Looks like hijack eBay accounts.

 

1) Different eBay accounts

2) Too low of BIN's.

3) One day auctions.

4) No Reserve

5) And Pre-Approved bidders only (a dead give away).

 

STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!

they never apporve you to buy at low price.

 

after Auction ends they offer it to you at full price but never approve bidders

Is Action 7 really only the second Superman cover?

He was AWOL on 2 - 6?

What were they thinking? 893frustrated.gif

But did it take 6 months (were they monthly issues?) to figure it out? confused.gif

I'm not sure if ebay pulled his auction or if he just got enough emails to try his scam. I must admit before I realized what he was doing I emailed him and asked for a barcode # and now that the auctions are gone he has emailed me and asked me if I am still interested in his item. Needless to say I am not.

No ... probably 3 months before the numbers had trickled in in sufficient quantities to let them know they had a certifiable hit. Then they needed a couple of months to get the cover and the rest of the issue together.

 

Take a look at when the Flash was reintroduced back in 1956. Showcase #4 is cover-dated Sep-Oct 1956, yet #8 (his next appearance) is May-Jun 1957. So despite the character being a hit, the sales results still took a long time to get back to the powers that be.

 

Publishing moves at a glacial pace in comparison to a lot of other industries. Always has, always will.
