N e r V Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) I’m guessing the logic of it (I use that term loosely here) is that he is signed up to send in books vs somebody who doesn’t already have a membership to do the same? Given some of the eBay sales on things already I can’t knock his business model if he gets any takers. It’s not really dishonest if you make a unreasonable offer with all the details to someone and they still accept.

This however requires a giant leap of faith from the buyer of this "service". You'd of course have to assume they're not going to just keep whatever is sent to them. How exactly would they bill you for the CGC grading fee & return shipping since I'd assume that's separate from the 100 dollars? Who's dumb enough to send this guy billing information + books to be graded??? Assuming everything's honest you'd be paying 100 dollars not to join CGC (which is just 25 dollars a year minimum) & not to fill out / print the online form. Plus you'd be waiting much longer to get your books back since you're shipping to Hawaii. What's the shipping + insurance cost for shipping to Hawaii? Not even sure USPS flat rate covers Hawaii? There are tons of buffoons out there but Jeez... really?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avi Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 They seem to have come to their senses and adjusted the price to a silly (but still ridiculous) amount. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Get-your-comics-cgc-graded-Message-me-for-detail/332774158227?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3De18ead41c3f941b3a40b1c0e72fbf0a8%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D332774158227%26itm%3D332774158227&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A2da07dac-a596-11e8-a18c-74dbd1807c88|parentrq%3A5eb8fcc41650ab6b4ad07bc9ffffc7a8|iid%3A1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01TheDude Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 the only thing I can think is that they do offer free local pickup-- so maybe if you live in Hawaii and can save that portion of the cost it might make some sense. I did note that they did not go with the OFFER so this is costing them 37 cents - they are in it for the long con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
