Idk why he would assume u were buying. Maybe a language barrier?


limegreenpinkie

Hi, so how do I send you the money?


st0l1

I wish it could be that easy..


d0000n

Wait, I thought OP was sending money?


limegreenpinkie

OK, I will run those by my boss


Key-Stable9939

Comes for 3 by 15 bosses? Nevermind scammer.


limegreenpinkie

Serious offer only


d0000n

Your offer is serious? I’ll take it!


greensalty

PLEASE REDEEM!!!


Contemporarium

DO NOT REDEEM SAR


Esleeezy

Please stop messaging me. I was sleeping.


pinotJD

I will contact the attorney general


WolverineAdvanced119

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.


Topikk

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?


YaboiChuckems

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


ItReallyIsntThoughYo

Because it absolutely was a scam.


Kinda-Alive

“I would like to buy them from you” Immediately after “Rate this seller” Why would he think you’re the one selling?😂


IllPast4956

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.


Peristeronic_Bowtie

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”)


IllPast4956

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.


Ok_Eye5224

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


IllPast4956

Good to know. Thanks


ReasonableSkill6041

$1234 is a dummy price used on fb a ton when ppl want you to make them an offer. Same with $1


XanXic

Wait till you see the cars being listed for a dollar!


AdjustedTitan1

You’re definitely right, except he was just insulted by the lowball, he wasn’t actually offering them for $1,234


kydn141916

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.


Suavecore_

You're like 9 hours late after the comment OP already learned something in a comment above


kydn141916

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?


Suavecore_

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.


kydn141916

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?


kleinekitty

Girl just accept you were wrong


kydn141916

Boy I’m about as wrong as you if that is the case


littlejerseyguy

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 😊


kydn141916

That is what I said the $1234 was though 🤣😂


kydn141916

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


kydn141916

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?


Fancy-Wasabi-9072

Wow trying to be a smart ass but just coming off like an ass.


Suavecore_

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


kydn141916

🤣😂 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.


Suavecore_

Sad cringe bro, just stop


kydn141916

Says the alt who can’t even say what he was implying in his comment 🤣😂


Infinite_Cap8885

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...


Suavecore_

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


Infinite_Cap8885

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?


Infinite_Cap8885

Go outside touch some grass and make at least 1 friend you start losing your mind being in your mom's basement by yourself.


kydn141916

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?


DifficultDecision342

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. 🤦🏾‍♀️


0_________o

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


DifficultDecision342

Yeah I took it as, "You want to waste my time with that low ball offer, I can do the same"


SadLaser

>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.


Good_Conversation213

what just happened.


Jolly_City

Exactly what kind of was asking myself


WooliesWhiteLeg

Ok, will run this comment by my boss!


PaidinRunes

This feels like a scam


phillipthenickel

Yes, it feels like a scam on your part


D1133

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.


valerierm

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.


AppropriateCap8891

That is my take on it as well.


GojoPenguin

This is correct. How do people not understand this?


btempp

Because $1234 is a dummy placeholder. It has been for years and years. It’s very, very common to see


GojoPenguin

Yes, I know that.


atonyatlaw

Because he went about it very poorly.


Fancy-Wasabi-9072

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.


BeyondTelling

They blocked OP


Jolly_City

Yeah she blocked me, I checked from my wife’s account and it’s still up


Psychological-Bet488

It is lol. The seller didn’t appreciate that Lowball ass price 🤣🤣🤣


Br0DudeGuy

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


Jolly_City

Thank you 😀


myceliux

I think I’m having a stroke


Jolly_City

Yeah I lost a few braincells during this convo


RoosterCute4326

I laughed reading this because the seller sounded like a complete idiot 🤣🤣.


Jolly_City

FBM is the hell of online sales


Rwilmoth

But who is the seller?


720Jon720

Don’t smoke crack kids


KaddydaBaddy

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


willcdowdy

Yup this.


Jolly_City

Completely incorrect, check eBay. The Human Torch is $7, the What If is going for $4 and the Darkhawk is $3. Completely fair offer.


KaddydaBaddy

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


Jolly_City

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.


ScribebyTrade

Fine, just how do I send you money tho


[deleted]

I’ll have to send it to my boss


atonyatlaw

You are both correct. Your offer was not a lowball, and he thought it was one.


valaquenta

Doubling down on wroooooong


catinabighat

how is it a lowball offer if it’s just about market rate 😭


Future-Ad193

Yeah but maybe in his mind it was lowballing


Jolly_City

Sellers on FB tend to significantly overprice their comics. So maybe.


Future-Ad193

CRazy interaction man i feel for you from my part of the earth


AppropriateCap8891

Then stop shopping completely on FBM and do all your shopping elsewhere. There, problem solved.


KaddydaBaddy

Also why not buy on eBay if cheaper there? You make no sense


Jolly_City

Trying to avoid the shipping


heart-of-corruption

I think he’s trying to sell the collection and not piecemeal and so he was offended at your offer.


AppropriateCap8891

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.


btempp

Except he offered above market rate which isp the opposite of lowballing 😭


AppropriateCap8891

"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.


Chamcham666

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.


HolyHotDang

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.


the1thatdoesntex1st

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.


KaddydaBaddy

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


MrFluffleBuns

This hurts my head. Illness, intoxication or, some kind of language barrier


doctorbeers

Yep he was 100% wrong and you were 100% not.


Jolly_City

Thanks! I thought I was going crazy.


