"This is a comic book that I purchased a from a man a few years ago"

[goldust40]

Haven't seen this posted in the GA section, so I thought I'd post it for laughs - yet another "genuine" Action 1 auction (in NM!!). Only a few minutes left, but there has been one bidder, who I'm positive is not a shill and I won't hear otherwise.

 

Particularly funny is the blurb (where I got the thread title......)

 

This is a comic book that I purchased a from a man a few years ago. I have also been told this comic is a great comic to own,but the starting price is what it is worth to me and family.It was in a plastic holder and has never been removed. It is in perfect condition, has no color fades, bends, or tares.The date on the cover reads 1938 and is the only date as you can see in the picture, but I have not removed it from the plastic.This comic has became very important to my family and myself, but it's time to pass it on to another collector. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me.Other pictures will be furnished if you email me.

Well, since he said "I'll report nonpaying bidders to Ebay", does that mean he's report himself?

The blurb makes little or no sense, and the reprint looks unread. This auction almost redefines stupidity.

Thankfully no real bidders have been, or will likely, be fooled. What's interesting is that these sort of auctions are now becoming so commonplace that this one almost evaded our radar........

well, i sent a message. i figure, if it's a shill, then all i lose is...well, nothing really.

Cheers for that. FWIW, there were no further bidders. Or questions re the auction.

The beads of sweat are missing off the man in the foreground. The running board on the car is also green on the repro, yellow on the original.
