Who is this Maniac?

[joe_collector]

Like I said before, I've bought some books from this seller (VF/NM to NM, pretty consistent), but over the last few weeks, I've noticed a certain bidder has been laying down the smack on some pretty seedy books:

Any idea who this guy is, and why he's paying hundreds for 5-issue runs of Invaders, Red Sonja and Warlord?

What the f ...I couldn't get $9.99 for those last year...time to re-list I guess..

There's something going on, and if you look at his bidding history, you'll see some real whoppers on 70's junk like Red Sonja, Invaders, etc.

 

I have plenty of that [!@#%^&^], and in the past it's been worthless, and I can only imagine the guy bought some books from the seller, liked them and has seriously taken the "NM investment" advice to extremes.

 

He's the reincarnation of jgreen..

Actually looking at that bid history, who's the real insufficiently_thoughtful_person? The one who got outbid at $90 for that [!@#%^&^] or the one who is winning at $92? Or is it a question of degree of "moronity"...

[joe_collector]

Yeah, that timmyworld guy is in there with checkbook in hand, just asking to get reamed over common, common, common Bronze Age junk.

 

His bidding history is no better...

[Darthdiesel]

Possible that the seller's mutual shill buddies got their signals crossed about who should bid this time on what....

[joe_collector]

Remember I brought up a potential shill account for the same seller? Amazingly that bozo stopped bidding immediately and never came back...

 

You may be right, as the seller was getting high-dollar bids for the key X-Men's and Hulks, then a pile of junk went on to low bids... maybe someone wants 1970's Invaders to equal New X-Men??

[ArAich]

Screw that other stuff...I'm going for the Ghost Castle books...

Just keep an eye out for Little Timmy and the Monster from the Tarpit!!
