Bat-Man Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Anyone know the deal on the Tec 35 that got pulled on ebay? Scam? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160408598921&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I am so annoyed at this. I tried contacting the seller and asked why it was pulled but got no response. Got an offer he couldn't refuse? If you could work out a deal and avoid as many fees as possible, why not? ebay rules be damned. Probably true. I hate that. Looking through the seller's other items for sale it would seem they are an antique seller. Maybe they just stumbled upon this book somewhere (luckiest find ever) and do not know comics. If they did sell it under the table the buyer may have gotten a real steal on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the seller was bombarded with so many inquires and I won't be surprise it will end up be a in CGC holder and up for auction in the future.

That the seller might not have known what they had and when they saw the interest perhaps they realized that it is a valuable book. I would not be surprised either. And by then it will command a "ton" of $$$ to obtain most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's a big $$$$ money book. That 6.5 on CL sold for a bundle last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And is firmly my 2nd fav book of the Pre-Robins. Going to be a trouble finding one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally got a response from the seller: "Thank you very much for your interest in my Detective Comics, number 35, Batman issue. I was so inundated with so many questions concerning so many aspects of the condition of this comic which I just could not answer. One Ebayer was kind enough to advise me that I would be better of, since I know nothing about comics, to send it to CGC for appropriate grading instead od providing Ebayers with my own, perhaps incorrect, grading of this comic. Please contact me in a few days and I will let you know what the grading is and what I plan to do with this comic book. Thank you again."
