$20+ for magnus #1 just threw me off. I wasn't sure if there was more to this auction I am missing that drove the price up so high.

That does seem a little high (at this time anyway).Maybe the way the seller listed it as "mint" and "flawless" may have something to do with it.

Here's one for the defiant collectors...
at such a reasonable offer, you'd be a sucker not to buy

Gotta be a typo... $5.99 seems likely.

I don't know how eBay allows this kind of sales.

What's amazing is the fact that people bid on them.

He says that if someone wins all three that they are guaranteed that one will have the "big" item.

All the guy has to do is have a shill set a snipe for $500+. If the snipe wins for less than $500 then, unfortunately, the other "winners" get the crap and the shill is the "winner". If some idiot bids more than $500 then he can send them a "$500" item and congratulate them.

Also, the $500 item is probably a $200 retail item that the seller stole or bought for cheap (<$100).

What kind of idiot falls for this kind of scam?

This guy is an idiot I just thought he should have posted his sale here seeing as this is where it belongs.

You're a little too late slick, check out the other thread.

Might as well be here as well. It is pretty shameful. I sent the guy a message through ebay about copying straight from the site. Just a bad idea.

The feedbacks and bidding history is scary. This blogger claims to be the buyer:

Almost too good to be true

Reminds me of the story when someone tricked a scammer into wasting customs fees.

Did anyone see this? I guess I knew it was a matter of time, but still...

At least it didn't get a bid! I don't know if that's good or bad, though............. I mean, oh, you know what I mean.

I had seen this, and several other good ones I've been considering. It's the same seller who sold "have your name in a comic" (wish I had seen that one in time). So, assuming you worried that someone here was taking a gift to eBay - my conclusion is that you need not worry.
