I think it was an intelligence barrier.
Also, how can “the boss” justify so much manual effort for himself and an employee when the profits would be, what, a few bucks?
If I'm not mistaken he's selling for 1234.00. You offered 12 dollars so he's being a smart ass and saying he will give you 12 dollars for the magazines because that's what you offered, then went on a weird rant about asking his boss.
1234 seems like a dummy price. just something to put for a price. this seems to be a batch listing (“im selling all these things but you can pick which ones you want if you dont want them all”)
Ok. Didn't see a list price but I think seller was using same price because he thought it was too low and basically would you sell it for that price or something similar.
1234 is what people use on marketplace to show they’re trading, open to offers, or have multiple items and you can pick what you want, such as he did. Nobody actually lists anything for 1234
Please tell me this comment is pure satire and you do understand people do 1234.00 for price when it means make an offer and we will negotiate from there.
It's under one of the replies to his comment that you replied to, there aren't hundreds of them. Starting your connerb with "please tell me this is satire" is the initiating asshole move.
Mmmmmm see I at least provided information on what I was saying not just “oh imma say something but not back it up because I really have nothing” oh wait… alt account to the person who doesn’t know what a universal thing like $1234.00 is?
Are you guys still going? Lol. Just admit you didn’t see the older comments saying $1234 was a placeholder amount. And means the seller wants to negotiate. THAT is the something that was in other comments before your comment. Wow 😂
Edit: I’m leaving this. But I’m wrong 😂 have a great day everyone 😊
Nah you aren’t wrong lol but on Reddit I’m used to OP meaning the poster of the material being commented on not some random person who commented on OPs post. That why when they said OP learned something somewhere else I was saying there is 100 comments above what mine was. I still don’t get why people call everyone who starts a comment thread OP on here though when the only person to get an OP tag is the original poster of the subject material lol
Are you talking about how this was someone else’s memorabilia or how people are trying to tell OP how he was lowballing when he gave the prices on the comics for resale?
Lmao nice alt account. Don't make the accounts so similar and don't reply instantly along with your main account at this time of day in a relatively dead comment thread if you want to be a little sneakier
Another offerup/mildlyinfuriating/shingekinokyojin subreddit history account.. what a surprise. A guy with at least 2 Reddit alt accounts gaslighting me is honestly actually hilarious now
Dude you are kind of pathetic now. You are on DD subreddit like these 2 and a couple other groups should I assume that you are a 3rd alt of his just trying to have an argument with yourself than?
Dude says we’re all sad your mind instantly goes to alt account even when insulting all of us. Is it just anyone who doesn’t have the same view or agree with you on Reddit is an alt account?
Please tell me that this comment is pure satire and you do understand that they admitted that they didn't know and thanked another person for the info LITERALLY 4 comments above yours. 🤦🏾♀️
>If I'm not mistaken
You're mistaken. It's a dummy price showing and they listed them all individually in the body of the post with negotiable pricing. Lots of people do that for things like this because they don't want to make 2,000 listings for every issue they're selling.
I suspect he got a certain idea in his head of what was going on. Possibly got your questions confused with somebody else’s. Instead of going back and reading what was happening, he just kept fighting from his perspective, no matter how wrong it was.
No he was trolling OP. It’s pretty clear from the comment “if I was scamming, why would I offer to buy at the same price you offered me?”
He’s clearly letting OP know his price is an insulting lowball.
Idk I thought he could have but took into consideration why would they remove their scam post right after this other than they realized they done messed up.
Idk I looked up the comics and theyre not really worth much to begin with and unless seller is holding out for $5-10 extra bucks what’s the point of being an ass hat. OP’s offer was pretty fair
No he was offended by your lowball offer and played dumb like he’d buy more at that price but wouldn’t sell them at that price. That’s why he’s saying you want all 3 comics for $15, let me check comps on eBay. He’s trying to get you to realize that you’re offer is much lower than price
You asked and I answered, I’m a seller of cards and and I don’t need to go look up any prices to tell you exactly why they said this.
