamming his ad in multiple places. It looked to me like someone was playing a joke or setting some people up to be scammed. Perhaps the books are stolen goods? Out of respect for the original poster, I won't divulge where I found the ad (in case it turns out to be legit), but I fear for his personal safety, and cash on hand, if he chooses to visit this guy.

 

Some strageness about the situation:

 

- His photo shows only a few of the books in his list but also a Tales of Suspense #39 that is not mentioned in his ad.

 

- He claims that one of the AF #15s is in vf/nm 9.0 condition.

 

- The other AF #15 is in 2.5 VG condition. (huh??)

 

- The Spidey #1 is so white, it looks like it just came out of an inkjet printer. (It's as white as the backing board.)

 

Seems too good to be true to me. Be careful, limited66!

 

Here's the image in question:

 

I swear I have seen that comforter on these boards somewhere.

 

I knew I recognized that table top from another thread!

 

from: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2128936&fpart=1

 

I had compared it to the white mountain copy in this animation.

The ebay listing is gone from about a yr ago, but you can clearly see the tablecloth and the two AF 15s side by side from the original thread photo.

what'd I tell you....

Tell her you're stationed in Afghanistan too, and you want to see the books in person. If she gives you some reason why she can't, like security, say you're a colonel with full high security clearance and you're ORDERING her to comply. Then when she gives some other b/s excuse, say you're going to have some of your NSA boys track her down. Say "and if this is a scam, I WILL find out and I WILL send your arse to Gitmo!"

 

Come on, ya gotta!

even with their email being a GMAIL email account.

Also, I'm so pleased that Obama and the IMF are working together to get me my money.

 

Seriously, I got this email and it made me laugh for a good 10-15 minutes. I feel zero sympathy for anyone who falls for these scams. How could you be that stupid?

 

The IMF? Really?

You could always send her a copy of 'Hey, Boss!'

[namisgr]

I'm concerned that this magnificent, original owner comic book collection, so lovingly and painstakingly assembled by her dear, deceased grandfather, is now at risk in an active war zone! Stop the war!!

They used to use copies of 'Hey Boss!' in Gitmo, but switched to waterboarding because it was deemed more humane.

I am currently stationed in Kabul,Afganistan in Marine Corps and the comics are here with me.

 

I'm sure all the Marines took their Silver Age comics worth hundreds of thousands of dollars over with them to Afganistan and keep them in their foot locker.

 

[slym2none]

That's nothing. Robert Mueller, head director of the FBI, keeps e-mailing me about how rich I am about to be. Just wait, suckers! I'm gonna get that money and buy everything you all here have!!!

Just happened to be trolling through Craigslist and came across her ad earlier this week. I replied and asked for pics and a list and received the exact (word-for-word) email and pics Donut posted. She said she "wants to do the deal on eBay for safety" so I replied and told her to email me with the item number when the books are listed on eBay so I can bid. Still waiting for my reply...

[awe4one]

The Marine Corps Divorce Afghanistan story is very familiar. I'm pretty sure there was a boardie that got the same mail a few years ago...

 

Yep...this story is very familiar...

There's so much opportunity that I let slip by every day. If only I would respond to some of the e-mails I receive daily, I could...

 

* lose weight without exercising

* reinvigorate my sex life for $1.85 a mg

* get nominated for any degree of my choice

* save 80% on all pharmaceuticals

* double my income by driving a truck

* meet some hot Russian singles

* lose weight with thermo-burning acid berry tablets approved by Rachel Ray

* extend myself another few inches for only $4.95

* earn an extra 3K a month by becoming a part-time shoemaker

* become an online Japanese Rolex watch dealer

* save 27% off Immortal Iron Fist 3

 

I could be a skinny, over-educated, pill-popping, bulgy truck drivin’ sex machine with Russian babooshkas hanging off my Rolex-laden arms, and with a smart set of shoes to boot.

 

But I shouldn’t be so selfish. There are so many humanitarian deeds that I could do, like:

 

* participate in the United Nations World Bank Assistance Program by providing Dr. Usman Hassan, Director of ATM in Nigeria, with my personal bank information.

I hate those "johnson extender" mails... I get a couple in my e-mail every day. I finally told my girlfriend "I get the point! Stop sending them to me..."

 

:hehe:
