Auction Hall of Shame!

Another good search engine topic for Ebay would be "comic book collection." Some of these are ridiculous in price and takes all the fun of an on line auction.

Peace

This isn't really a "hall of shame" auction, I just didn't know where to put my question.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 88212&rd=1

or this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 90945&rd=1

Anybody know what the deal is with this auction?!? Why is it going so high? I don't even see gold here?!?

WTF is going on here? If this is a trend, I'm getting ready to sell, sell, sell!!

just another example of two bidders getting into a bidding war. You see this on eBay all the time. The desire to win overrules common sense. If just one of them had done a little research on what these books usually go for, this wouldn't happen.

Man, how embarrassing $51.00 for a run of Hard Corps? $61.00 for a run of A&A? And that doesn't include shipping.These guys must still be hung over from New Years Eve.

Does that explain the run of Strawberry Shortcake #1-3 I won for $189?

Personally, I think this buyer got a great deal on both these runs - if you take the seller at his word. If these are really all 9.6 (NM+) to 9.8 (NM/M), about cover price seems a decent deal to me.

Of course, it's very unlikely they are all NM+ or better. And in that case you could have bought them from Steve or me for pennies each.

Bidding war sounds right to me. Maybe these guys know the seller grades his books?

A&A has always been underated in price. Same with Shadowman. Maybe the pendalum is swinging back for this run.

If it's a complete run, I think he got both variants.

There is a SECRET code here

If you think these are NEW, you don't know the code. Someone on the car forum I post at 'enlightened' us to the code....

Well, of course, requests are made AFTER the auction is over....as to what the buyer prefers in his (or, on the off chance, her) 'unused' panties.

They do really naughty sexual type things with them, natch.

Mainly, though, you can only sell CLEAN clothes on eBay, and undergarments have to be 'new'.

There are some naughty, naughty folks out there who will pay good money for...well....interesting things to be done with other people's undergarments.

Now we know where the infamous Pube came from . . .

Wonder if Bill and Monica had a few copies of Turok #1 laying around with all those cigars?

I think it's that single mom again. Providing for her kids, one bounce at a time.

Once I hit $60 and he still had 2 bids higher than that I was just wondering how nuts he was but I backed off before I broke the next highest. He must have REALY wanted the sets he was bidding on they were all like that 4 of them also including Hard Corps and a Rai set he got for $51 each. That's sorta like when I bought that lot off of TLC with shipping it was between $40 to $50 and I did that for 4 comics I needed

. I wanted the Shadowmen for a 3rd set but I have set limits in regards to how many I have of them but like everyone sometimes I get caught up in not wanting to lose
