Anyone know who zaq12 is on E-bay?

For Metro I would definitely charge my full fee to help them out!!

 

Although I would accept payment in comics.

 

 

Not me. If I were representing them, the fee's would be mile-high.

 

But then Chuck might sue for copyright infringment.

I won one of those lots today. I was a slightly concerned, then, when I saw who was bidding, I got a little more comfortable.

 

Should I be nervous?

 

Ask the seller for the name and contact info of the "lawyer". Also inquire, since the seller claims the books are unrestored, whether he will refund the money if the book is determined to be restored or trimmed.

 

Are you geographically able to pick the book up in person?

 

Keep me posted as to his responses. Perhaps he is legit. I am not saying he is not. What I am saying is that red flags are up and caution is advised.

I already asked for the "lawyer" info earlier today. I'll post the other questions as well and update here on my progress.

Well, the FF 2 "9.2" had a pretty noticeable back cover stain so I would say at the very least the grades aren't accurate.

This helps explains Metro's pricing model. Metro's buyers are absorbing the losses of the raw overgraded duds SF is buying on ebay.

UPDATE

 

I sent an email yesterday to the seller and a request for total today (both messages asking for the full contact info for the lawyer). I have not received a response yet.

 

I also googled grubdn, not a lot of results. But, all do appear to point to a college student at Farmington on Long Island, NY. Also found his MySpace page, if the seller is the same person.

UPDATE

 

I exchanged messages via ebay. He will be sending me the books tomorrow, USPS insured with tracking. I'll inspect then send payment or return the books. So, by Monday I should have them. (I have them shipped to my office, so I won't be around on Saturday.)

No such place or school as Farmington on Long Island.

[mrwoogieman]

Try Farmingdale.

[Aman619]

gnyahhhhh! youre right!

[innocuous]

I sent an email to the seller asking for the tracking code. He said he was busy this weekend and wasn't able to ship the books as promised. But, he will try to ship them today. We'll see.

I'll be on Long Island most of the next two weeks,if you need someone to puck the books up for you.

Just what I was thinking. The good news is that he didn't send him any money yet.

What kind of seller sends books to a buyer he's unfamiliar with prior to getting paid?

Guess.

Well, just track the guy's feedback and see if he and Metro end up exchanging pleasantries or not.

The same kind of person who sends money to a seller he's unfamiliar with prior to receiving any merchandise?