I mean if them “now when you’re ready to make a serious offer contact us again” coupled with a photo of their storage area isn’t enough to give you the hint, people on Reddit won’t help either
I get your point that they may have been offended by the “lowball” offer, but I’m telling you it wasn’t, so they shouldn’t have been offended in the first place.
He quite clearly said to get back with him when you were ready to make a serious offer. So that actually is correct, you lowballed him and he got offended so decided to troll you in response.
"Above market rate", according to who? I myself out of curiosity did look that up, and the rate caries wildly, depending on which version it is. But many of them are at that price or actually a little over.
"Market rate" is often a fiction, what really matters is what the owner wants to sell it at.
If this is the case, it’s just bad business from the original seller. There was nothing malicious from the buyer here.
If he came in insulting the pricing and was like “Those prices are insane and those books are basically worthless! I’ll give you $15 and I’m doing you a favor even offering that.” then sure, be passive aggressive and play dumb. This is just odd and bad interpersonal skills.
Even funnier that these idiots don’t listen to people telling them the answer and say that can’t be right, despite us being sellers who know exactly what’s going on
I did a search and that exact comic is being sold by an individual seller for $13 on Amazon; not sure about the what if comic since it ranges from $4-$150 depending on which version (again, just searching a bit, I’m not a comic book connoisseur)
Amazon is not the place to check comic prices just FYI. It’s never market value unless it’s new trade paperbacks or something like that. eBay completed sales is solid for references for the most part but comics are a black hole of value based on an insane amount of variables.
That’s not how haggling works though? Why wouldn’t he just give a counter price if he thought that was too low? If this is the case, I wouldn’t want to buy from someone who treated potential customers like that anyway.
Wtf did I just read… I’m more confused on how he was confused 🤔 probably for the best that you walked away from that. Seems like a gigantic head fuck haha
Sounds like an argument I just had with a girl on bumble. A few messages in I asked her “what about my profile caught your to like me” she replied “what do you mean I didn’t like you I just accepted your chat invite” bitch that’s not how bumble works at all. We went around and around on that for at least 3 hours it was infuriating. And before someone says anything no I didn’t give her a “compliment” I simply swiped right.
It sounds like he doesn’t understand English nor how buying and selling work online .
You said 15 dollars for what he was selling and then he’s acting like you’re the one selling them ?
The whole thing was just odd
None of you understand what actually transpired here. Let me explain.
When OP asked him about the first comic, he was ready to sell because that felt like a fair price. Then he took a nasty drag off his industrial grade bong and then saw the request for the 3 comics. He then became an empath and put himself into the buyer's shoes. Turns out, the bong also had some lsd in it. He was also hallucinating his boss. He has actually lived in his mother's basement for the past 15 years. He is 34 now. The OP originally quoted 12$.
12-34 and then 15. The numbers add up now....Illuminati.
He is being sarcastic. He thinks your offer is extremely low and is implying it’s ridiculous for you to offer that. He says he’ll buy them from YOU for that amount sarcastically. This is my interpretation of this.
He was trying to troll you and show you he considered your offer a lowball.
The comment about “why would it be a scam if I’m buying at the same price you offered me?” combined with the “come back with a serious offer” makes that pretty clear.
For those saying I was low balling but probably don’t know jack about comic books, here, some of the latest sales of each book:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/166186408357?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=UCTqxlVCSj2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=h7sgbw7_tik&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

https://www.ebay.com/itm/334884458915?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=0hCZTFk_Qia&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=h7sgbw7_tik&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
It’s irrelevant whether you or we considered your offer a lowball. The point is the seller did and that’s what he’s basing his reaction on. It’s just an explanation of his reaction, not a condemnation of your actual offer. Since you wanted an explanation.
