I was upset, and gave a neutral for not refunding the cgc money. He contacted me, offered to pay all or half for revision and I revised the feedback ...I did revise the feedback, but I didn't take the money he offered. End of story...
there's a CGC 9.0 of this book in sparklecitycomics auctions ending today on eBay

Robojo is the reason I found the board.
I was looking at his listings(with those terrible photos) and was beyond skeptical. Way too good to be true. I searched his name on google and stumbled on the CGC forum.
I was right. He's a person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed.

Luckily I have never bought from robojo, although I was tempted to bid several times. That is until I came across the many threads on these boards. Temptation removed since then. I will never ever consider buying from him no matter how sweet the gamble might seem. There is always at least one bullet in the gun for Russian Roulette! With Robo Roulette, however, sometimes every chamber has a bullet!

I realized after I joined the boards that in the past I had bought from Robojo33 and I was concerned, however it turns out I bought two CGC'ed comics from Robojo33. Then I thought maybe the comics which appear in their respective CGC wells are really holograms. I guess I am thankful, no raw books from Robojo33.
But I do wonder how in the heck Robojo33 maintains a 100% feedback rating with such apparent controversy.

His M.O. is to always give refunds if requested, so then the buyer doesn't feel like they should neg him. He's been doing this for years, but he had to change tactics a bit when Ebay said sellers can't have private feedback. That's why the "comic-keys" ID got shut down the day the changes went into effect.
