Could be shilling, but My suspicion is FOMO, as supply is not there at the moment. I suspect shops that do get this book will have them on the wall at the eBay price day 1, then when no one bites and a few copies show up on eBay undercutting what’s there, it will cause a free-fall effect as everyone looks to dump what they have to get maximum dollar before it bottoms out back at ratio…or less.
You’re posting “sales” from an eBay seller who somehow every week sells incentive variants at multiples of what other copies are currently listed for. Highly suspect of Shilling and attempting to manipulate the market.
As an aside… I bought a comic from this dude. He advertised it as NM++
LOL… I couldn’t resist.
Anyway, it arrived with some significant spine ticks so I messaged him and he said he would replace it. After a week of no activity, I asked him the status and said he couldn’t find the replacement copy, so he offered a refund. After 2 weeks of no refund, I messaged him again and he refunded me. Maybe he relies on a certain percentage of buyers not following up on this kind of stuff?