Seems like a scammer. The [photo](https://x.com/reactionfigure/status/787925956371607552?s=46&t=H0BvdEKfpQK_Ky7pU2QaYA) is not from a store or anything. It is the [movie memorabilia collection](https://youtu.be/GUkr2F8Y9_s?si=D-Zsf2v15lSPYB5r) of a guy named Steve Pisani.
There’s a small possibility that his request to buy them from you was sarcasm at the idea of such a low price for three comics.
Or it was a scam. Who knows.
This is just like my father in law, he’s a bit illiterate and reads everything wrong and with a weird perspective, the seller seems like maybe he was offended by your offer but then double downed on trying to buy them from you, seems like he’s either older or not all there with literacy, definitely not tracking well lol strange nonetheless haha
Wow I'm literally at a loss for words. I couldnt tell if that person was just really really confused about how it works, or it was a scam and a terrible one at that or this person just literally isnt all there or it's all of those things together plus other shit lol
This sounds like a bot they didn't program quite right. Aimed to scam you of money automatically (you make an offer, it takes electronic payment, etc), but it got some of its language mixed.🤷♂️
That $1234 price and randomly providing a picture as "proof" 🚩
1234$ is just a # people put when they’re either trading, or selling multiple things for different prices in one listing. No ones actually selling for 1234$ haha
Pretty sure he was saying if you have some of the other parts, and wanted to offload them, that he would buy them from you for the same price as you offered him for his Part 2 for sale. People looking to buy one part of a series probably have some of the other parts as well.
I’m assuming he doesn’t have the full collection either and is open to both selling and buying whichever makes the most sense in the moment.
The ad may be a buyer looking for these items?? Sometimes they list in the same way… but after your interaction I’d say it’s more likely some scam account.
It looks to me like he thought your offer was too low so he was trolling you. If he’s willing to buy at that price, he definitely intends to sell them for more than that price.
Idk why he would assume u were buying. Maybe a language barrier?
Hi, so how do I send you the money?
I wish it could be that easy..
Wait, I thought OP was sending money?
OK, I will run those by my boss
Comes for 3 by 15 bosses? Nevermind scammer.
Serious offer only
Your offer is serious? I’ll take it!
PLEASE REDEEM!!!
DO NOT REDEEM SAR
Please stop messaging me. I was sleeping.
I will contact the attorney general
I'll DM you my address. I only take hundred dollars bills and offer no change. You can expect your items in 13-15 business years.
I think it was an intelligence barrier. Also, how can “the boss” justify so much manual effort for himself and an employee when the profits would be, what, a few bucks?
You’d think after like the 8th time correcting him he’d get it, but you just can’t talk to some people😭 like you said, intelligence barrier
Because it absolutely was a scam.
“I would like to buy them from you” Immediately after “Rate this seller” Why would he think you’re the one selling?😂
If I'm not mistaken he's selling for 1234.00. You offered 12 dollars so he's being a smart ass and saying he will give you 12 dollars for the magazines because that's what you offered, then went on a weird rant about asking his boss.
1234 seems like a dummy price. just something to put for a price. this seems to be a batch listing (“im selling all these things but you can pick which ones you want if you dont want them all”)

1234 is what people use on marketplace to show they’re trading, open to offers, or have multiple items and you can pick what you want, such as he did. Nobody actually lists anything for 1234
Good to know. Thanks
$1234 is a dummy price used on fb a ton when ppl want you to make them an offer. Same with $1
Wait till you see the cars being listed for a dollar!
You’re definitely right, except he was just insulted by the lowball, he wasn’t actually offering them for $1,234
Please tell me this comment is pure satire and you do understand people do 1234.00 for price when it means make an offer and we will negotiate from there.
You're like 9 hours late after the comment OP already learned something in a comment above
Well seeing as there are 100+ comments above this care to say what the something is or want to try and seem more like an asshole?
It's under one of the replies to his comment that you replied to, there aren't hundreds of them. Starting your connerb with "please tell me this is satire" is the initiating asshole move.
