Ebay Listing For 2006 Superheroes "Error"

Has anyone heard of this error qualifying as such a rarity that it would realize such an absurd ebay asking price? Also read the "Terms and Conditions" section for another shocker!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-sheets-20..._1017wt_1344

These type of listings seem to have become more prevalent in recent months, so I thought I'd post this example.

The auction is so odd I don't know where to start. I think I will end with this quote.




Edit: The poor English isn't "promicing" either.

To tell you the truth, I didn't even read down that far in the listings.

Of course, you are given an offer to "examine" them at a hefty price, too!


.

By the way, I bet the seller didn't even realize that he quoted the wrong date, as this set of stamps was issued in 2006 (not 2005). He's probably looking at the year date on the stamp which is not always accurate to the date of issue.

Oh! that is why its so valuable, it was the early release

my personal favorite..."When you contact me I will give you a personal code which I too will have a copy of. If you do not contact me in person and have the personal code that I have a copy of you'r bidd will not be allowed"
he/she spelled "bid" wrong also
their is just so much of this kind of buffoonery in that huge run-on paragraph that you could pick about anything to laugh at!...

Holy Lipstick, Batman!

I have the same sheet with the same error. Millionaire Bruce Wayne has nothing on me !

It doesn't have a unique Scott catalog number (at least it doesn't in the 2009 edition), so I doubt it's worth anything. And Scott has some pretty obscure stamp errors listed in it. Perhaps he should contact Amos and get it recognized and valued as a true error.

I couldnt help but to sending that seller a question about the stamps here is the message I sent him I will let you know what his reply is lol
Sorry to bother you, I really like to buy those stamps but I dont have enough money to pay what you are looking for I only have $140 in my saving account, But I do get payed on Saturday for my paper route which I will have another $30 so I can give you $170. I really hope you will be able to sell them as I really like those stamps and want to buy them for my big sisters birthday she turns 11 next week and she is a huge fan of super heros and also collects stamps. Thank you Jack

Mendacity is a trait not greatly appreciated by philatelists. I shold advise you to steer clear of such excercises.

Iam a philatelist and I do enjoy a little mendacity

What a joke, $65,000.00 ? While I do see that it is an error sheet it might be worth some good money, but 65K give me a break. Didn't the Bugs Bunny issue have some sheets with shifted Perforations that runs around $500.00 ?

Well here is the reply I got

Perhaps he will take you up on your offer. In the meantime you might actually study a subject long before you comment on it.

I guess I will have to up me offer,,

probably some teenager thinking he/she is sitting on a goldmine....lol

Can you believe that auction has now ended with NO BUYER! The interesting thing I found was that the Seller has a 100% positive feedback record. I wonder how that can be?

I'll be curious to see if the item gets re-listed.

That's insulting to teenagers :)
