Any conventions coming up that they will be attending around the release date?

 

Ill have to ask them, Gonna be in dirty joisy for the superbowl

 

EDIT - duh, the book comes out on feb 25 I forgot.. Just spoke to the store and they said that they are trying to get Hughes for the signing on the release date.. Keep you updated

 

I'm just asking because of their last exclusive, ASM 4, and the SDCC debacle.

Read carefully - NON error copy.. Not in hand.. looks like 6 buyers fell for it already

13 have fallen for it. It's a trap listing.

"THIS IS THE NON ERROR VARIANT THIS IS A CORRECT PRINTING THAT WILL SHIP AS SOON AS THE ITEM IS RELEASED ANY DAY NOW "

 

Scam to trap quick readers.

 

Am marketing strategy meant to capitalize on a trend is not the same as scamming. I think he's been pretty clear in what he's providing, other than the odd use of the word 'convention'. If buyers don't read it carefully, that's on them.

Someone needs to put up a pic of Admiral Ackbar.

You can call him smart for capitalizing and hoping people either don't notice in the frenzy or don't care…

 

I call it a risky move that will likely result in surplus negative feedback and possibly more. He's protecting himself with that "non recalled" line and they'll be released "any day now", but is it even known if there will FOR SURE be a reprinting yet??

I'm surprised there is a debate on this. As a buyer, I have a choice. I can choose to buy the book from seller A or seller B. By leaving the neg, you post a notice to the next buyer that they may want to buy from another seller. I want to know that the seller I choose will honor the deal or I will choose another seller.

 

What happens next time a hot books comes out and a buyer chooses to buy form this guy and he does the same thing. Perhaps that buyer could have chosen another seller that would have actually shipped the book if you had posted the neg. However, because they were not warned, they bought from this guy and by the time they find out the other seller is also sold out?

 

Staying quiet enables bad behavior. :preach:

 

I agree with every word EXCEPT for the part highlighted. I can give you a list of comic dealers on ebay that do that on a regular basis. Do they stop doing it because of negative fb? no. Will buyers keep buying from them? of course.

If youre a power seller/top rated seller on ebay, and you move more than 300 transactions a month, youre practically immune to negative fbs. So whats actually happening here is this;

a big comic book dealer that gets the same treatment as the little guy will end up STAYING in business and do the same"bad practices" the little guy did, and the buyer (us) will end up staying with less shopping choices. Sounds like democracy isnt practiced here after all. Not because of how it should be practiced, but mainly because - the system in which these rules are set is defunct

I agree, it won't dissuade all buyers, nor stop the behavior. But it doesn't cost anything and maybe it will help someone else form falling into the same hole (shrug)
