Avengers #4 CGC 9.4 on ebay

[Dark Knight]

Sales seem fishy to me... I doubt all the books sold were legit.

[Transplant]

Looks like someone has hi-jacked the account, or the seller has turned to the darkside.

 

The WD #1 CGC 9.9 he just "sold" is the same scan of the copy that sold for $10,100 in November.

 

I haven't checked the other books but presume the scans have also been lifted.

 

If it looks too good to be true..........

Not to mention, just look at his feedback. It's all sales of flea medicine and books <$50, except for 1 sale of a WD run in August '12.

I was going to mention this, but the phone rang.

 

Looks like 8+ months of regular $40 sales, a $1000 "test the waters" sale in August where they found ebay still had a 30 day hold, then a blitzkrieg in January once they determined the 30 day hold was lifted.

 

Or else just a collector who ran into money troubles....

It "sold" for $7,300. No fb yet either way on any of the big ticket items.

 

It sold for "Best Offer," so it went for even less than the $7500 it was listed at.

If the sale is legit, it was a bargain.

I recognize that Avengers #4. I believe I saw it last year and it is a legit CGC 9.4 but I am quite sure that book sold in the $15-20K range recently.

 

Hard to believe this is a legit seller.

[Bills Comics]

I checked all the past sales from the last 15 days . There have been some higher dollar sales. But none of the buyers have left any feedback. They ended end of January beginning of Feb. That feedback, if it was for legit sales should be showing up with in the next few days .

It looks like one of Filter's old Avengers #4?

[Gotham Kid]

Yup

Yes it is, same cert number - so what is the consensus then?

[DiceX]

I don't know what it is, but it smells like tuna.

Well Filter sold it on 11/25 for $14,700 to an entirely different ebay handle.

 

The identical scan was used in the listing which was started on 2/5 and ended with best offer of $7300 being accepted on 2/6. That is a pretty big haircut.

 

Almost all of the high $ listings by the seller, use different photo backgrounds, scanners, combinations of the two, etc. The Hulk 181 scan doesn't even appear to be from a legal scanner.

 

Most likely the scans are all lifted.

 

[Shaven Kev-migration]

Money laundering?

[InvstmntComcSuply]

Even if many of the scans are lifted, some buyers would do this because they don't have a scanner. It is just another red flag.

Tastes like frog.

That's who I thought owned it but wasn't sure.

 

 

[FullOnHorror]

There's a negative now.

[Bills Comics]

He was a good seller one day. Then the next couple he started ripping people off . I invited the person who left the negative to join us .

[DiceX]

And so it begins.

I suppose it was a hijacked account.

I hope they used Paypal.

 

 

[The Madness]

Now things make sense. Just remember, if it's too good to be true then it is....

[gpanalysis]

Ok, looks like we'll be noting that it's as a fake auction. Cheers
