I just love auctions like this - share your laughable finds

Post by Johnseye »

This just makes me cringe. This guy puts up an auction for Eternal Warrior and the pictures he's got are of a rack of other issue comics and a stack of beat up long boxes that are about to topple over. Is that supposed to be enticing?

I'll put up more laughable auctions as I find them. Please share the fun.

Yea, that's a good (bad?) one. I always love the spelling errors and messed up titles from people unfamiliar with Valiant. One person kept listing a lot of Rai, and I've seen Harbringer, Bloodsport, Ninja K (which I actually kind of like). And of course the popular Valient and Magnvs. Good thread idea.

Yes! That's another great example. Huge, Giant, even Big...these are for lots above 16 for sure. In the case of comics anyway. Maybe elephants would be applicable.

Yes it's a near complete run folks for a total of 16.

You even get them bagged and boarded (2 per bag).

What a bargain :lol:

Yea, somebody keeps using the term "complete run" to mean "all the issues of this title we have."
