That's a PERFECT case of overblown pricing just because someone else claims it's near-perfect. I really don't care about label-grades, if the book is nowhere near $200-250 guide price, why IN THE WORLD would anyone pay that much? Besides, aren't the chromium covers relatively easy to get high-grade numbers out of???

I don't care if it said 10.0, no way would I shell out a 2000% increase in price over guide for any comic. That, my friends, is what I consider stupid. Does this "person" actually think someone will fall for this?????

:!: :x :censored:

Even worse...
since Geomancer 1 is about a $1 book,
the pricing equates to 20000%.

I like his shipping policy "Checks take 1 week to clear with packages going out within 30 days after that. Money orders/PAYPAL go out within 30 days from receipt.I want to be upfront about this.I am slow. I do this by myself and it takes me time. So I want to make sure that you are aware of this. Thank You."

So in other words, if you win the auction, don't expect to see the book any time soon...

Taking that to long ship is pretty lame, I bet the guy would have a cow if a buyer took that long to get him his money.

The shipping would still kill you :? I don't see it selling might be wrong but most likely not

I am an idiot. I thought this was for 1-40 (no coupons) for $3.99 instead of 1, 8, 10-40. Probably wasn't worth the shipping but I did get the books and in a resonable time! Teaches me to be a little hammered and then bid on Ebay :!:

Mint? I think you need to check your safe.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Magnus-Robot-Fighte ... dZViewItem

And add in $5 shipping with $3.20 insurance? Plus private feedback?

I think Shakespeare was right. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Here's a great fiend.
I assume the pun is intended since his id is "bloodlordxx"

It looks just like this book:
