Another way to sell your drek...

 

Am I the dummy here?

 

I bought one and got this VF 8.0-ish Judge Colt...

 

 

$6.86 down the drain.

 

Should I try another one in the hopes of getting the ASM 129???

Pretty sure they are complete frauds. Wouldn't be too hard for shill accounts or friends to drop $6 on an auction and leave some fake feedback saying they got the Hulk 181 they were promised

No.

 

I've seen these posted by numerous Ebaycaphites over the years and I don't believe them for a minute...

 

They do the same thing with the coins.

 

"Unsearched Wheat roll- 1914D GEM MONSTER- RRAAAAHH!"

 

 

 

 

Whatever.

[synch]

Whats annoying is that I am "tempted " by them When I see them I should really know better ... If you feel ripped I'd just leave the guy negative feedback

That title would sure crack me up.

[Hibou]

Thirdgreenham... I'm not sure if I made that title up or I really saw that once!

 

And RMA...

 

... I bet you found that in the unsearched SHOE BOX of Wheats, huh?

I did one a few months ago and it actually wasn't bad. It was $9.99 and the "chase" book was an Avengers 1. I bought 3 and obviously didn't get the Avengers 1 but I got a pretty decent 8.0ish Iron Man in the low 30's, a Sgt fury #61 that is 9.0ish and then some drek book I don't remember.

 

The Sgt Fury and Iron Man were pretty cool books and probably worth close to 10 bucks anyways so it definitely wasn't the worst $30 I ever spent

It was a HAPPY MEAL box....

When I first entered a "chase", I received a very nice mid-grade TTA #86; one of my friends entered another, and got a 4.0 X-Men (Vol. 1) #1!

 

I suppose it's up to the individual buyer whether to click on the BIN & take a chance, or not...

[Calamerica]

but may I ask what kind of feedback would this seller deserve for sending me something that was not listed in his title???

 

any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

 

CAL the one who should know better than most....

[mikenyc]

Please don't focus on the ridiculous number of misspellings or the ludicrous nature of this listing, the seller offers a "God Bless" at the end so clearly he is legit.

Wow! Since we "out" dishonest eBay sellers, can you provide the eBay name of the seller who had the chase auction and really sent an X-Men #1? He deserves the good publicity.

[Duffman_Comics]

It's a violation of eBay's rules regarding lottery/raffle type listings. Should be reported

Hey! 700 posts! I should hit 1000 by 2014!

[dupont2005]

Sad how even though an honest chase auction could be very profitable the odds of one actually being honest are pretty slim

[goldust40]

It's just a seller indulging in age-old sharp practice. Basically bait-and-switch.

I found a 1914D with my metal detector, in my own front yard! Granted it's not exactly in mint condition. Alas, no 1909S-VDB. (Yet.)