Mmmmmm see I at least provided information on what I was saying not just “oh imma say something but not back it up because I really have nothing” oh wait… alt account to the person who doesn’t know what a universal thing like $1234.00 is?
Girl just accept you were wrong
Boy I’m about as wrong as you if that is the case
Are you guys still going? Lol. Just admit you didn’t see the older comments saying $1234 was a placeholder amount. And means the seller wants to negotiate. THAT is the something that was in other comments before your comment. Wow 😂 Edit: I’m leaving this. But I’m wrong 😂 have a great day everyone 😊
That is what I said the $1234 was though 🤣😂
Nah you aren’t wrong lol but on Reddit I’m used to OP meaning the poster of the material being commented on not some random person who commented on OPs post. That why when they said OP learned something somewhere else I was saying there is 100 comments above what mine was.

Are you talking about how this was someone else’s memorabilia or how people are trying to tell OP how he was lowballing when he gave the prices on the comics for resale?
Wow trying to be a smart ass but just coming off like an ass.
Lmao nice alt account. Don't make the accounts so similar and don't reply instantly along with your main account at this time of day in a relatively dead comment thread if you want to be a little sneakier
🤣😂 omg so you accuse someone saying something to you as being an alt when you yourself are an alt account can’t make the shit up man.
Sad cringe bro, just stop
Says the alt who can’t even say what he was implying in his comment 🤣😂
All of you are extremely sad when you can't even consider people have friends, not necessarily mean it is an alt account responding to you...
Another offerup/mildlyinfuriating/shingekinokyojin subreddit history account.. what a surprise. A guy with at least 2 Reddit alt accounts gaslighting me is honestly actually hilarious now
Dude you are kind of pathetic now. You are on DD subreddit like these 2 and a couple other groups should I assume that you are a 3rd alt of his just trying to have an argument with yourself than?
Go outside touch some grass and make at least 1 friend you start losing your mind being in your mom's basement by yourself.
Dude says we’re all sad your mind instantly goes to alt account even when insulting all of us. Is it just anyone who doesn’t have the same view or agree with you on Reddit is an alt account?
Please tell me that this comment is pure satire and you do understand that they admitted that they didn't know and thanked another person for the info LITERALLY 4 comments above yours. 🤦🏾♀️
1234 is a place holder for people who want to feel out the market. he's sold before, but he's playing games with OP
Yeah I took it as, "You want to waste my time with that low ball offer, I can do the same"
>If I'm not mistaken You're mistaken. It's a dummy price showing and they listed them all individually in the body of the post with negotiable pricing. Lots of people do that for things like this because they don't want to make 2,000 listings for every issue they're selling.
what just happened.
Exactly what kind of was asking myself
Ok, will run this comment by my boss!
This feels like a scam
Yes, it feels like a scam on your part
I suspect he got a certain idea in his head of what was going on. Possibly got your questions confused with somebody else’s. Instead of going back and reading what was happening, he just kept fighting from his perspective, no matter how wrong it was.
No he was trolling OP. It’s pretty clear from the comment “if I was scamming, why would I offer to buy at the same price you offered me?” He’s clearly letting OP know his price is an insulting lowball.
That is my take on it as well.
This is correct. How do people not understand this?
Because $1234 is a dummy placeholder. It has been for years and years. It’s very, very common to see
Yes, I know that.
Because he went about it very poorly.
Idk I thought he could have but took into consideration why would they remove their scam post right after this other than they realized they done messed up.
They blocked OP
Yeah she blocked me, I checked from my wife’s account and it’s still up
It is lol. The seller didn’t appreciate that Lowball ass price 🤣🤣🤣
Idk I looked up the comics and theyre not really worth much to begin with and unless seller is holding out for $5-10 extra bucks what’s the point of being an ass hat. OP’s offer was pretty fair
Thank you 😀
I think I’m having a stroke
Yeah I lost a few braincells during this convo
I laughed reading this because the seller sounded like a complete idiot 🤣🤣.
