Be careful when dealing with members that joined the boards in 2013/2014.

 

 

I can vouch for MG and make him an honorary Class of 2012 member ( he only missed it by two weeks )

[HarveySwick]

I only made it by 4 days!

It is against board policy to post personal information.

 

My favorite color is green.

[Holden Caulfield]

comic general, but it will not be pretty. I don't even go there at night or on Fridays.

 

Come out and PLA_AY!!!

Not you just the freshman, not sophomores.

[comicalgems]

I would say put that dude on the Probation List/HOS. We don't need that kind of BS here.

Yeah, the 13/14 guys are nuts...

 

Especially the ones from 2013, so I hear.

Dude!! That's a crazy story. Thanks for PMing about it, you must've been upset. I know I would be. This is one of the reasons I am afraid to "trade" with someone not respected. This is definitely Prob material.

 

Also I just want to point out that I LOVE FRIDAYS!!! and it's only 10:30am etd

 

 

Don't worry about CG James, just stand from afar watch and post minimally.

 

I'll jump in from time to time and now that I have a tiny bit of cred, they don't even reply to my post. Mostly

Paint w/a broad brush, huh.

Lots of trade scams going on now. Oh, how I miss the days of the ol Photoshop-my-name-on-a-piece-of-paper-on-the-slab scams.

[ImageFan-migration]

Oftentimes, if something is too good to be true, it is.

 

This was definitely a deliberate scam, but there is one point that seems to be lacking in clarity. You state that you were offering a highly valued item for trade towards a Walking Dead Issue 1. Your sketched book does not have a market value of $2800. This is an arbitrary number that you assigned to it via an eBay auction, and the lack of a sale indicates that this is not the true market value. Probable market valuation based on similar past sales would be in the $1000 range.

I would agree that imo it not a $2800.00 book but if someone wants to trade for it,it's on them. By the looks of it the scammer thought it was worth it since he had no plans on holding up his side of the deal.

[kav]

Better strategy for something like this instead of dealing outside ebay if someone wants to trade is say ok we'll list both our items BIN for the same price then buy each other's items.

That way you're protected.

Sort of.

[CAHokie]

Kavs back!

[James J]

He is a member here and has not spoken up about his side of the story. Which in the end will hurt him. But time will tell, I know if someone started a thread about me that was not true.....I would be posting to clear the air. Op did you tell him you were posting the scam? Has he contacted you in PM's after you started the thread?

Hokie and I promise to be good.

I doubt he'll show (but wish he would) since his post count is 8, all on the same day, and only to try and grab a copy of WD and insult all CGC boardies in the process. The link to his debut/exit is at the start of this thread, very funny reading.

Thanks for your opinion sir.
