999ghosts Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 In that case: who wants my 9.8 Secret Wars copy. Only $5000... That's 300 cheaper then his raw book. Bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFan Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I particularly love how, in his ad, the Craigslist seller mentions those "record sale" numbers without giving any context for them -- and conveniently leaves out the "minimum value" amounts that are also provided by the source he's referencing. 999ghosts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artboy99 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 My favorite part is it will cost $3000 more if I look at them. LOL! Mercury Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FineCollector Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 There should be a rule against posting nosebleed CGC prices on an online price guide. The laypeople who use these references don't understand them. Those two books will never sell, and spend another two decades rotting in a mouldy shed.

We don't need a rule we just need to educate the ignorant. That website is designed to drive uneducated comic sellers to their sales department. Where it says highest sale they don't even list the grade they are referencing. I would have loved if this guy on craigslist called up that company and started to waste their time based on those figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miraclemet Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Will he charge me 7500 if I show up with an eyepatch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roach04 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I don't get all the jokes - as soon as I can get to this guy I will! BARGAIN! He's clearly an expert as he doesn't want to remove such rare, old comics from their bags to inspect them... These types of things are just nuts. But they never stop and really never will. Heck, how many eBay sellers do you see with insane pricing that somehow have sold 10s of thousands of books? Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoMan Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 (edited) I think answering these ads and meeting the kinds of delusional people that place them would make an humorous and interesting documentary film. Of course if I was a dealer that delt with these dumb-A** on a regular basis I would feel very different about making/watching such a film.

Fan Boy Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Here’s the 64 cents Question: anyone ever tried to actually message/call/send the Roman runner to this guy to inquire about his books for sale?
