| Look, I reallllly wanted this Justin Roiland variant of Rick and Morty #1. It's a $200 book that goes for $600-800 on ebay usually. It doesn't show up much. I found it strange this book was exceeding $1700 now...with 5 hrs to go.... But then this happened: http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=132215884762&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2765 |

| With the exception of the first bidder, most bids afterwards are ALL feedback of (0), (0) and (23) and (17), the same 4 bidders. Two are zero feedback. Now it looks like everyone else stopped being interested after $1000. | ||

| 0 feedback is always my red flag for shill bidding! And I have been watching this one too! Definitely suspicious | ||

| With the two highest bidders both having zeros, I'd say probably shill bidding. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the last ten minutes. I understand your concern, though. If it shows it sold for this much, even if it's fraudulent, future auctions for this book will have a false basis for comparison. |

| 8***r also has 100% bid activity with that seller, lots of fishyness. I just ran into a similar pattern with an item I'm watching. | ||

Of course it is. This book would never go for that number. I know stupidity and money often mix, but this would be a special kind of stupid  |

| Also watching this book and I call shill. I know it's a rare book but for that money I'd want an original sketch from Justin, and realistically if you flashed a $2000 roll to him at a con he'd probably draw you anything you want. | ||

| Yup. So disappointing. What's it good for? Nothing because he's going to relist again probably because no one is buying what he's selling. Literally. | ||

| The book already has an extremely low print run so to have a 1 in 50 retailer incentive on a book that no comic book shop hardly ordered any copies of I think is the primary driving force why the book is so valuable | ||

| No offense meant to any one as I understand there be fans of all sorts of TV show and such, but I fail to see this amateurishly drawn Rick and Morty funny book to be worth much more than cover price. I scoped some other Rick and Morty listings on eBay and found this $5K "gem" which to me is even more ridiculous than the 1700 (obviously)shilled up one currently under discussion. If this is the "new school" of comics dealing, then maybe it is indeed time for this old dinosaur to hang it all up and walk away from all this insane BS as I currently see it unfolding. I mean, I have a 6 year old grand son draws better than this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rick-and-Morty-1-BLANK-VARIANT-cgc-signature/222538823268?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D41375%26meid%3D34e6f6b5723a4d03b7470f40c699df43%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D132215884762  |
