So, I got this slab the other day...it's covered in...something. It's really gross:  Share your gross purchases from eBay! (Not the "on purpose" gross purchases, pervs!) |

All of those cloudy areas are some foreign substance.
The seller's response:
"Not sure what you're referring to. I packed it and noticed nothing if there was something I do apologize. You can send it to CGC and for 25.00 you can have it recased. Again I'm sorry something was there not sure what it could be."
I don't want to be rude, but is the guy blind...? How can you not see that crap?

No horror stories for me. I've gotten some stuff that didn't smell too nice but nothing really grody.

How can you not see that crap? He doesn't sell books, just labels. |

I haven't had any disgustingly packaged books from ebay, but I've seen numerous sellers that I would be worried to order from. There was one seller that would hold his books up, kind of like he was hiding behind the book and peeking over the top of the book, while he was shirtless. It was really disturbing and definitely not someone I would buy anything from.

There's one seller of slabs who pictures them with a middle-aged asian woman standing in a hallway next to a staircase.
It's creepy. She's actually leaning her head against the cases in several pictures.
Hey, if middle-aged asian women are your thing, great, but that's just gross in my opinion.

I pass up those auctions as soon as I see her in the picture. I don't know if the seller thinks this woman can help sell the book or if he just thinks she is so hot that people will stop in to take a look. I just think it's weird.

Someone contacted him and told him his wiener was in the shot, and he acted like he didn't know. |
