Oh, this is going to be good. :popcorn::popcorn:

 

What is that? 1st black costume in the SSM title?

Yes. It's curious how that relevant part was left out of the "auction" description.

 

Or is it an early Black Cat?

Black Cat debuted almost 5 years prior to the release of this issue and appeared in over a dozen issues in between, so "early" would be a bit of a stretch.

 

Obviously not heating up, but I'm sure everyone realizes that since it was a divad post.

 

I'm sure somebody will be along in a moment to take issue with the grading.

 

A 9.4 with those deep spine breaks is a little much, but that's far from the issue here , now that we are deceiving people that this is the first black costume.

 

What I really don't understand is how these are posted after someone hits the BIN's like they are some sort of trophy sales or something and look at it me and what I sold, when in all honesty I personally would be embarrassed to sell that book for anything more than in one of my dollar bins.

 

But back to the real problem, first Black Costume! WTF, preying on people who don't know better is not cool.

I think a lot of his unnoticed over-grading is a clear sign of just how many speculators/newbs are in this industry.

I only came into this thread to find out about where to get cut up cardboard for shipping. :sumo:

 

For the record tho, I'm fairly certain that was not Divad's ebay listing but could be wrong.

 

And did something change in regards to the ASM 252? Is that not the first black cover now? Just checking as I don't want to deceive people at our upcoming comic con when I sell my copies.

Everyone knows it's the 1st black costume in the title - it's on every CGC label. meh

Go back under your bridge troll. lol

That's not what your listing said. You are purposefully deceiving people. I wonder if you've always been this way and I jus never noticed it. I used to think you were a boardie with integrity. Now I don't see any. Purposefully overgrazing and now outright lying.

He did something similar with his Alpha Flight #17 sale. Described it as "First appearance of Big Hero Six" in big bold copy, and then formatted less prominently in the paragraph following it "by their creators," as if the first work by a creative team that's not an actual first appearance is something that collectors care about. Clearly intended to deceive people into thinking that it was the first appearance of Big Hero Six.

So what you are saying is buyer beware, haha?

Most people know what they are buying, you're trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. You can't do anything about who writes what on their auctions, the buyer needs to understand what they are buying. It really has no effect on you on, so why not just worry about yourself? I'm not in Divad's corner since i've had beef with him in the past but people on here are splitting hairs on his product descriptions about what is "exactly correct to a tee" needs to stop, try going outside for a walk, get some exercise since I know most of you people could use it.

Maybe the buyer should be cognizant of what they're buying, but that doesn't absolve his responsibility. How would you feel if a parent or relative of yours got fleeced from a greasy salesman? What he's doing is dishonest, plain and simple.

For future reference, if divad posts a link to an individual eBay listing, there is about a 100% chance that the listing is his. There is also about a 90% chance that the book in the listing is not "heating up" by any reasonable definition.

Again, it doesn't relate to you. eBay does have a return policy and even some sellers don't know everything. I think you guys are just tired of seeing him post his auction results in the thread, well...I'm tired of reading off topic nonsense like this in the thread.

 

Maybe you should call the eBay police and tell them you don't agree with his comic descriptions, besides, most people don't even read them anyway, they just hit the BIN/Bid button. If the buyer buys it and is happy with it, then who is he hurting? You? The collector sitting on his over weight rear end at the comic store playing magic cards with teenagers? The guy down the street?

 

Ever think the buyer knows and actually wants the issue? Maybe he's trying to put an Alpha Flight run together? Maybe he's trying to grab all the Big Hero 6 appearances...You're not the buyer and you're not a mind reader and that goes for anyone complaining about someone's auction trying to sell a book, you don't know the buyer's intent. Plain and simple.

 

And to answer your question about my parents or one of my relatives being taken advantage of "greasy salesman" I'd laugh at them for being so stupid and not doing your research beforehand.
