False comic sales?

[Crazy Canuck]

I have seen the same FF #9 pacific coast for sale in the past 3 months sold 5 or 6 times at Pedigree Comics. Each time the book sold for a bit more each time. Very suspect!

 

My next observation is not accusatory, just curiosity. Is Doug placing books for sale and then making people believe it then sells for the listed price or close to the price, then a short time period later it is back up for sale for a higher price. It seems very unlikely to me to see the same FF PC copy sell that many times in such a short period of time (5-6 times in 3 months). I interpret it as a lure and hook ploy (can be very effective). It makes the public believe the copy is of high value and extremely sought after, even though the book may have never left Doug's hand until someone actually does place a bid to purchase the book.

 

Thoughts anybody?

Dealers manipulating the market to give the (false) impression of desireability?

 

What next? Lawyers funding their 'uber-sweet' collections with clients' money???

There's the US Mail, there's the sun rising in the east, and then there's F_T taking a shot a DS whenever the opportunity presents.

I was going for regularity, but certainty works just as well.

Since that sale, I've seen it sold on Pedigree Comics 3-4 times. My theory is that it has never left Doug's hand, hence no GPA report. If he sent another GPA sale report, woudn't it be false?

True, it really is getting old and tiresome.

If it didn't sell, then yes it would be false.

 

You could always send him a PM and ask....
