CHANCER, CROOK, OR CON-MAN... WHAT SAY YE ALL...?

What is it about ebay that attracts chancers, crooks, and con men?  Take a look at the above comic by a seller called mrskear.  He or she was asking £55 for it the other day.  Picked yourself up off the floor yet?  The original US comic that this UK issue is reprinted from isn't even worth anywhere near that.  I messaged them to say so in an attempt to be helpful, lest the seller was uniformed and just thought that any SUPERMAN comic with #1 on it must be worth a bundle.  I thought they'd appreciate knowing that their credibility was seriously open to question asking a price like that.   They didn't respond to my message, but upped their price to £70 - and removed the option to message them.  That's right - £70 for a tatty, creased, and worn comic.  Someone else is currently selling a better condition copy for £14.99, so I can only assume that the first seller is simply chancing their arm in the hope that someone is stupid enough to pay that kind of crazy price.  What a cheeky chancer, eh?  And ebay has far too many sellers like this.