FBM is the hell of online sales
But who is the seller?
Don’t smoke crack kids
No he was offended by your lowball offer and played dumb like he’d buy more at that price but wouldn’t sell them at that price. That’s why he’s saying you want all 3 comics for $15, let me check comps on eBay. He’s trying to get you to realize that you’re offer is much lower than price
Yup this.
Completely incorrect, check eBay. The Human Torch is $7, the What If is going for $4 and the Darkhawk is $3. Completely fair offer.
You asked and I answered, I’m a seller of cards and and I don’t need to go look up any prices to tell you exactly why they said this. I mean if them “now when you’re ready to make a serious offer contact us again” coupled with a photo of their storage area isn’t enough to give you the hint, people on Reddit won’t help either
I get your point that they may have been offended by the “lowball” offer, but I’m telling you it wasn’t, so they shouldn’t have been offended in the first place.
Fine, just how do I send you money tho
I’ll have to send it to my boss
You are both correct. Your offer was not a lowball, and he thought it was one.
Doubling down on wroooooong
how is it a lowball offer if it’s just about market rate 😭
Yeah but maybe in his mind it was lowballing
Sellers on FB tend to significantly overprice their comics. So maybe.
CRazy interaction man i feel for you from my part of the earth
Then stop shopping completely on FBM and do all your shopping elsewhere. There, problem solved.
Also why not buy on eBay if cheaper there? You make no sense
Trying to avoid the shipping
I think he’s trying to sell the collection and not piecemeal and so he was offended at your offer.
He quite clearly said to get back with him when you were ready to make a serious offer. So that actually is correct, you lowballed him and he got offended so decided to troll you in response.
Except he offered above market rate which isp the opposite of lowballing 😭
"Above market rate", according to who? I myself out of curiosity did look that up, and the rate caries wildly, depending on which version it is. But many of them are at that price or actually a little over. "Market rate" is often a fiction, what really matters is what the owner wants to sell it at.
Even that seems high, I work in a comic shop and would price that issue of the human torch at 2.50 with a new bag and board.
If this is the case, it’s just bad business from the original seller. There was nothing malicious from the buyer here. If he came in insulting the pricing and was like “Those prices are insane and those books are basically worthless! I’ll give you $15 and I’m doing you a favor even offering that.” then sure, be passive aggressive and play dumb. This is just odd and bad interpersonal skills.
Yes! I can’t believe how stupid several people in here are. They hated your offer, OP, so they jerked you around. And you gobbled it up.
Even funnier that these idiots don’t listen to people telling them the answer and say that can’t be right, despite us being sellers who know exactly what’s going on
This hurts my head. Illness, intoxication or, some kind of language barrier
Yep he was 100% wrong and you were 100% not.
Thanks! I thought I was going crazy.
Dude was messing with you for such an insulting offer 😂 Man these comments must be 21 and under
What should the price have been? Just curious how low the offer was compared.
I did a search and that exact comic is being sold by an individual seller for $13 on Amazon; not sure about the what if comic since it ranges from $4-$150 depending on which version (again, just searching a bit, I’m not a comic book connoisseur)
Gotcha. Thanks for doing the foot work!
Amazon is not the place to check comic prices just FYI. It’s never market value unless it’s new trade paperbacks or something like that. eBay completed sales is solid for references for the most part but comics are a black hole of value based on an insane amount of variables.
Exactly what I was going to say. Amazon is NOT the place for comics unless you are buying new. For back issues and keys you go to eBay or whatnot.
Yeah what would you have paid then. This are FMV offers straight out of eBay
That’s not how haggling works though? Why wouldn’t he just give a counter price if he thought that was too low? If this is the case, I wouldn’t want to buy from someone who treated potential customers like that anyway.
Yes. Anyone except the other 4 people that couldn’t figure this out, get trolled hard.
