God, I can't stand people who type like they're text messaging someone...

I swear I was just looking at that auction less than 5 minutes ago. It must be a scam!!

 

The questions people asked are ridiculous!! The first question I would have asked is the name of the comic store you brought it to in L.A.? Then, I would call the store to verify if they seen an Action #1 in the last month! Furthermore, the pics look fake!!

Well I just asked this person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed bag what the dimensions of the book are. What is the betting I get no response.

 

deamentia you are right. I also hate that text message style. So unnecessary on the Net.

[Duffman_Comics]

Oh, another thing, isn't it interesting that the cover scan is so small and DARK that the "vehicle running board", a dead giveaway, cannot be discerned. The scans of the pages, however, despite being as small are so much brighter.

[deamentia]

Notice that the cover of the book is flat and cropped with a drop shadow added to it. The book has no depth if you look at the cover. That's definitely not a scan, but a low res jpg, most likely taken from another source.

[Spidersense]

It angers me that people do this kind of stuff.

[bullseye]

not to mention no sweat in the bigger pic but might be some in the smaller pic, so at the very minimum they are taken of 2 diff books, and the top one is definitely fake as far as I can tell.

Have you looked at her transaction history? She seems to be a big lover of the movie "Gremlins", "ET" and Wal-Mart pins! WTH!!!

 

[Spidersense]

I doubt it will last the next 9 days. It will get pulled.

For her sake let's hope it's real because anyone that has so many spelling errors and grammar issues isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer and I don't think she's holding down a career or going to school.

 

I also wonder who's photos she scammed with the watermark logo

Good thing you guys are here to warn us against a potential purchasing disaster.

[Paratrooper]

Anyone who can afford an Action #1 in the first place will be smart enough to realize this is a scam.

Wouldnt a comic store offer more than 5,000 dollars for an 8.5 Action Comics #1?

Not if the comic store thought they were dealing with an i d i o t... which is ironic..because that's clearly what we have here...

[OrangeNemesis]

No local pick up . what a scam.

[binarysunrise]

What a forward-thinking grandfather to keep the comic bagged and boarded back in 1938...
