I think there's more to it than that....the same buyer bought both?

Dormant for months, then suddenly blows $5500 on overpriced crap.....

Damn!

WTF?? That must mean an 8.5 is worth about $6000 --- I might have to email the buyer an offer

At least it includes S&H

I CAN'T BELIEVE SOMEONE BOUGHT THAT!!!!

Three Grand for a modern Spidey book, it doesn't even appear to be some rare variant. That has to be a joke bid or something...
From the same seller. He obviously follows the PT Barnum theory.

Am wondering if he realized his mistake and asking for his money back or the auction nullified.

Can anyone bidding on this pls give me some warning first because I'm gonna bid.

FYI I would probably go as high as 1.5 times starting price...YEAH RIGHT!!!

Not that I'm gonna bid even if he complies, but I asked the seller this -

"Can you send me a pic of you holding this and a newspaper with today's date???"

Check this out -

Magnus 0 for a buck

I was going to ask about this book having the coupon, but read into the listing a little further and not only is the seller charging $5.00 for MEDIA MAIL, but insurance is required - at $2.35!!! That's the insurance rate for something OVER $50 - this is a shady move IMO. Anyone here wanna risk it?

Daniel Jackson · Post by **Daniel Jackson** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 1:27 pm

Maybe I read it wrong, but it looks like 5 bucks to ship 1-49 books and the insurance is for orders going for over 50. If this is the case that's not too shabby a deal if a guy could find some more books to buy from him.

Something's up. Think maybe he's thinking Original Magnus #1?
($2.95?)

How about. # 1 of 4 books. Just a guess.

I bid on this one to $5. It is Magnus 0 and even though I have two copies it never hurts to have another one. I think this book is a good deal in the $10-$20 range.

I'm the same way, I just picked one with card for 5 bucks a couple of months ago and I already have 4 of them.

You can't go wrong with this book, and it never hurts to have extras of the variants.

I think he means one of four CGC 9.4's.

Again, a clueless seller or a dishonest a-hole? I think in this case it's the latter because his description doesn't match the book:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0022355185

Hopefully everyone that would want the $2.50 version knows enough to look for the UPC code box.

I agree, but you should expect sellers to be as honest as they can, as well. This guy's description (that looks like he boosted it from this site) does not match the book he's selling.
