Some Ebay bidders certainly have nerve

Yes, $30 seems to still be a very good price for him

 

Maybe $50 (or even more) is a more adequate price ?

Not really. Book goes for $50 in NM and this one is VF/NM so maybe $35. Used to go for more but apparently there has been a flood of them on eBay recently.

Funny thing is this morning I checked my e-mail and there were several questions from Ebayers asking what happened to the #292 and asking if they could still buy it if it was available. One guy even offered $40, or $50 if it was a NM. I of course told them it had been sold, but I'm sure I'll be fielding more questions like that. I had to make some kind of note about it in the auction description since there is that unremovable Q&A on the bottom mentioning it.

The question having gone onto the eBay page helped you because had you just sent an e-mail to the original guy then he would have kept it to himself and won the auction on the cheap but since it was written on the page he had to act quickly.

What this points out is that some people are just stupid. Had he said nothing, he would have 1) gotten the book 2) had $25 more in his pocket and 3) been able to watch your auctions again for more hidden SMF variants.

Not sure why more are not concentrating on the illegality of the whole process. BASSGMAN, you can count on me never bidding on your auctions. To think you lowered your arse to the same level as the guy everyone is ripping. All you had to do was report him to ebay for soliciting a sale off ebay. YOU arer the scammer.

BassGman is certainly not a scammer, but I would have liked to have seen him leave the book in the auction too. Who knows what the original auction might have pulled.

[skybolt]

Why would BassG be a scammer if there were no bids on his auction?! It's not like someone already won the books, and this specific comic was pulled.

Just read through this thread.....and Sid did nothing wrong. And he could have been a a-hole about it. The kid went over the line when he sent the payment before Sid actually agreed to a deal....but it sounds like both parties ended up with what they wanted.

Sid has done nothing wrong. He scammed noone. He went above and beyond what any seller should have to do. He was a nice guy about it. Much nicer than I would have been. The prospective buyer sure is an anal little cuss.

While Sid did nothing wrong,what I would have done was let the auction play out,after making it clear that the book was in the auction,maybe even changing the title to reflect it.Certainly would have brought mo' money.

[Anfield Fox]

The only thing Sid did wrong is not selling the book to me, and for that i will have to kill him

[spidrvacc]

BassG a Scammer . Please. He was so much nicer than I would have been. Its not that the kid tried to get a $50 book for $5 that pizzed me off. That was low but it happens . It was the attempt to manipulate him with sending payment without being asked. I would have reported him and then send him a nasty email. but hey thats just me.

Right, in retrospect that is exactly what I should have done. But with all the confusion going on with this one dang book I had promised it to both Friendly Andy as well as Anfield if "Friendly" didn't want it. Plus I even had another backup. I would have felt like an arse myself if I blew everybody off and just left the auction as it was originally but by pointing out the #292 variant.

[Underdog]

I think you should just rid yourself of the headache and give it to me.

No pain at all!

[40oz-migration]

Sid did nothing wrong? Huh? he did the harshest thing to ALL Ebay users by selling off ebay what was for sale on Ebay. Nothing damages Ebay more and it also damages, via trickle down garbage, all of the Ebay users. Isn't usnig ebay to create a sale off ebay the cardinal ebay sin? it sure is! total scammer if you ask me. Everyone watching that auction got scammed. Ebay got scammed. buyers/sellers got scammed due to higher ebay fees as a result. any asm 292 second print collector got scammed. even bassgman got scammed because he got less than he should have. i don'get it, you people should be ratting him out and no longer conducting business with him. who knows how many times he has done that and howm nay times unfriendlyandy has done it. scammer! scammers! scammers!
