Free Listing Day on EBay!

Yeah, it looks like Cliffy done tapped Darth out.

 

Talk about showing your hand early......

 

Then again, maybe Darth's at the bank getting a loan?

 

Yeah I'm refinancing the mortage...great time with all time low rates

 

But that's just for the new bby's benefit, not for comics

[Darthdiesel]

If he doesn't want to end up borrowing $10K he may want to consider staying out of unnecessary bidding wars when there's still six days left to go before the item closes.

 

Thanks. I'll consider that. But borrow $10k?

 

If I were him I'd even consider a trip to NYC just to make sure this is the genuine article....

 

What's in NYC? seller's in Canada...but if you mean go up to the Marvel Offices and go talk to Sal Brodsky...only through a medium

 

with all the fuss being made by your favorite people (brain dead speculators) God knows how high this book could go....

 

Why would these be MY favorite people?

[Darthdiesel]

Is this 25 cent variant for real or is it a scam?

 

We'll see in 6 days

I think you are lying and you sold it to Glenn Malloy behind the scenes I'm reporting you to the ebay fake auciton police!

[joe_collector]

You gotta admit though Darth, as comic book April Fools jokes go, that one wasn't a bad piece of work.

 

Got lots of replies on how it must have been so cool to talk to Brodsky and get all that inside info about the 25-cent variants.

[Darthdiesel]

BTW, ebay didn't send me that email about auctions I'm bidding on being cancelled or is that only when they administratively cancel an auction?

I loved it!

[supapimp]

i knew that was you hence the post. so what was the highest offer you rec'd from eBayer's wanting you to end the auction early?

[spider9698]

As Wile E Coyote once said: "Sheer unadultered brilliance!"

 

Congrats!

 

[joe_collector]

so what was the highest offer you rec'd from eBayer's wanting you to end the auction early?

 

There was no real money offers, just feelers if I had a price in mind.

[Darthdiesel]

There was no real money offers...

 

Nah, just kidneys, first born children and disposable mother in laws for trade...

Well done.

One of the best April Fool's Day jokes I've ever seen. JC, you put some real work into that one. You should be proud.

 

Perhaps. If memory serves me, the Canadian dollar was actually stronger at the time (I could be wrong) and this reversed by the late 70's.

 

Yep, the CAD dollar was at par or better during that time, so it's not a currency issue. Plus, it says the comic was bought in NY, and I've never seen a book like that before.

If the Buzzy 70 is an April Fool they're not going to like the official complaints to e-bay.
