Given the problems with high profile auctions - ask filter - and those that sometimes follow Ian, I'm not sure what happens when some loony ends up bidding a huge figure on this auction. Can you fill in a NPB form when you have nothing to sell?

 

You might want to look at ebay's terms and conditions here Ian.

He can cancel any bids and end the auction right before it closes. He shouldn't be stuck with any fees. However, someone might turn him in, as 'want' auctions aren't allowed on ebay.

Hope this works, IAN, hope this works!

 

Someone else did it only yesterday, and it's not the first time I've seen something similar, so what the hell have I got to lose ???

 

You never know..............

How many copies of the remaining four have you seen for sale, even if they were overpriced or too high of a grade? Any missed opportunities to purchase any of them in the past?

Please don't say that.

Others have done similar things, and it actually gives me a CHANCE of not being ripped off. I can't bring myself to buy that Detective 4 off Comiclink, I just can't.

A couple of each of the Detectives but HORRIBLY overpriced.

Two Detective 3s and two Detective 4s currently.

 

Interestingly also, Metropolis have a coverless Detective 3 but it's brittle and I don't see any point in buying it.

 

Never ever anything for the two New Adventures. The Guide price is low, but copies are just not around.

It is against eBay rules to run a want ad.

But perhaps it will spring a lead before/if eBay cancels the auction.

 

Good luck Ian. I hope you find them soon.

Ebay should NARU people who run these type of "auctions". They do not belong there and are against Ebay policy. Just because others do it does not make it right. Go place an ad in Os or CBG or something.

893applaud-thumb.gif The end never justifies the means thumbsup2.gif Welcome to the ranks of lowlife dickwad sellers, ebay keyword spammers, fraudulent auctions, shilling scumbags and every other violator of eBay policy. Feel free to wallow among the rest of the low-brow weak-minded who feel justified in conducting themselves as they choose to see fit, regardless of how many rules they may be bending or breaking; I always knew it was a only a matter of time, in your case, before joining the dregs of humanity 27_laughing.gif
