That's the reason I put the "don't take no personally" comment in my last sales thread...

That's the key...don't take no personally and as a seller, don't take lowball offers personally. Good call there, Jim

I picked this up, not because of the comic, but because of who signed it.

Joe Simon, one of the original creators of Captain America.

This isn't a big deal....but I'm very curious about how most sellers (and buyers too) view 'offers via PM' for a book or books in your selling threads.

 

From what I can glean from many months of paying attention and participating as a buyer (and a few as a seller) in transactions, it's an accepted form of barter and even an enjoyable part of the process for some. I've been on both ends of these types of transactions, and if a deal is made, great, and if it's not made, then that's fine too.

 

However, I've noticed lately that some sellers will either not respond at all to an offer, or the response is so acerbic that it not only puts me off the book, but the seller as well. Really, a 'I'm looking for a bit more for that book', or an 'I'm firm on the price of this book' are more than acceptable. Better yet, throw that in the first post of your selling thread.

 

Worst of all is when that IS stated in the first post of your selling thread, and when someone PM's you an offer, you blow them off or act like you insulted them in some way.

 

I usually wait to make an offer after a book or books have sat in a thread for a while with no action before making an offer, but that's just me. I like to give a seller time to make his asking price before offering something less....but I realize this is not law or anything.

 

It just seems really weird to me how some react to an offer. Anyone else experience this (without naming names)? Or is it just me? (That would be NOT AT ALL surprising ).

I haven't had any trouble PMing people with offers (blue808, Rich_Henn, and Transplant all come to mind). I can say that I am never offended by a PM. I don't consider any offer insulting and am glad to chat with anybody who makes an offer.

That stinks that you've had trouble with some people. If you'd like a longer list of great boardies that I've PM'd and had no trouble with at all, I'd be happy to send it to you.

For some very fast payments on VCC and post-VCC purchases. Thanks guys, you were all great to deal with.

Kudos to blue808 for two exceptional comics (Capt. Marvel #29-9.8 and Swamp Thing #8-9.6 or better). Bill, you are a credit to these boards and a great guy to work with

Starlin Warlocks and Captain Marvels

As much as I hate to, I think I should mention comicgrinder. He posted a both via PM and on my sales thread for Silver Surfer #6 a week ago. I've PMd him 4 times since his initial PM asking for his address and asking him to please contact me, but so far not a peep.

 

I'm hoping he was able to send a PM but hasn't been able to see ones he has gotten, so maybe he'll see this and get in touch with me. Not ready for probation just yet, but hopefully a mention in this thread will help resolve the issue.

Just a quick update. I was able to get in touch with comicgrinder, and to make a long story short, he made good on his purchase and apologized for losing track of it. He was also not used to the PM system. Thankfully, no probation needed.

Also, KUDOS to Skynwalker for a great bunch of books on the cheap! Great packaging to boot... thanks guy!

Kudos back at you for the quick payment. It was a pleasure doing business with you. (thumbs u

Kudos to ft88 for 4 great bronze/copper comics. Great service and accurately graded. Thanks Ed!

I like the Buscema cover a lot

Yep, I almost expect to see the Hulk land on that car in the background (thumbs u

This thread is just a warning.

It is only a warning. If this were a real emergency it would be followed by directions to get to your closest attic. There you would find multiple copies of Tec 27 that needed protecting. This thread is only a warning.

Just wanted to let everyone know that DiceX called me yesterday out of the blue to imform me that all my stuff had been shipped, and I could expect it as soon as today.

 

If everything arrives safely we can remove him from the probation list.

 

This is very good news indeed. Just hearing from him went a long way.

That's really good news, Kenny. I'm glad to hear there's a happy ending to the whole deal . Hopefully DiceX has turned a corner and is back on his way up.

Friends? What are those?

Kudos to:

Skynwalker for a good trade.

Mr.Schomburg for some BA goodies and freebies.

Nochips for nice DD fillers.

Kudos to GA Collectibles, ernster, Skynwalker and blutobc.

Cap, that was cool of you to include me in the kudo...you're very welcome

I'll go with the motion also, even though I, like Thomas, started posting sales threads within a week or two. However, to make a long story short, I do see the wisdom in having a trial period.

Aye

And being very rusty on parliamentary procedure, I'll second motion 2 (please correct me if I'm out of line )

kudos to pirate for a CGC 9.6 SS Heroes for Hope,

kudos to jonjesper for another siggy, Batman 618, and

kudos to buttock for a great copy of Sword of Sorcery #1

All three communicated well with me and bomb-proofed the goodies. Thanks a bunch, guys...I'd buy from you again any day (and probably will, finances willing ).

Thanks. That was my first batch of GA books

Kudos to Divad for the couple of great Simonson Thors and the freebie.

Fantastic service and great books (thumbs u

Kudos to Skynwalker for a great lot of Fantastic Fours that were priced fairly, shipped quickly, and in great shape! Big thumbs up!

Thanks, Mushie, glad to hear you're happy with them

And might I add kudos to you for the quick payment and smooth transaction.

Big Kudos to joeypost for a couple of excellent WWBNs. They were packaged extremely well and shipped quickly. If anything the comics were better than graded. Thanks a bunch.

I'd like to add Kudos to the CGC board community in general. Everyone I've dealt with has been friendly, helpful, and honest. It's been a great place to chat with fellow collectors and buy/sell. I'm glad to be here.

Kudos to Rich_Nenn for a quick payment.

Kudos to MCMiles for a quick payment also. It was great working with you guys.
