Where have I seen this scan before?

[BestOf7-migration]

I'm not certain, but I think I may have seen the front page scan on ebay before, offered by a different seller...

Anyone seen this scan before? It looks a little suspicious that the front and rear cover were taken using different backdrops, and it sounds like a leap, but his feedback alone would make me think twice about dealing with this seller.

It's Hammer Time?

It's Hammer Time?

 

what do you mean?

It's Hammer Time?

 

Yup...sure looks that way to me also...it's the signature blue backdrop...

Definitely hammer time. FYI hammer on the boards is comic-keys on eBay. That is a signature comic-keys scan with the bright blue background like that.

 

These are the worst kind of scam auctions, when a guy with tons of feedback pulls a fast one. However, he does have 14 negs, even against 400+ positives, that's enough to make you think twice! and three times!!

 

I wonder if he plans on just taking the money and not sending the book, or if he has a lower grade / restored book with which he plans to pull a switcheroo. I guess we'll see when the feedback comes in, if any.

 

Maybe power seller hammer will go postal and report him to eBay - hopefully. GOD, wouldn't be nice?

Thanks for the clarification Bronty. Can someone here let comic-keys know this seller may be pulling a fast one using a scan that belongs to him? I'm not sure how ebay handles situations like this, but if comic-keys contacts ebay, they may shut-down this sellers auction if they know he's stolen the image from another seller/auction.

That's what I meant by "power seller" hammer. Contacting eBay is pretty much useless *unless* you're a power seller (certain $ value of trax. a mth., which criteria hammer meets).

 

He has reported thefts of his scans before, hopefully will do so again.

I will PM him - ps, if you ever want to send a 'private message' to anybody (basically internal email), go to 'my home'.

thanks for the heads-up Bronty

Did you notice his location? Its Seatle again. Great_Comics and I-Netcomics are from there and both of them were using fake scans.

Just got in and read the Board after a lazy day in Heaven (had one heck-of-a-time logging in)! He's OK. As far as I know, he has NOTHING to do with I-Net and his friends. He owns the book, he used the scan (it's a good one and best shows it's attributes), the book is clean as a whistle, and the seller, in my estimation, until someone proves me wrong, is impeccable AND a gentleman! No need for concern here. He's the real McCoy.
