How not to run an auction!

[Red Hook]

Sometimes I just throw my head back and laugh! Man, what a DUNCE!

 

No actual CGC grade listed ( I assume 4.0) and the scans look like they are outtakes from the Zapruder film!

Really, here is a seller with over 200 transactions, and this thing looks like an auto accident!

 

They haven't created a Graemlin that would express my howls of laughter on this one!

 

Hahahahaha! Oh, man! Sometimes life is good!

Interesting gamble huh?

It doesn't really matter what the heck it is! It made my day! What a hoot! Who does he expect would be enticed by this presentation? Please don't strain your eyes Rocket, we'll leave it to CSI!

Every other scan is perfect....check out this comic one

 

Spidey example

 

Wouldn't be trying to pull a swiftey?????

It says VG in the title so............I would hazzard a guess that it's a VG. I can make out the VG 4.0 blurr right now since I've had a few beers.

 

I like to buy books from these type of auctions, because the picture quality etc will scare a lot of normal bidders away so you can pick up the books a little cheeper in most cases

It says CGC VG in his auction title.

mind you I wouldn't be hitting that BIN price for a VG.

Right, and the folks here on the boards could probably give you the corresponding number for every one of those letter grades off the top of their heads. I originally was convinced that this was an intentional blurring (no pun intended) of the details of the item, but after looking at the other items the seller has auctioned (mainly sports cards), I suspect he just isn't very good at taking pictures with his camera.

 

The clear images of comics he has had up, were probably just lifted scans from other sources.

 

It's still a pee-poor way to try to get you item sold. I've seen 4.0s that were pretty nice and 4.0s that were hideous. That ASM could be either.
