Dont know if anyone heard about this. some guy purchased what he thought to be spiderman#1. After six days of bidding he ended up paying nearly 14 thousand dollars. this would have been a steal if it were not a re-print. yeah, i said re-print. He paid nearly 14 grand for a $2 comic book LOL

lol poor dude!

Another reason why I never buy off Ebay.

I buy there frequently and nothing bad has ever happened...

yeah, i havent had problems either. I have had some problems with people not sending the item.

You would have to be a nutty bastard to purchase somthing for over the thousand dollar range and not even handle it or be there in person.

I kind of serves him right, he should have read the full description, and if it didn't say it was a re-print he should complain...

A link to the story would have been nice It would have shown "research"

there are so many scams on ebay and myspace

poor guy

i have'nt ever buy anything on e-bay..coz it is working here just for few months
but i've bought some stuff on one other interent auction (one book, IRda-USB cable and i guess that it )

I'd love to see this story. If it is true, it is either a case of him being decieved, or of him being lazy. If he was lazy, then tough luck. If he was decieved,then I would think that he could legally pursue the issue.

Either way, it's good to go through life remembering the saying,"buyer beware" whenever you plan on purchasing a large ticket item.

Yeah, it depends in what you buy and if there's a picture of the item. I have been following the story of the selling of U2 tickets on eBay, some for over 500 dollars and if you go and try to find at least a picture of them, you would not see anything...
Not so long ago a woman got scam and bought the tickets on eBay, some days before the concert the received only photocopies of the tickets, she went to the concert and found out that she was not the only one scammed by this person, a bunch of people had the same tickets and the same photocopies... while the original ones were already used.

Poor people

It serves people right for relying on the technological age.

Haha

The moment i criticise someone for not doing research, your all over my nuts about it lol just kidding

No, i saw this story in passing on one of the news channels. It was a fairly short blurb, but the man who got screwed was being interviewed. Apparently there wasnt anything he could do about it, seeing how the seller never said it was or wasnt an original copy. It still seems as though the guy has some kind of ground to stand on. an insinuated lie is still a lie, but i guess they seller could play dumb and say he diddnt know himself.

I hate e-bay anyway HATE IT!

were you seriously expecting a reply from jm ?

though seriously, no matter what an avid fanatic one is, 14 grand is out of proportion when you got poverty around the world

Is it his fault that people go hungry? Of course not. I dont see exactly what you are saying. If you are hinting that his 14grand should go towards humanitarian, then you are expecting too much of him. Leave that to the African governments that let their countries go to shit

Yes ; Its immature to spend money like that and a bad example that reverts in a viscous cycle.

My point is, to spell it out to you, that spending 14,000 US $ on a comic is frivolous.

Too much ? TOO MUCH is 14,000 US $ for a ridiculous paper-back comic and to add insult its a copy ! Im not saying he should have donated 14,000 towards humanitarian aid, but as little as 10 US $ a month feeds a child !

^ typical american mentality : Let US take care of domestic problems and let the rest of the god damn world take care of theirs and go to shit

I hope people like you dont breed that often. Looks like we give more of a shit for some guy who got screwed on E-Bay for 14,000 dollars , and we dont five a flying **** for far off worse populations around the globe;

This Is one world.

Ebays has loads of rules and stuff.. alot of ppl who screw ppl over have to pay a price... ebay's very strict.
I always check out the seller properly b4 bidding on anything.. I've never had any trouble. as long as you know what your doing ebay's great.
A woman sold a bag for 1,000 pounds saying it was prada or something and the buyer found out it was a fake so the woman was sentenced to prison for 6 months even though the woman claimed she never knew it was fake.

So you see not everyone gets away with ripping ebayers off!
