Are we all under the assumption that these are bids designed to ruin the auction?  These are assumed non paying bidders? 

I would think so. Ebay doesn’t do jack squat about not paying for auctions. Bidders could continue to do this as long as sellers don’t block them. Ebay likely won’t do anything about it.

Young lawyer here (7 years of practice). I kept trying to tell people above that there is no definite way to say here that Black Flag is in the clear for copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and probably breach of contract under the license agreement. I kept saying above that, at first glance, it sure looks a whole hell of a lot of one, two, or all three of those things. 
 

Then the deluge of unqualified certainties and overconfident absolutes drowned me out dozens of pages ago. 
 

 

It wasn't drowned out, it was one of the better posts that kept me reading this 88 page thread!  :cloud9:

There's a strong possibility that Marvel will say that a retailer is free to do as they please with their store exclusive after they have completed the deal with Marvel. Once a retailer pays for the 3,000+ copies of a store variant, those copies become theirs to do as they please. They can sell them, hold them back and sell at a later time, raise or lower the price as they see fit, etc. 

Just don't be shocked if Marvel says what was done is totally up to the retailer since the books are their property after the contract is signed and the books are paid for.

Having been entangled in IP issues before, regardless of what marvel chooses to do,  they have every right to come at  black flag for violating IP of their book if there was not an agreement in place that gave all rights and IP of marvel material to said seller. 

They can sue if they believe the material has compromised their brand or has been used for  profit outside of any license agreement.

Should Marvel state that they have no (back :wink:) issue with Black Flag's newly manufactured exclusive, that would just leave CGC to speak to the incredible good fortune of outcomes with respect to the grades of said books!  Since their grading criteria is a black box, owned by Black Rock, it'll be on to the next scandal!  (:
