I hope one of you guys aren't eBay user frankkorntree. This guy loves to keyword spam (he's the same guy who used "Bloodshot Platinum Error" for a Magnus statue listing):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0298926847

What does this lot have to do with Wii? Are Dino and company working to put out a Valiant Wii game?

Also, he's trying to do a flip of a bunch of Harbinger common slabs that he bought from showcase-new-england:

http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V ... =1&guest=1

It looks like he paid a little less than $200 shipped for these. Now you can have them for the low, low bargain price of $530 shipped.

Really, there's not anything wrong with flipping things. In this case, it just reminds me of that guy on those commercials who buys a painting at an art auction, then immediately wants to put it back up for sale. :lol:

Probably a case of buyers remorse. :hm:

I think it's ridiculous, and wrong that people spam like that. If there was an actual report of a game, I'd at least be happier if there was an explaination of it in the description.

wow, eBay actually did something about keyword spamming? I didn't even report the guy as I figured it's a waste of time. Maybe people looking for a Wii got tired of seeing an auction for comic books coming up in their searches. :?

Must have been some other reason it was pulled, because now it's back and is more keyword "spammy" than it was before, still mentioning the Wii, now it also contains a "1" in the title, to bring in any of you who were searching for a Harbinger #1. :roll:

Yeah, sometimes I just reach my limit. After looking at 3 pages of crap when I search CGC before I even find a single slabbed book, I was about ready to drive to wherever this goob was, and shove the books so far up his azz that he'd be burping Harby panels for a week.

:D

A worthwhile addition to the HOS. Price is only about 2-2.5 times what it should be, but the text and titles are priceless.

Investment Harbinger cgc 9.8 1 Movie Valiant Rai X-O
14 total Must Unity Wii game coming soon Solar X-O WOW

You are buying 14 Investment grade cgc certified harbinger valiant comics

All Comics are cgc 9.8 all with white pages
All Comics Are Highest in The CGC Census

New company just bought valiant and have announce the harbinger movie.

At there peek valiant would outsell all other books Batman spider man superman x-men

remember when there movies came out and the books tripled

most of these books there are only 4 in the world.
that's right 4
Numbers 9,10,11,16,17,18,19,20,21,23,26,27,29,30

Hey DINO! How's that WII game coming????????? :lol:

Harbinger FILES #1" only stated in the auction...

You are correct - not only a d-bag but an assbag as well.

I have to give the edge to "whack bag #3".

At least the first guy lists his with a Best Offer, although I bet if you actually offered him what it was worth, he would shoot you down.
