Sellers who use "CGC it" in their ebay listings: please stop. Please.

[eastriver]

 

Please. Thank you.

[kav]

Also 'lot' for single books. Please. I am begging you.

[Meeklo]

Is it a matter of not being able to see slabs in a pool of raws?

 

Because you can always search for CGC slabs by putting in keyword/phrases like:

 

-"CGC it"

 

-"CGC ready"

 

Just those two alone should remove most of the raws.

[BlowUpTheMoon]

Simply put -"CGC it" in your search and no titles that have "CGC it" will be returned in your search results.

Cool. Thanks.

What bugs me is when they put "Wow". Do they think that if they post Wow then I'll think it's a real treasure to check out?

RARE

 

And there's 50+ listings for the same book....

You might not…but some unsuspecting newbie in the comic collecting hobby may see that and think it is a good deal.

 

Kinda like a check my girlfriend got in the mail today. It was a real check for $1300 but it was one of those "loan checks" that has a 60+% APR. Those companies mail them out hoping to catch someone not realizing what it is or someone desperate enough for money to cash it.

Well that's certainly something I hadn't thought of. Now I'm just that much more irritated by it.

This

 

An auction "lot" can refer to one item or more within the listing. It is how the terminology is used.

 

This "lot" is for one single copy of Action Comics 687.

 

Especially if used to distinguish between the same seller offering multiple listings of a similar item in another lot.

 

This "lot" is for three copies of Action Comics 688.

 

I do not use it myself but I see it frequently and it is within the boundaries of perfectly acceptable.

 

 

[miraclemet]

or "not CGC"

or CGC?

or CGC worthy

 

and the list goes on...

They are hoping to snag people looking for world of warcraft

Image shi**y title #1 - CGC it now - movie soon!

[romanheart]

I am more offended when they claim their book(s) are 9.8. Really... everything you own is 9.8 and of course priced like a 9.8 that has already been slabbed. This is not just eBay. A dealer at Ottawa Pop Expo was doing this.

[Darkowl]

"I am not a professional grader, but the book looks like a 9.7 to me".

 

At least try to get the grade system right.

[Mijael.Levy]

If you are a good grader you can sell raw 9.8 's .

50 copies is pretty rare for a comic.

50 copies is pretty rare for a comic.

 

He meant 50 listings on eBay for the same "RARE" comic, not 50 copies produced.
