This is really starting to annoy me.

I'm sure this issue has been discussed before, but it's really starting to get to me.

 

Action #413 auction

 

This issue of DC Comics "Action Comics with Superman" #413 is in Fine Condition! A very nice glossy cover! This is a 52 page issue! Overstreet Value of $28.00, a low starting bid of $7.99

 

Why not just say "Overstreet Value of $350,000 (last years #1 guide price in NM). I mean......this book isn't a NM copy of #413 or #1......so both prices are just as accurate for this particular book. (yes...I'm exaggerating.....but you get my point).

 

Now.....with someone that didn't know any better....I would overlook it. But this persons "ME" page states:

 

"I have been in the Sport Collectibles business for over 20 years specializing in Vintage Baseball Cards, Silver Age Comic Books, and Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper & other soda collectible bottles."

 

Maybe I'm overreacting.......but this person looked the price up in the guide......they could have just as easily quoted the Fine price ($9) for it.....although then it wouldn't seem like they offered the "low starting bid" like they stated in their auction ($7.99).

 

Am I the only one bothered with this tactic.....especially by people in the industry that know better? At least state the price you give is for a NM copy.......or give the ACTUAL price for the book in the grade that you're offering.

 

Ok.....I'm done venting. Someone let me know if this is a board member and I'll either delete my post or take some of the "frustration" out of it.
