And the "nice" full runs are anything but, nice or full.

Yes, I believe partial or almost full would have been more acurate.
It's Solar... Don't call him Dr. Phil!

Yeah, "nice" and "full" are nowhere near what these auctions are! Like the Rai auction, and I quote - "Nice Full Run of Rai Comics... You get Rai #7, 18, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32." AND he says they're only in F to VF condition! That's neither nice nor full...... :roll: Someone should send this guy a Webster's Dictionary.

Or the "Magnus nice full run" listed. Since when did a full run of Magnus only contain 32 issues? Also, it just so happens that all the valuable issues are missing except for a couple. Yep, nice full run alright.

I also like how he posts he's got Magnus #4. Of course, the picture shows Vintage Magnus #4. They're the same thing, right?

Well after all, it does have Magnus in the title so that's all that matters.

How many stupid eBay sellers does it take to change a lightbulb?








None! Are you kidding me?? It's still in 'MINT CONDITION!!!'

Besides, replacements are 'HARD TO FIND', and 'DON'T COME UP FOR SALE VERY OFTEN!'

Yeah, not just 50, but 50.01. This guy likes to dream big. You can tell he really knows about comics too. I like this...

My god, people are stupid - either for thinking this comic is worth the starting price, or thinking they can sucker some fish into biting on this comic.
