Same seller. Either he's got a warehouse full of 'em 893whatthe.gif or he messed up and listed the same lot he already sold to Shield. insane.gif

 

the lot is different, the photo is different, the description is different. The seller has another Buzzy 70 for auction. Despite the popular consesus, and Ian's own ego, there are many people out there who know nothing of Ian's quest. The last few books he owns are probably owned by these people, and they probably know nothing of comic collecting or value of such books.

 

I believe the rest of the books on his list are all 1930s books, so there are no silly books left.

 

all the more reason they are probably sitting in someone's garage or attic. Of course those same people may just opt to throw out any comics they might have thinking they have no value in lower condition.

 

NEW ADVENTURE COMICS - 22, 26, 27

 

THE BIG BOOK OF FUN COMICS - 1

 

DETECTIVE COMICS - 3, 4

 

No amount of arguing or hating Ian on your part will convince me that those aren't rare books. Not rare because no one wants them, but simply tough as nails to find. Hate Ian all you want, I'm not stopping you, but those books are truly tough.

wow, feel Rob's anger.

 

I don't hate Ian, never had. I don't know him well enough to hate. He incessant postings annoy me, that's all. I don't deny that these books are rare and almost impossible to find. I just think the place where they will be found is from someone who doesn't realize what they have. Those people who do realize what they have, and have not come forward to offer to Ian, have no plans to either it seems.

I may go for it (providing no other Forumite has the same idea) simply as a memento of the brief period when this books' star shone.

 

I am going to bid too, but don't let that stop you. confused-smiley-013.gif

here you can have your own Buzzy 70 also.

 

How, pray tell, did you find this within 20 minutes of the auction listing? Auction started at 5:56 P.M. EST, and you found the listing and posted it here by 6:09 P.M.?

I can't believe that Ian doesn't search Ebay auction titles and descriptions for the last few books he needs.

 

Ian does daily.

 

This came up and Scott caught it within one hour of it being put up on e-bay. I would have caught it in my search otherwise, but they found it first. I only check once a day.

No anger here, what do I have to be angry about? Nothing.

 

I was just getting straight to the point and trying to get past any editorial commentary on "Ian's ego" and "incessant posting." It would be a miracle if those books were sitting in someone basement or attic. Even more than it would be a miracle if a Detective #27 or Action #1 were sitting right beside them. I just wanted to comment on the books without Ian's personality being brought along for the ride, which is what it seemed like you were doing.

As romantic a notion as this sounds, I don't think anyone out there could be ignorant to the value of a Detective 3 or 4. Or even more so, a Big Book Of Fun Comics.

First one's free. Let the punishment bidding commence.....

 

Yes won't it be funny when someone bids a thousand dollars for it and then I don't bid against them ...................

 

I'd like to see anyone else buy it off them then.............

 

(A bit like my two copies of Scribbly 6)
