The eBay BS Game: Questionable items, Stephen King signatures, sellers

[jhanic]

The only reason that I mostly leave this issue alone is in respect of this site and it's owner.

I appreciate respect for the site, but if someone is trying to intimidate a member, then the person and threats should be publicly posted.

I've posted before publicly I can and will sue if these members continue with this nonsense. See previous threads about that. I have done everything I can to show that my autographs are genuine yet I continue to be harassed by these members who are clearly not experts.

When I asked to discuss with John about why he thinks my autographs are not genuine and why he wants to harm my reputation, he said he was busy. John clearly does not want to post anything on this forum, nor does he want to discuss anything about my signatures which I find very odd and troubling.

I simply stated that I did not like many of the signatures you offered. I have never claimed to be an expert on King's autographs, but I know when something seems fishy to me.

Well if I am ever asked if they should buy from you Redsoxfan... I can tell you I will be telling them to stay the hell away. And if you don't like that.... How do you say... So sue me.

John I know you are the last person looking for a fight - but if he would have threatened legal action against me - it wouldn't have stopped at a PM from me.

Some people are just not worth the effort.

Why does it seem fishy? You keep making these generalizations and don't expand upon anything. This is what is so frustrating about Brian and you. You want to call me out, fine, but be ready to back it up or else you are just blowing smoke.

Considering your first time obtaining a King signature, in front of him, was less than 3 months ago, how can your opinion be trusted by anybody? And what do you base that opinion off of?

[bdwyer19]

Authenticity of the signature aside, I would just stay away because of the prices. $599 for a signed Insomnia... $499 for a signed Under the Dome or Rose Madder?!? Who would honestly pay those prices???

Seems to me that the problem you have is the team you root for. Come on over to the "Dark Side" and support the "Yankee's"!!! Trust me, your life will be much improved!!! LOL

27 World Championships is much more satisfying than, what is it three (four) since 1918 (and a 86 years drought to boot)? LOL LOL Even, King is a realist and knows the Sox suck!! LOL

Someone who is uneducated in prices... As well as the signature. He has a signed Salems paperback for 750... That's fair right?

[Merlin1958]

I think everyone needs to stop and take a breath here. We're all adults and can make our own personal decisions on what to buy or not buy. This is beginning to seem a bit personal and an unproductive discussion. Just an observation from the "Peanut Gallery" and definitely JHMO. I do not seek to judge anyone. I mean, like who am I to do so? LOL Just a thought is all. Carry on!!! LOL

Spoiler:

Man, am I getting "mellow and more level headed" since the "medical adventure"??? LOL LOL LOL That would be a "good thing", wouldn't it? LOL LOL

Who are you and what have you done with Bill....

[redsoxfan565]

King is too difficult a signature to give him away for cheap. I've seen this guy a lot over the past 8 years and he is not getting any easier. Most of the books I sell are flat signed with no personalizations, which are tough to come by in many of the older titles. Yes the prices are high, but to factor in how difficult an autograph this guy is right now, and how much time it takes to get him, the price is where it should be.

Thanks

No it is not. Your talking to a collective King community that buys and sells his books EVERYDAY. And your prices are off... way off. No paperback is worth $750 with a sloppy "real" King signature. Sorry... NOT A SOUL here will agree with you.

[divemaster]

It's really not our job to police other people's prices. What's it to you what he lists for? The market is the ultimate gauge anyway. The books will either sell or they won't.

He was replying to my comment thus I replied to his. SO what?

[divemaster]

Of course he replied to your comment. You basically called him an uneducated price-gouger. He responded with a factual, polite reason for his prices. And you double down and hit him again with what is essentially a matter of opinion. Again, I ask, what's it to you what he lists for?

[Br!an]

I don't like this seller. They list things as First Edition in the title. In the description they tell you that the book is without a price on the dustjacket. They then claim it's a "First Export Edition".
