Wouldn't touch it. They probably want cash and CL usually is sketchy.

The poster hit all the right points to make it sound legit though. Accurately-claimed grade, needs cash, Ebay's hold funds issue.

 

Yikes.

They hit all the right points, for people to avoid that listing.

Well, the number comes up as being from LaGrange Park, which is a fairly nice SW burb of Chicago. I could always see if he could get a scan up if anyone is serious.

I dont think its legit but never know with these deals. I have met several times at walmart parking lot and dealt with some yeah right type of people. but every deal has paned out so far. Goodluck and dont get eaten or chopped up.

If he's amenable to meeting in person, the posting seems believable enough to warrant a call.

Id do that at the very least give the guy a call

[Diamonddave]

Returner, please ask about the scan or even a pic from an I-phone or something. Might lend a little credence to the ad. I'm not too far away from LaGrange and I've nothing to do this weekend.

[Calidream'n]

Sure, I can do that. I sure wish I had 2K lying around.

I'm sure he's already had a ton of calls since the posting here.

I left a message at 9:53 this morning. I'm guessing his inbox will be full soon.

well, you are before me...if you get it, I want it

There is a group of *bent forks* calling themselves comic wholesalers on Kijiji. They conveniently never respond to messages and seem to always find excuses when you ask for scans or photos. My hunch is they are marketing list scavengers.

 

My suggestion to guys that leave their info freely with sellers to have a secondary address to filter out the harvesters. Comic books are big business, at least that's what all the newspapers are saying after the million dollar sales. Might be wise to use an email that can afford to get pelted with spam.

 

Sounds like a first world problem, but I've had to be really guarded over the years with email addys and contact info exactly because I'd gotten to the point where harvesters were selling my email and phone numbers to anyone who would pay and I'd spend hours a week filtering spam and answering solicitation calls with "not interested - take me off your list."

[Diamonddave]

Just out of curiosity, how often do these Craigslist ads actually work out? Meaning that the seller is legit and the book is accurately graded.

[Calidream'n]

Just got a hold of him....he told me he sold it today. Anyone on here buy it?

[Dark Knight]

Anyone has a pic of the book?

[VintageComics]

He's posted pics and the book is looking to be at least moderately restored.
