This fool paid...and paid dearly....for some of these books. This one was the worst. $281 for a common, late Silver Age VF copy that Guides for $57?

I think this guy will learn his lesson after this. Oy.

It looks like there was something funky going on there. Did you see the bid cancellation?

Looks like the bidder joined @ the same time the auction started. Interesting.

Did you see the other 2 auctions he bid on? CEAR

It looks like he is trying to juice up the market by bidding on his own stuff. Then, after making people think that these issues are in demand, he will actually try & sell them.

What a turd......

Resurrecting an oldie but a...well, short lived thread...

I ran across this this AM, having nothing better to do since I wasn't sleeping....

Look at his terms.

Go ahead, I'll wait.









Can you believe that? $4 HANDLING fee ON TOP of the actual postage.

Good god almighty, what a racket.

Someone...please, someone somewhere...point me in the direction of ANYONE who pays $4 PER PACKAGE for 'handling'. Minus the $1-$1.50 TOPS for packing material, and you've got yourself a $30-$45 an hour job if you only pack 10-15 packages an hour!

Huh...$10-$12 for the set seems about right. That said, it was a very good underrated series. The last 10 or so issues are impossible to find, and # 1 & 10 are semi-keys as they each feature a few pages of Whilce Portacio's first professional artwork (first as inker, then penciler)

Seriously, this series is my favorite quarter-bin find...

Whilce's first pro work was the Longshot mini, which came out a year+_ before SM #1. ;)

#1 is inked by Whilce, and #10 and #16 are penciled by him, too. :) Also, Strange Tales #12, second series, has a story pencilled by him.
