How Do I Find Out If I Bought A Stolen Book?

[incoflip]

I'm on a work computer so not sure i can post a pic but its a cgc 3.5 ASM1

cert # 0700707001. It was posted on a selling site but nothing like CL or anything like that.

 

The site sent an invoice and the description says 21 day money back guarantee.

 

Just a little nervous because iif it sounds too good to be true most of the time it is

CGC should offer a data base of reported stolen cgc numbers to its members

I'm almost hesitant to ask this here because the book is not "in my hands" and I may be the target of a scam that I read about frequently here.

 

I JUST purchased a Silver Age KEY on a non-comic site. It had been up only a few hours...paid thru paypal with a 21 days return policy stated on the post. I bought it for nearly nothing and now I'm scared the book may be stolen. Is there somewhere I can go on the registry to see if someone is looking for a stolen book?

 

So basically ... the deal was too good to be true?

 

Well, you know what they say about that.

cant help without any evidence. was it an AF 15 ebay scam?

 

since he said non-comic, Im assuming its not craigslist or ebay...

 

maybe... OP providing some details (since s/he is looking for answers) would be nice

 

 

 

Perhaps then it was Overstock.com?

 

OP..details, disclose please!

CGC cencus

 

To bad no system in this to reporting it stolen if it was.

ETSY? You mean eBay right? You might be the proud owner of a one of a kind crocheted comic book.

Yeah that would be a scam....thats a $2000 - $4000 book.

[incoflip]

Thanks James J.....I checked that before I sent the payment. But there was a decent pic on the etsy post

[oakman29]

Probably just a stolen pic.I wouldn't go through with the sale.Do you really think 475.00

is gonna get you a 3.5 ASM #1,do ya?

[incoflip]

No ETSY.....It's a site that Atrist and crafters sell there wares...I was looking for some type of art to include in my comic book room and searched "comic book" this ad popped up.

[James J]

Any emails from the guy or link for the sale?

[oakman29]

What the hell is etsy?

I'm aware of what ETSY offers. Now I'm amazed to find so many comics for sale there.

 

Can you share the sellers ID on etsy?

[incoflip]

IDK I'm fairly gullible I guess....But its an established site with a return policy. It's not like he sent me his email and I went to paypal and sent the $$... They sent an invoice. So I figured I would take the chance.

I'd call paypal and see if you can back out of it