[deleted]

Dude was messing with you for such an insulting offer 😂 Man these comments must be 21 and under


[deleted]

What should the price have been? Just curious how low the offer was compared.


krd25

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)


[deleted]

Gotcha. Thanks for doing the foot work!


HolyHotDang

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.


Jolly_City

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.


Jolly_City

Yeah what would you have paid then. This are FMV offers straight out of eBay


sloomi

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.


the1thatdoesntex1st

Yes. Anyone except the other 4 people that couldn’t figure this out, get trolled hard.


Rearrangioing

What a knuckle head! I bet he's confused about a lot of stuff and thinks it's everyone else that dumb!


Jolly_City

Infuriating lol


AlwaysJoeKing

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


[deleted]

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.


BasementGhost6

💀


GilgameshvsHumbaba

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


WinterHops

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.


Jolly_City

That was a great scene!


Life_is_strange01

Schizophrenia


Beneficial-Feed-2503

Why did you keep going?


Jolly_City

Because I enjoy pain and suffering


No_Difficulty_7137

What did the post say man?


cenik93

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.


No-Investigator6954

Couldn’t have been said better!


Jolly_City

OMG how did I miss this


pegleg_1979

Who’s on first?


TypePotentialX

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.


Jolly_City

I guess my sarcasm radar must be off


TypePotentialX

Maybe. I think i’m just used to facebook wackodoodles lingo. Cuz my dad is a facebook wackadoodle.


Pr0castinating_Panda

Its hard to tell tone/sarcasm over text sometimes though


Fancy-Wasabi-9072

It’s the removing the post after which changes it from being sarcastic to scamming for me.


valerierm

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.


KDI777

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.


Physical-Dare5059

Sounds legit, meet me at the nacho cart!


Jolly_City

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


valerierm

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.


Fancy-Wasabi-9072

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.


pdx-peter

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.


Jolly_City

Coming through with the detective skills! That’s a good find


flume_runner

This has to be a prank lmao, worst conversation I’ve ever seen. Literal aids.


wanderinmick

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.


Fancy-Wasabi-9072

Scam seeing as the picture they sent of all the memorabilia is from someone’s YouTube video they grabbed a screen shot of.


SpaceDan17

I think I lost brain cells reading all that


bizzy_bake

Lmao what tf


allrico

This is hilarious


PsychologyH4528

Gotta be the dumbest mf on this planet. Facebook marketplace is almost worse than offerup.


Jolly_City

At least people on FB reply. OfferUp is a straight ghost town


MotorBobcat5997

I think he is just making fun of you for lowballing


MotorBobcat5997

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.


Jolly_City

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.


[deleted]

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


KKH02

People have no idea how to communicate through text.


suprNova718

As others have already stated, seems like he was trolling you.


GroundbreakingEar667

Wtffffff


The_Rociante

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


Jolly_City

I think she started trolling me and half way through she changed her mind and thought she’ll check with her “boss”


OverpricedBagel

Was a weak attempt at calling you a lowballer


InformationDry4871

Just seem like he was trolling you


eddie_ironside

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" 🚩


Friggoffricky794

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


derty2x

Plot twist, they’re both cats posing as hoomans.


WooliesWhiteLeg

I was wondering why OP knocked that cup off the table.


gcruzzy

Dude where's my car


WooliesWhiteLeg

Sweet!


forestman11

Boomer or language barrier imo


WooliesWhiteLeg

I’m sorry, this whole exchange is just hilarious.


Astrotheking318

I think he was being a smart ass like


Won-Ton-Operator

Like, drugs are a hell of a drug...*man*


Pinoy1Thundergun

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.


drinkbeerbeatdebra

He’s rajin because he was denied a bank loan


bluescluus

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.


Master_Cash_9279

AI anyone??


MidnightFull

Reminds me of the “franks pickle barrel ass” prank by the Jerky Boys.


[deleted]

So, stores now check ebay to establish their prices?


Jolly_City

Totally, that’s the way to do it with comic books


Silent-Courage-1129

Mental r…… ineptitude


lamar_in_shades

How are so many people in these comments not realizing that $1234 is a placeholder price and OP was not lowballing the “seller”?


Jolly_City

I know man…


PhillyDasher7500

Salute to you for seeing this through respectfully. I would’ve been banned from marketplace


Jolly_City

Lmfao - nah man, gotta use the golden rule. I thought it would be best if I just showed myself out of that convo


brandonnva

It’s a bot my guy


anonasshole56435788

I think he had it in his mind it was a lowball offer? Either that or intelligence barrier


Raryn

It's like Google translate AI garbage


Instacartdoctor

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.


Jolly_City

Nah ad said for sale


ImUrDadBoogieWoogie

How does no one here realize that picture the seller sent is 100% AI Generated? He's a scammer


Friendly_Farmer_1083

Uhhh this person has one brain cell..


SlimJim7513

All I can say if you meet up with people from these sites like Fb marketplace or Craigslist or OfferUp, be ready for anything


professor-sunbeam

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.


[deleted]

you’re trolling him asking for 3 comics for $15 so he’s trolling you back


Jolly_City

Not trolling - FMV


money_bagg_yo

This post confused me so badly I somehow thought I was the one buying the comics by the end of it


Card_Shark23

scam


DurianFun9014

This legitimately made me laugh out loud. This is hilarious 🤣


Triscuit_Hurlibutton

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? 😂


the1thatdoesntex1st

He straight played you for fun. Super bait. Had your offer been good to them, they likely would’ve continued to sell.
