Volume 4 comics selling for over $100?!
 
I don't know if any of you have seen this, but I think its a tad bit crazy.

Autographed or not, I can't see it going that high. The same individual is selling autographed Captain Americas for only $10!

And why can't anybody on eBay seem to be able to spell Laird right?

EDIT: Looks like it started out for $11.99... man... those must be some hard-up fanboys and girls!

this doesn't make sense...i smell a rat here.

Roseangelo 05-16-2008 09:24 PM

Something has to be fishy. Peter's autograph isn't that rare and there's absolutely nothing special about that comic book! Hmmmm.

MrPliggins 05-16-2008 09:30 PM

yeah, the bidding list is private too, which makes me think the guy was bidding on his own stuff to drive the price up. Possible?

You know what I always say...Report for Shilling first, ask questions later!

You're probably right...shilling can be the only reason this has been driven up so high...

EDIT: Looks like it ended at $102. I think we got a bargain getting a full sketch and signature in our #29 for $10!

Even so, doesn't that still mean there's someone who actually bid $100?

Undoubtedly.

Beyond anything else... just look at the spine in that picture? The book itself is busted and wrecked... "unread" should say "unloved"... guy probably found it in a dollar box at some con, and grabbed it to get Laird's sig slapped on it with dollar signs in his eyes...

I smell shill bidding to the max, here... why anyone would pay that much for garbage is beyond me.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 05-27-2008 09:41 PM

Here's the problem...
 
It's going to be easier for sellers to get away with shill bidding now that e-bay has anonymous bidders, especially since I would think a member could get in possible trouble if they reported a seller for shill bidding and then the investigation proved otherwise. I COULD be wrong about that, but if I'm right, it would be a gamble to accuse a seller of shill bidding with the new system in place simply because the bidder IDs are now anonymous.
