Too good to be true..and yet

Found this on Ebay, the comics look to be in 4-5.0 condition I think, still an Amazing fantasy 15 in that grade is a nice find.

Then the seller has zero feedback, yet he will let the winner pick the books up in person and pay with cash.

Makes you wonder if it is indeed legit.

Zero feedback? What're you talkin' about? The guy's sold other comics of a similar vintage...for a grand total of $10

 

Given that the auction also includes Hulk # 2 and JIM 83, the seller is either ignorant or a total scammer. I'm leaning toward scam. Then again, anyone from Nekoosa, WI, can't be all bad - unless they made up the name of the town too?

If I thought there was a chance in hell that the auction were legitimate, I'd bid and fly out there to pick up the books in person if I won. After emailing with the guy and reading his BS excuses for why the books aren't CGC graded, I wouldn't risk a nickel on them. Maybe I'm wrong, but there are some big red flags here.

I asked him why he didn't get the book CGC graded. He said he didn't have the time to do it. I flat out told him that if he got the AF 15 graded by CGC, he could sell it for $15K within a few days of listing on ComicLink. I also told him that if he sold the book to a large dealer, he could make at least $10K if they could inspect the book. His response? "Oh well, I'll still make more than ten times what I paid for the books this way." (The bidding was currently at under $800 when he said it.)

 

He also gave me the "My wife is ill and I need to buy a wheelchair and hospital bed for the house and also care for our 14 month old daughter."

 

HELLO??? Like an extra $20K+ from the sale of those books in CGC blue slabs wouldn't come in AWFULLY HANDY?

I haven't seen this posted yet, but I'm guessing this is EXACTLY what he is wanting potential bidders to think. It's most likely just a smoke screen. The guy lives in Wisconsin, but ships worldwide. The odds that the winner will be close enough to drive to see the book, or want to spend the cash for a plane trip, are probably pretty slim. And if the winner does want to see it in person, all he has to do is ignore them, eat the negative on his low feedback account, and try again later.
