Both books are fantastic examples of these issues, but I like this one more for some reason.

Exactly. Maybe I missed a defect when I graded the book. I would prefer if someone said something in my sales thread.....rather than just leave the thread thinking I can't grade. And you learn some good lessons as well if we help each other. I bought a Spectacular Spider-Man that from the front and back cover, it was a 9.2/9.4 copy. When I received the book and opened to the inside, I discovered someone had mistakenly torn the splash page and a chunk was missing. The seller agreed it was a mistake as he never took it out of the bag to examine it, but was going to change that practice going forward. No bad feelings, no nasty experience between us.

But I think where the discussion took this was a good one - if you see some drastic overgrading going on, it should be okay to send a PM and discuss it offline. It would be like folks that seriously overprice their books here, then take them to eBay and get much less. Getting into it with them in the sales thread wouldn't be a good thing, but a PM eases the tension that could occur.

I guess that is the smart thing to do. Just sorry it came to this.

Sorry, was offline all day at a client site, and just caught this. I thought I was the only one getting the message from Capfreak "It's going out now" after weeks of waiting for any update. This is sad, and if this is the second time, he needs to deliver fast to prove his good name. Anyone heard from him?

By request! And Cal, I know you didn't blow the whistle on CAL-Bot. And it's awesome that you can laugh and have fun with this. That's all it is: just good fun. TJ, you are extremely talented. Nicely done! CAL, I know it wasn't you. But, you didn't have to send me the photos of you in a bikini to prove you are real. The PM was kind enough.

Choose your character wisely.

You are wild TJ! Keep it up. (thumbs u

Only when I get them. Then reality will set in.

A huge note of appreciation to curves&comics for a large grouping of fantastic Green Lantern, Batman, and other DC slabs plus a few freebies that knocked me over they were so gorgeous. Thanks MJ for another super transaction!!

That is what made me think it is time enough. As soon as the buyer admitted they were not really going to send payment after promising there was some holdup in the system, any sense of proper etiquette went out the window with that statement. That is called "lying." There's no room for that type behavior if we are going to maintain a fair exchange system. But maybe I've read too many superhero books so my sense of what is right has set the bar way too high.

Can we be friends?

Hold on. Give him a minute. He's unlacing his boots and pulling the socks off now so he can count. Be a little sensitive.

He already backed out of the deal,what's another week going to do? Give him another week to think up an excuse? "Please, give me one more week and I promise to add another week to the discussion. Please?!"

Probation lasts until the person or people who put the person on probation agree to end it. This usually means either a deal which did not go through finally went through, a compromise acceptable to the probationer has been reached, a good reason for why the deal had to fall through was given, or the probationer realizes they made a mistake. So potentially probation can last as long as the boards themselves last, as long as the very Earth that houses these boards lasts, as long as the very galaxy that houses that Earth lasts, as long as the ... So a light toasting is not in order? Come on - a little singe here and there. Promise, it won't hurt. The tribe is ready for this big event.

Look, if the person had been up-front and asked if you were okay with time payments, worked out the details of length-of-time, and then at least provided a down payment as an act of good faith, we wouldn't be having this chat. What this potential buyer did was lead you on for weeks when you could have sold this book already. That is not right, and any normal person would not want to be treated that way. Burn the witch!

Should be used only when you mean it. Or this Not that I meant it towards you David.

Thanks to dwip99 for a super transaction, and making sure everything went smoothly for total satisfaction. I appreciate that Danny!

As usual, much thanks to MCMiles for a fabulous transcation and providing a CGC 9.8 copy of a book I've wanted for some time now. Mike, you set the bar high for yourself in being an outstanding seller, and exceed that standard ever time. Thanks!

Greggy, I am so sorry CGC allowed you to waste good money on having these ratty books encased. If you like, to ease your pain, PM me and I'll take some of these off your hands out of the goodness of my heart. Especially the Captain America/Deathlok issues.

It is, Jason. One of my quarky favorites!

Top man!!! -slym Since nobody knew who the seller was until now, I'll second the statement "Top Man" as once we worked out the slight miscommunication, Danny stepped right up and offered to take the book back. That's a solid seller to me. Thanks Danny. Book is ready for shipment for tomorrow morning.
