I do it when there's a book that's selling at a nice price that either can't or don't want to buy.

 

and I do too... but when I see a book get a "nice price!" comment (and it doesnt set off the sarcasm radar) and then I look at GPA and see the price is 20% over GPA history then I get confused...and suspicious...

[Broke as a Joke]

Should mystery box sales threads be placed in the Mixed Age Thread and Miscellaneous section?? Seems there are books involved that overlap both the silver-bronze and copper-modern standards.

 

Just curious to what people think.

Understandable, Met, but again I do not follow each and every book and there are some books which are trending upwards in quite an incredible way. Not that they are not bound to stop and/or fall, but that’s it…

I think it depends on the contents of the box.

 

If I'm just selling a New 52 Mystery box and that's it, then probably copper modern is ok.

I've always posted mine in copper/modern because the majority of the items are copper/modern.

The over/under on what can be defined as "nearly flawless" is 18 flaws.

[chromium]

so when you see someone pipe up in a sales thread saying a book is "a great price" or something... when it isnt... do you assume the poster is a)ignorant or b)a friend who's pseudo-shilling the book for his buddy trying to help convince someone that it really is a great deal...

 

 

Or they are selling a similar book or are about to put one up or sale.

I think symbi is a schmo for his past dealings, but the piling on and threadcrapping in his first thread was out of control. I suggested he start a new thread. As always, buyers are responsible for doing due diligence when looking at from whom they're buying. Caveat emptor, right? But yeah, the threadcrapping, I don't like it even in those cases.

Duly noted.

[miraclemet]

technically speaking his old thread (with the HFH at the lower price) is still open, someone could go buy it from that thread....

is it his account? It seems odd that he would shill under the other ones but this one is high volume and books that I've never seen him try to sell.

 

I think there maybe more to this story

[HarveySwick]

Ohhhh.

 

I don't think it was listed in the eBay list - just astridonna. I'll have to add it!

[HarveySwick]

This sales thread is a disaster

 

Pretty sure he either lives in NY or Atlanta. Not anywhere close to Vegas...

 

The plot thickens...

 

Yes it is! I bailed on the deal once I got more intel on the OP!
