Good Deal on ASM#1 on the BAY

[Vision75]

Hi Silver Age aficionados,

 

I was wondering if this EBay offering was a good deal?

You really should read it. It almost made me spit out my drink.

That seller is known around here for his outrageous prices. The consensus is that such a ruse creates interest and traffic. Can't see it myself, as the prices are absurd.

I actually agree with the seller that it looks undergraded. (Slightly)

 

But my God!!!... he thinks it should be an 8.0 HAHAHAHA

 

Such an absurd listing. I wonder if this absurd strategy actually works?

Hi gadzukes and Golddust,

 

Regarding the absurd strategy, perhaps you're onto something. The seller can give someone a 95% discount and still come out ahead.

 

The illusion of a good deal is sometimes more effective than an actual good deal (thumbs u

If not for the defects, it would be a Mint book.

 

I'm going to sell my collection at some point. I think I should price them all at about 250% of the guide, will that work?

I offered him $50 and then $52 after.. Got rejected both times

Gadzukes, really? Looked like a 2.5 to me Guess I am off.

[Jordysnordy]

comical, laughable, idiotic all rolled into one stupid listing

[pemart1966]

Seller also says "I have original Art from this book if interested please inquire."

 

 

Wonder what he means by "original art"???

[SkyJuice]

The currency is in rupiah?

[southerncross]

what a drunk listing

[Chicago Boy]

the number of people viewing per hour is for entertainment purposes only I did get a laugh out of it (ps Rusty Staples was my old DJ name)

[ChasingKingKirby]

That's just plain stupid...

Good ol' Theo Holstein.

This is Theo Holstein, correct? An earlier thread and of course the old ad and pic.

Cool. Thanks Telerites for the history info. Even though I don't agree with Theo's sales strategy, I can't deny that he's a heck of a character. Probably fun to hang out with

[Vision75]

As long as he puts some clothes on
