Here's an Odd listing

Lotta great books here covered and coverless.

 

But with that feedback /shudder

Regardless a bizarre listing.

I just mentioned this ridiculous listing in my ongoing thread. Unbelievable. If it's for real, this is surely not a very good way to list these books. He's gonna end up losing a lot of money. Then again, the guy probably pulled that 'Tec #29 from a dealer box 30 years ago for 10 bucks.

[Johnny545]

The bid doubled since your post.

[tabcom]

I saw the listing this morning when it was at $2.50

 

Contacted seller. Claims he can not call me about the collection because his land mind (sp) is disconnected and he needs to take a bus to the library to borrow a cell phone. Since he was replying to my email, one would assume he has access to a phone.

 

Feedback score is MAJOR red flag

 

 

[Griff]

great googly moogly the bids up to 1,525.00

[Sqeggs]

So, the seller with fb of 2 says:

 

IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST BEFORE BIDDING

 

I don't know, though. Seems just weird enough to be legit.

[pmpknface]

Up to $2,125!

 

I dunno tho. Doesn't sound like a safe thing to bid on.

[gino2paulus2]

extremely weird listing!!!!!! NOPE...NO MORE PHOTOS says the man I DONT have a working camera or a phone....I am Not even really sure how this coverless TEC photo appeared on my listing in the first place Chalk it up to MAGIC I suppose

[Tsp99]

It's a crock. Just look at the two other books he's selling. Definitely makes you wonder.......

[comicjack]

Smells and looks like fish(ing)

[Kindle-migration]

 

 

I would only buy these if pick up was an option.

[Comicopolis]

Very weird.

[Kindle-migration]

 

 

I thought that ebay id rang a bell. A few weeks ago they had some weird

type of auction along the same lines saying they could only accept

personal paypal because of a hold on the account. Pretty sure the

seller is a female and this is definitely a scam.

Here's my favorite blip from the Q&A:

 

Q: they dont have prices for coverless its honestly just what someone is willing to pay. id say detective comics 29 is still worth a couple hundred at least though. more if you find the right buyer. the later issues usually sell for like 50 bucks coverless. Jan-06-14

A: Thank you again and check your messages.

 

What kind of question is that? And how out of touch with the market do you have to be to think even a coverless 'Tec #29 is only worth a couple hundred bucks? I'll snap those up all day and all night. Heck I'll take incomplete coverless for that price.

[Jaydogrules]

bid on this if you have several thousand dollars lying around that you feel like you can afford to loan to PayPal for a few weeks.

As long as pickup is in a bright public place with a lot of foot traffic.
