Popular Post Beige Posted October 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2018 Following Architects advice... I recieved an unsolicited PM from a new board member with zero posts and no profile offering some very nice books for sale. There were pics of the books in mylar, and they looked very high grade (9.0+) minimum. The tone of the PM was a little 'odd' however, and having no references or profile for this person, I declined to do business, deleted the PM, and blocked the member. I then passed the info to Arch. The person may have been genuine, maybe not, but just a heads up that this is happening. I won't name him in case he isn't attempting a scam, and was just unaware of the way things are done on here, or had English as a second language. Someone may make out like a bandit, but the tone of the post was a little aggressive "rip-off dealers" , "I was left these as a kid but my kid brother got the best" etc etc and raised quite a few red flags. If this person is genuine, I apologise, but it was probably easier to start a thread than send unsolicited PM's. Arch suggested I start a thread - so here it is. Anyone else been contacted?

ADAMANTIUM Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Not recently but in the past I have been...for solicitations By boardies that had a few posts, but they were all in all reasonable but I declined. I don't think any of them stuck around, so now that you mention it, it does sound fishy. One guy had an ASM 667? I think that another board who was knowledagabe Pointed out that it was a facsimile reprint.... so when threads get started about, do post count numbers count? This is an issue to keep in mind Edited October 26, 2018 by ADAMANTIUM KobaltDog, Beige, 1950's war comics and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bite I think in my case, as some newcomers are met with a bit of unreasonableness They feel some who are more reasonable as ..... insert appropriate word idk prey? That sounds harsh cause these chaps weren't aggressive, but you have to remember I was still quite new and still am... But that's a good question The world may never know...

Popular Post comicdonna Posted October 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2018 About a decade ago, someone with zero posts, and from Canada offered me 4 Hi-Yo Silver CGC 9.4's for $200 shipped. I said sure. You send me the books, and I will pay you. He did. They were real nice. Then, I sent him the money via paypal.

I had a wanted ad for a particular book. He claimed to have one - and many,many more. That's probably why. Let me be clear - I only started this thread because Arch asked me to. And as you can see above - others have had the same experience, but with a happy ending. I was asked to put this out here, so I have. kav, KobaltDog, thehumantorch and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
