Craiglist listing, copy of Hulk 181 in random pile 1 1

[bronze_rules]

Spider Sense up? Just happened to browse through local craigslist, and noticed this ad.  Out of a set of 1500 or so, look at some of the neato representatives that happened to be randomly selected for the photos -- all for about 50c each! Aside from the other silver age and various key spider-mans pictured, who knows what other gems are hidden in this 60s - 80s collection? Do we have a central thread for these kinds of posts? I couldn't find one. PS. If it's legit, don't forget my finder's fee!

Also copies of ASM 300 and 361 in the second photo.  If it's legit...yeah, big IF.  Remember what the kids say about things that look to good to be true.

[Artboy99]

It probably is legit.

The first thing people that dont know anything about comics do is take it to comic shop.  Because every non collector thinks comics are VALUABLE.  So I do not think this is legit, just another twist on an old scam.  I'm betting he will insist on a mail transaction.

Messaged seller bc ad stated to send questions. First question was if they had a list or spreadsheet just responded with "no." Asked for close up pics on some books and responded with "I have more than 10 interested and I'm not doing anymore work to sell these!" ?

Lovely - gotta love CL... shady AF. 

 

Anyways, my first post but have scanned and read threads on here a while!

That Hulk 181 could be the ToyBiz reprint, it looks strategically covered.

My thoughts exactly.

[badback83]

Is there anyone on the boards that has messaged the "seller" and asked if they can come over and check the books out?  I'd be curious to see what they say.

Yeah, the Hasbro version has a little "not for sale" line in the lower right corner that's coincidentally perfectly obscured in that photo.

I get that, but no there was no follow up to that regarding looking at them in person. Oh, forgot also they said "bye" right at the end of the message. Touching. It just was a weird off putting communication. Oh well. Good luck to whoever buys it and hope it's legit.

Exactly that book if real would be proudly up front in the picture. I sense shenanigans.

[GoldCap]

I think it's real!

That Craigslist listing stinks on ice..............

No reply to my message.  You would think if it was fake he'd wants as many vics as possible.

[Philflound]

At 50 cents per book, you can probably still make money, though not as much.

I recently bought a collection that had all these and more.  On some of the keys, multiple copies.  It happens on occasion.  But not very often.
