| Just another good reason to ask for the comic to be taken out of the bag before you buy it!!! I just wanted to make sure everyone saw this. clickable text |

| Ouch! That really sucks! I'd imagine there's little recourse when you discover it after the fact since it becomes one person's word against the other's. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by PINKFLOYD This one would have been simple to detect. All they did was attach a photocopy of the Adam Hughes cover to another comic. It sounds like they figured it out when they pulled the comic out to have him sign it. THAT would be embarrassing! |

| @Jesse_O From my reading, it wasn't even attched, at least not in the "staples holding it to the book" way. Sounds like it was just Suicide squad with the photocopy inserted into the bag on top of it. | ||

| For that much money, I would ask the seller to remove it from the bag and inspect each page for flaws. Live and learn. | ||

| At a show, I asked a dealer to take a book out of the bag to inspect it ($85). He said he didn't want to take it out because he didn't want it handled a lot. I told him, that if the inside and back were like the cover, I wanted to buy it at his asking price. He said he'd rather not take it out. I passed. later in the day, I noticed that the book wasn't on his display anymore. Never found out if he sold it or pulled it. | ||

| I have been burned by sellers on e-bay. I found Harley Quinn #1 (2000) & it included #2 & #3 as well. I thought what a great deal! The thing is the picture showed the books like a hand of cards. #1 was NM-VF but the others were poor or good at best. The picture covered up the flaws of the others. I learned my lesson... | ||

| Who buys a book they can hold in their hands without taking it out of the bag? I do that with any book I want to buy, even if its in the dime box. I certainly wouldn't pay that kind of money without a VERY close inspection, which would include the entirety of the interior. |

| Thanks Jesse for pointing out this article. I wonder how the person selling fakes like that can live with themselves. They will get what is coming to them. Bad karma. This will make me more aware of what I am buying. | ||

| I wonder what the shyster would have said if the customer had unbagged it right then and there? That would have been and should have been a huge scene. | ||

| @stophmaster I too have seen buyers do this. They just pull the comics from boxes and pay the seller without inspecting the book. I'm too persnickety for that. | ||

 ...You Google Persnickety to find a funny meme but all you find are pictures of kids modeling fancy clothes.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by DarthLego Haha. Not what I originally wrote. A mod here decided to edit it and removed the word b***h from it because it was deemed to be an "offensive word". Pretty silly considering I was calling the male thief a b***h. And, yes, bad girls can be hot  Hopefully, that didn't offend anyone... |
