Greg Jortner, ebay seller Paradoxauctions09 0

i swear to g-d, why anyone would purposefully overgrade a book just boggles my mind.

 

even if you get ten suckers to buy in without complaint, the amount of headaches you have to deal with of your own creation with the one guy who does complain would render all that moot.

 

plus, you just lost a buyer permanently.

 

 

if you can't grade, don't sell books. period. if you can and overgrade on purpose, you're worse than any press-and-flipper that's ever lived by a couple dozen orders of magnitude

Yet another new victim of Jortner has contacted me. Apparently Jortner is pursuing the development of contacts in the comic community through Craig's List.

 

I strongly advise anyone contemplating doing business with him, whether buying or selling, first think twice about doing so.

 

If you believe you have been victimized by Jortner, please feel free to contact me at EsquireComics@aol.com or Mark@MarkZaid.com.

 

Please excuse the cross-post but I want to ensure any thread discussing Jortner is kept up to date.

Wasn't this the guy that was supposed to show up for a court date that had to due with his ex-wife but delayed the date? What happened with that Mark?

No, that is the infamous Danny Dupcak. That case is still proceeding.

Googled him and found this thread. There's a reason I Googled him. He purchased a few books from me, seemed like a nice enough fellow, and it was a fast, friendly, problem-free transaction. At least the first time, but he later became completely sketchy and unreliable when we tried to do a subsequent transaction that he initiated. Just excuse, after excuse, after excuse. Obviously, I didn't have quite the same problems as the ones posted here because I was selling and not buying, but he creates enough of a hassle that I wouldn't wish to do business with him again.

This guy is a menace.. He's scammed so many collectors AND dealers. Surprised he keeps getting away with it. 

Last I heard he was working with Mike Carbonaro on ebay under username: carbomcu

Scams have always been there, just happen to catch up here and there 

How many people are scammed daily that nobody hears about?

A lot