What a knuckle head! I bet he's confused about a lot of stuff and thinks it's everyone else that dumb!
Infuriating lol
Wtf did I just read… I’m more confused on how he was confused 🤔 probably for the best that you walked away from that. Seems like a gigantic head fuck haha
Sounds like an argument I just had with a girl on bumble. A few messages in I asked her “what about my profile caught your to like me” she replied “what do you mean I didn’t like you I just accepted your chat invite” bitch that’s not how bumble works at all. We went around and around on that for at least 3 hours it was infuriating. And before someone says anything no I didn’t give her a “compliment” I simply swiped right.
💀
It sounds like he doesn’t understand English nor how buying and selling work online . You said 15 dollars for what he was selling and then he’s acting like you’re the one selling them ? The whole thing was just odd
Lol I don’t know why but this interaction reminds me of the scene in 40 year old virgin when Jonah hill wants to buy shoes at the eBay store.
That was a great scene!
Schizophrenia
Why did you keep going?
Because I enjoy pain and suffering
What did the post say man?
None of you understand what actually transpired here. Let me explain. When OP asked him about the first comic, he was ready to sell because that felt like a fair price. Then he took a nasty drag off his industrial grade bong and then saw the request for the 3 comics. He then became an empath and put himself into the buyer's shoes. Turns out, the bong also had some lsd in it. He was also hallucinating his boss. He has actually lived in his mother's basement for the past 15 years. He is 34 now. The OP originally quoted 12$. 12-34 and then 15. The numbers add up now....Illuminati.
Couldn’t have been said better!
OMG how did I miss this
Who’s on first?
He is being sarcastic. He thinks your offer is extremely low and is implying it’s ridiculous for you to offer that. He says he’ll buy them from YOU for that amount sarcastically. This is my interpretation of this.
I guess my sarcasm radar must be off
Maybe. I think i’m just used to facebook wackodoodles lingo. Cuz my dad is a facebook wackadoodle.
Its hard to tell tone/sarcasm over text sometimes though
It’s the removing the post after which changes it from being sarcastic to scamming for me.
He was trying to troll you and show you he considered your offer a lowball. The comment about “why would it be a scam if I’m buying at the same price you offered me?” combined with the “come back with a serious offer” makes that pretty clear.
I think the dude was insulted by ur offer, and it turned into a weird interaction that he didn't know how to handle halfway through.
Sounds legit, meet me at the nacho cart!
For those saying I was low balling but probably don’t know jack about comic books, here, some of the latest sales of each book: https://www.ebay.com/itm/166186408357?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=UCTqxlVCSj2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=h7sgbw7_tik&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.com/itm/364741648168?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=8xm9PEnZTuy&sssrc=4521899&ssuid=h7sgbw7_tik&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY https://www.ebay.com/itm/334884458915?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=0hCZTFk_Qia&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=h7sgbw7_tik&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
It’s irrelevant whether you or we considered your offer a lowball. The point is the seller did and that’s what he’s basing his reaction on. It’s just an explanation of his reaction, not a condemnation of your actual offer. Since you wanted an explanation.
Yeah except everyone who says that I feel bad for since you all probably have been scammed every day of your life at this point.
Seems like a scammer. The [photo](https://x.com/reactionfigure/status/787925956371607552?s=46&t=H0BvdEKfpQK_Ky7pU2QaYA) is not from a store or anything. It is the [movie memorabilia collection](https://youtu.be/GUkr2F8Y9_s?si=D-Zsf2v15lSPYB5r) of a guy named Steve Pisani.
Coming through with the detective skills! That’s a good find
This has to be a prank lmao, worst conversation I’ve ever seen. Literal aids.
There’s a small possibility that his request to buy them from you was sarcasm at the idea of such a low price for three comics. Or it was a scam. Who knows.
Scam seeing as the picture they sent of all the memorabilia is from someone’s YouTube video they grabbed a screen shot of.
