They're a bit thrifty with item description considering their OPENING price is two bucks an issue for this auction.

It's not a good idea to buy anything from ANYONE with a feedback rating of zero.

The way to get a handle on how eBay works is to first build up a few dozen positive ratings from successful purchases. Then you know enough to avoid, as a seller, creating such utterly vague listings as this one. You've then been through the wringer with their shortcomings already, and are less likely to inflict them on others.

They might even be cheaper - it says "at least 100" books - could be 101, maybe even 102...

Of course, the lot could comprise 20 copies of Space Circus, 30 of the ProFem story and 50 of the Bizarro Legion.

Exactly. Way too little on the description and not enough on the feedback. And the new seller notification isn't there so this seller has been around for at least 30 days.

I'm with Grey. They need to build up some feedback with purchases first then try selling. And try being more descriptive. If it isn't worth your time to catalog what you are selling then it isn't worth my time or money to bid.

Poor queenofhearts42 is gonna have his/her li'l heart broken when that auctions ends bid-less, as it must.

Teeds, I love it when you spotlight amusing eBay auctions.

I'd like to suggest* you use this thread to do so whenever you happen across one.

*Actually, I'd like to order you to do so, but I'm fearful for my shins if I do...

Those are definitely short-shorts/hot-pants, Kara's 70s outfit.

Sometimes these color-guide pages get good bids, but I still think I would have started it at $9.99.

This guy appears to have some experience though, so we'll see...

What the heck is that? Was there a real live group call the Legion of Super-Heroes, or was this hommade fanboy thing?

$70.00 for SUPERBOY #212!?!?!

I love the Legion, including Calorie Queen, but that's just wrong.

Holy Hannah!

If that's the "nice" price, I'd hate to see the "snarky" price!!!

And was Superboy using x-ray vision when he was staring the Legion?

Nightcrawler, you are too nice, so i will say it for you.

"They must be outta their ****in' minds!" I bought that book a couple of years ago, i think it was. And while i love it, it wasn't that good, or that rare.

However, maybe i should put my BoP #8 up for sale. I hear some places are askin' $75 for it.


Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Something pithy!

My copy of the preceeding issue, 211, was published in September 1975. The auction item is Nura's personal way-advance copy. Snap it up!

Superboy #212, CGC grade copy at 9.4, is worth $25. A 9.4, non-CGC graded, is worth $12. Anyone who doesn't do their own research before falling victim to eBay sellers like this deserve the item they purchase.

The monetary value of this comic (or any comic, or anything) is whatever someone will pay for it. I ain't holding my breath for ol' niceprice$ though.

Now, cultural value...we are talking about the FIRST APPEARANCE OF CALORIE QUEEN. Hooray, Taryn!

Say, did you see the seller's other SLSH auctions?

SLSH 213

SLSH 241

Perhaps they're a bit pricy but they are in minit condition!

The guy should stick to selling CD's, watches and dog leashes. He knows nothing about pricing comics.

Do you remember when this thread used to be called The Legion of Vague eBay Lots ?
