With a name like gonzomethboi , it's not real. It's an alt of a previous user (treejam) who had a beef with someone (gonzo) and treejam (and all his aliases) are known to manipulate price charts by recording fake sales.bapaik wrote:Just curious: How do you know the legitimacy of the sales? I apologize as that sounds sort of pointed, but I'm just curious because on the previous page you said the one sale was for real, and this one isn't. Do you know of the people selling them and stuff?RambosRemodeler wrote:Spoiler alert : It isn't legit.bapaik wrote:I saw that...can that be verified? Who is actually selling it for $80? I'd like to get one for $80...
Again, I apologize, that question as it's worded, sounds like I'm attacking you -- I just genuinely don't know how people can know if sales are reported real on EB, or if it's done to "game" the price.

1. No offense taken.
2. I've been around awhile. It's fairly obvious who's alt that is.
3. It's pretty easy to spot bullshit when there's a highly sought after print with a limited run and has limited availability but some guardian angel records a "sale" for cost or close to it.
4. The other sale I said was legit was sold by a guy who has a stellar reputation as a seller on eBay. The complete opposite of the idiot who recorded the $80 transaction.

Haha, thanks Rambo! I figured by your post-count you would know.
Another n00b question, what's to stop an Ebay-er, even one with a stellar account, from bidding/buying a print themselves to set a price? I guess that's what the people prior to your comment on the first page are implying he did, right?

Yeah, it says 2015. Not sure if they fixed it before it went to print.bozalina wrote:Is it just me, or does the date on the variant look like it says 2015 instead of 2016?
