IT WAS FRAUD - Add seller to your "Do Not Buy From" List - re: ASM #20 on ebay

[Rabidcamel]

These are the best auctions. I need to finds ones like this.

UPDATE:

 

Called CGC today with bar code number and found out book is missing last page

 

An obvious attempt at ebay fraud

 

They even tried to keep the fraud going by sending me a photo so small I could not read the notes on the label indicating a page was missing

 

I never paid for the book, so I'm not out any $$

 

I am going to contact ebay and try to get them banned

A case of the old 'if it sounds too good to be true...'

I probably saved the 2nd highest bidder from getting ripped off and they don't even know it

 

I was just hoping for a real barain on an auction that ended at 5 AM EST

 

Oh well ....... it didn't cost me any money

 

And I already spoke to someone at ebay on the phone. This guy will probably get banned based on his username alone (it has swearing in it)

Even on that crappy picture you can see that there is writing above the number grade. It was either going to be PLOD or GLOD.

Wow. Crappiest photo ever.

He probably would have got away with it if he had posted that small picture on the auction. Cause it wouldn't had raised no red flags with some people. They would have just said yeah its a slab let me bid on it. dekeuk you just save a whole lot of people time and money.

No doubt,

Backlit by the monitor, no foreground light at all,

 

He was trying to show you the comic and hide the top edge with the cert on it, making it dark enough to not see the green or any details.

I just picked up ASM #20 in GCC 7.0 for $125 (GPA = $300)

 

When you see the auction you will see why it went so low.

 

 

Note to seller:

 

1. take a photo of the actual slab, not stock photos (they use stock photos for the raw comics they were selling too)

 

2. make it clear this is NOT a raw copy (I had to email them just to verify this)

 

3. write a few words in the auction

 

4. don't end the auction at 5 AM EST

 

 

Ok, I don't really know you and hope you all the best. But I do find a little irony in the fact that you came across as a little smug with your "how to do an auction correctly" post only to become a victim.

 

Now, sure you're out no money, but I guess I'm curious did you originally send on your note above to the seller offering him a better way to conduct an auction?