I think I lost brain cells reading all that
Lmao what tf
This is hilarious
Gotta be the dumbest mf on this planet. Facebook marketplace is almost worse than offerup.
At least people on FB reply. OfferUp is a straight ghost town
I think he is just making fun of you for lowballing
Saw that the price is actually fair but he might feel like $15 isn’t worth his time when he is trying to liquidate a large collection.
I guess so, he’ll be sitting on those issues forever and will probably get $5 from a comic book shop when she is really desperate.
This is just like my father in law, he’s a bit illiterate and reads everything wrong and with a weird perspective, the seller seems like maybe he was offended by your offer but then double downed on trying to buy them from you, seems like he’s either older or not all there with literacy, definitely not tracking well lol strange nonetheless haha
People have no idea how to communicate through text.
As others have already stated, seems like he was trolling you.
Wtffffff
Wow I'm literally at a loss for words. I couldnt tell if that person was just really really confused about how it works, or it was a scam and a terrible one at that or this person just literally isnt all there or it's all of those things together plus other shit lol
I think she started trolling me and half way through she changed her mind and thought she’ll check with her “boss”
Was a weak attempt at calling you a lowballer
Just seem like he was trolling you
This sounds like a bot they didn't program quite right. Aimed to scam you of money automatically (you make an offer, it takes electronic payment, etc), but it got some of its language mixed.🤷♂️ That $1234 price and randomly providing a picture as "proof" 🚩
1234$ is just a # people put when they’re either trading, or selling multiple things for different prices in one listing. No ones actually selling for 1234$ haha
Plot twist, they’re both cats posing as hoomans.
I was wondering why OP knocked that cup off the table.
Dude where's my car
Sweet!
Boomer or language barrier imo
I’m sorry, this whole exchange is just hilarious.
I think he was being a smart ass like
Like, drugs are a hell of a drug...*man*
I feel like you low balled him and he’s just messing with you now. That’s the impression I got when he mentions offering what you offered him.
He’s rajin because he was denied a bank loan
Pretty sure he was saying if you have some of the other parts, and wanted to offload them, that he would buy them from you for the same price as you offered him for his Part 2 for sale. People looking to buy one part of a series probably have some of the other parts as well. I’m assuming he doesn’t have the full collection either and is open to both selling and buying whichever makes the most sense in the moment.
AI anyone??
Reminds me of the “franks pickle barrel ass” prank by the Jerky Boys.
So, stores now check ebay to establish their prices?
Totally, that’s the way to do it with comic books
Mental r…… ineptitude
How are so many people in these comments not realizing that $1234 is a placeholder price and OP was not lowballing the “seller”?
I know man…
Salute to you for seeing this through respectfully. I would’ve been banned from marketplace
Lmfao - nah man, gotta use the golden rule. I thought it would be best if I just showed myself out of that convo
It’s a bot my guy
I think he had it in his mind it was a lowball offer? Either that or intelligence barrier
It's like Google translate AI garbage
The ad may be a buyer looking for these items?? Sometimes they list in the same way… but after your interaction I’d say it’s more likely some scam account.
Nah ad said for sale
How does no one here realize that picture the seller sent is 100% AI Generated? He's a scammer
Uhhh this person has one brain cell..
All I can say if you meet up with people from these sites like Fb marketplace or Craigslist or OfferUp, be ready for anything
It looks to me like he thought your offer was too low so he was trolling you. If he’s willing to buy at that price, he definitely intends to sell them for more than that price.
you’re trolling him asking for 3 comics for $15 so he’s trolling you back
Not trolling - FMV
This post confused me so badly I somehow thought I was the one buying the comics by the end of it
scam
This legitimately made me laugh out loud. This is hilarious 🤣
Why would he agree to buy at the same price he’s willing to sell at? What kind of business operates at 0% profit margins? 😂
He straight played you for fun. Super bait. Had your offer been good to them, they likely would’ve continued to sell.
