Craziest Bronze BIN I've ever seen

He won't sell it, but it's a perfect marketing ploy as Rob_React points out. Think about it, how many people are going to look at it, send it to a friend, and eventually click on his other auctions and/or ebay store to see what else he has?

 

Smart bidness.....

OR, how many people are going to look at it, send it to a bunch friends, & post it on the CGC Forums for a good laugh? They'll remember the seller's name & if they ever click on his other auctions and/or ebay store, they will quickly dismiss his listings & hit the "back" button. foreheadslap.gif

 

Some will definitely dismiss it, no question, but if it gets any potential customers to click through and maybe bid on any "legitimate" books, then it's done its job. Will it appeal to seasoned collectors like yourself? Clearly it's not, but I bet it gets a lot of attention from the uninitiated.

You got a point. Maybe I should list my CGC 10.0 Strawberry Shortcake 1 at 5K. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif
