I would say accidental double list (given it's the same seller) but the description is slightly different... so who knows.

Dear Readers,
The seller has one book in Tracy California and the other in Fremont California.
Caveat emptor.
Best wishes to all!

With just one transaction per year for the last three years, seems a bit odd..... 
(Paypal Buyer Protection will only cover up to $200 on this auction)

Questions

I've messaged/emailed the seller several times about the postings without any answer at all. That is a bit suspect to me. Has anyone else had any success getting any response from the seller?
Local pick up ok?

Dear Readers,
I asked the seller if i may pick up the books since i live close by.
This way i would not pay until i got the books...
Here is the response i got right away:
"Dear gosm,
That would be no problem. It would be nice to meet you. Thanks and good luck.

What?
I was bidding on the first listing.
Does this mean I just got screwed?

How many copies of Albedo #2 exist?
Steve Gallacci says 2000. But your chances of finding one for sale are 1 in 2 billion.
The above was in the Frequently Asked Questions. So, this one seller has two available. I don't know what's out there for counterfeit copies as they are only likely to surface if someone has their copy graded. I hope this is all legit, just makes one a little nervous when plopping down hundreds of dollars...

Actually I was going to say myself having observed the machinations over the last year... if there were only 2000 made, #2 turns up one hell of a lot being sold...tru2gzus wrote:How many copies of Albedo #2 exist?

Red flag
Posted: Fri Aug 15, 2008 21:24 -0700
Yeah, go, everyone except a newb or the naive has probably viewed both pages, but, thanks for making it easier to find.
A big RED FLAG on the auction that Steve listed. It turns out the person selling the comic copied the subject header 'Albedo #2 VF, #3 CGC 8.0, #4 CGC B.5 1st Usagi Yojimbo' from a different auction. They are only selling Albedo #2. She also said it has tape on the binding. She knows little about comics and is just selling it for her autistic son.
