songsaboutclouds Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The thought BUBBLE has burst or maybe people are actually staying away from speculating sellers? This guy buys & sells on the same ID on multiple sites. He bought that copy from me for £25 B.I.N 10 days ago on ebid (mentioned the same minor damage to the bottom corner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatMarvelV1 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 That damage definitely stopped me from bidding on it, I was mulling it over all week. Also the fact that he took 16 days to send me a book from Derby to North Wales the week before didn't help, I think he mailed it on a bakewell tart and all the posties were stopping to sample it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreezy Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 No one really needs to order 20....bit excessive The two at 20 copies and I think one just wanted to help reach 20 books so he kept upping his quant Again thanks to everyone for taking part. I am glad I can help out. Wow. 20 copies? And all I wanted was 1 copy for my collection and I sent a PM about a possible SS. Looks like I was too late to the party though. THanks for doing the service though Menace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreezy Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Once again MetalPanda, your tone is exquisite. Classy. Charming even. Is there a way to block a certain users posts so at least I don't have to read them on my screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExcludedTim Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 It works somewhat well. Though when people quote them its completely useless. You're still seeing their annoying drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jreezy Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) yup, click on his profile and choose ignore this user. Did not know this! Thanks! Anyway, finally got these in from the UK. Took more than a month to get to me but they are in great condition. I'm thinking these should at the very least be 9.6 with a very good chance at 9.8s.

Wushugushu Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Very nice Jreezy! For some reason I just cant get myself to purchase items from the UK. Ive been wanting a TB so bad but most of the ebay listings are international so ive skipped out Guess ill probably just end up waiting to see what happens with TB after CBLDF gets released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pike's Comics Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Anyone want to take bets on how many Menace actually ends up being allowed to presell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschmidt Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'll play - I think they'll cap it at less than 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ningabe Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I thought he had already had permission for 200 and is waiting to hear anything above that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wushugushu Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 He sounded pretty certain when mentioning 200 so ill say no more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fast tracking these this week, so keeping my fingers crossed they both come in at 9.8. I'm also curious to see how the TB prices react once the CBLDF is released.

CBT Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I'll play - I think they'll cap it at less than 100. i think he had the 200 before he actually managed to resell them. There is a big backlash playing out behind the scenes to all this. If he gets capped at 100, it will be in response to pressure from others.

Taco Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 He should have only allowed 1 copy per person. I was looking through the pages and some people were just taking advantage to resell definitely. You don't need that many copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wushugushu Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 You got a beautiful copy as far as I can tell. I hope you get dat 9.8 There were a couple copies I almost got on ebay but when I asked both users for a shot of the back cover, I was given some lame excuses.. Buying from the UK just seems like a hassle to me anyway but Ive very little experience in those dealings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wushugushu Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Is there even a limit on what you can get if you were to attend the con? No limitations posted on CBLDF/ECCC sites. I had no trouble getting multiples of exclusives at the few times Ive been to a major con and Ive seen people buy large stacks as well. Theres also the fact that we are paying more than the original price Edited February 18, 2013 by wushugushu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres also the fact that we are paying more than the original price i dont think its the per person amount that is the issue. A convention exclusive being pre-sold outside the convention, is more of where the back lash is coming from. Obviously all 500 wont be sold, but if it was, could you even call that a convention exclusive any more? Turning it into a direct market book, via the boards, that's the quandary.
