Not to cause any problems but why is this sales thread even allowed? The books are not in hand, they are being sold by another party (?), some have prices, others don't and most of the sales are done in private. Just wondering...

 

http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3668120&fpart=1

 

 

As far as I can tell, he hasn't actually broken any of the Forum rules other than neglecting to price a few books until it's pointed out to him. But that happens occasionally with long-time sellers too...

 

There are a lot of sellers around here who pre-sell books that aren't in hand but are on their way back from the CGC. As long as that fact is disclosed, it's never been a problem in the past.

 

The sales via a third party is actually the smartest move he made. Using an established dealer as an escrow agent to handle the money and books is the only way I'd even consider buying a valuable book from a complete unknown. As far as I can tell, we have no rules against that.

 

And PM sales are incredibly common around here. If I had $1 for every time I've seen "Book XYZ sold by PM" posted, I'd be a rich man.

 

That being said, the thread is definitely a complete mess. I think the seller would have benefited from taking a day or two to study some other sales threads to see how things are usually done around here.

 

My

I concur with MOST of what you say BUT I have never understood selling books that are " on their way back from CGC" You mean that the "flipper" needs money that bad that they can wait till they have the book or books in their possesion?

'paypal today only'? I just dont get it..Guess Im not too bright but if these books were mine I would have got them all in hand then had a huge sales thread with scans and pricing on each book instead of this cluster bleep his thread has become."more on the way" ASM blah blah blah..talk about your un orginized thread.AND if this noob was using a board member as a reference or a third party dont they know how to do things the right way?As the above poster said he would have benefitted from seeing what goes on here and how we do things before jumping in with this feked up sales thread that is impossible to follow... and who knows whats sold,on hold etc. Granted..he may not be tecnically breaking any rules BUT JEEZ What a mess!

Everyone is going nuts over this guys books.As a previous poster said if these were 5 dollar books this guy would be getting flamed BIG TIME.

I just hope for the boards sake that this isnt some kind of a scam or something.Or people dont get ripped off somehow BUT ill stay clear of anyones sales like the Paypal today only " pricing etc.?? Why the big hurry to collect all this cash before you have the books in your possesion? You need the cash that bad or..........

In my first sales thread I was selling a 100 dollar book and I was asked for virtually everything but my first born child before I .

could make this sale.BUT this guy comes on here selling books in the 5 k range and if you ask questions or address concerns in the thread you get lambasted..

There are big double standards and you are only questioned or scrutinized depending on how good your wares and prices are..If you are a NEW user and have high end stuff at cheap prices look out!! feeding frenzy begins.If you have OK stuff at market price Go somewhere else as youll be ripped up and down .

He keeps listing books with no prices,pulling books .off to CGC ..A lot of poor form by this noob is being ignored due to the feeding frenzy going on..

Just got my grades back on a couple nice books that I wil be posting once they are in hand.1 week or so I expect them back.

Green Lantern #76 7.5 OW/White pages $600

Green Lantern # 29 First Black hand 9.0 OW/W pages Looking for 275.00 on that one

Ill be posting scans in the Silver age section once they are in hand BUT if anyone may be interested before that pm me.If not please keep your eyes on the for sale section in the next 10 days or so.

Also scored a GL76 9.2 :cloud9:Thats a keeper

Hot books for sure!

Even though I am still unemployed I have SOME standards.

Is this the list advocating friendship, loyalty,honesty and respect as much more important than the almighty dollar or the bottom line ? Then count me in... (thumbs u

 

I'd also never buy from anyone on the probation list. Never! No matter what the book was or how great a deal he gave.

 

We all have to be strict about this - it kinda beats the purpose otherwise.

Im in..

 

I told you where I live Adam/Filter81, so let's go! and you're side kick Count. Anyone who comes on the boards with a sn like that or is dumb enough to sell 85 HG ASM for a 6.0 extensive sp Batman #1 6.0 needs help.

 

I even was civil enough to tell him in a nice way to back off instead he told me to f u k off. I'm sure this person wouldn't have the guts to say that to anyone in person, Especially anyone named Nelson.

bucone sees this in the mirror every day! Why waste your breath on this insufficiently_thoughtful_person..Internet tough guy :blahblah:

Hey do you have any Pics of the previous 10100101552 experiments??

Kudos to JerryZ for an IM & SM as well as a nice early Batman (thumbs u

THANK YOU for the quick payment as well Sir (thumbs u

Delivery Confirmation doesn't really say anything. It means it made it to the doorstep but that doesn't mean it was received. My mailman leaves packages on my porch all the time.

 

UPS just left a 32" LCD tv and Blu-Ray player on my porch without actually seeing if I was home.

 

 

That's what you get for not ordering at least a 40+" LCD.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plasma ..Im sure no one wanted to steal that LCD anyways

Also UPS has certain areas that are considered high risk or high theft areas where they will never leave a package on the doorstep/You obviously live in a nice area .if you lived in the ghetto that TV wont be left out like that

I think this is a possible "I got the book and it doesn't have tracking on it, so he can't prove he shipped it. Lets see if I can get my money back AND keep the comic" scam!!!!

 

I have shown proof I shipped the book. Not a lot more I can do than that......

Pretty ballsy accusation my friend ,,I dont know why you would send ANYTHING without del confirmation ..Cheap way to get piece of mind on deals..

If this was a paypal dispute you lose..PERIOD end of story.Its a drag when this kinda stuff happens.Not saying your lying or anything of the sort but look at the buyers point of view.How does he know you didnt send a box with something else in it to a McDonalds in his city.

I had a guy once on Ebay a few years back send me a football card.Or say he sent it.It never shows up..I file a paypal dispute..I get tracking info a few days later with a envelope with a total common card in it.I lost 300 bux that way

Always best to get del confirmation.May be an expensive lesson learned Trey.not taking anyones side.I wasnt involved but pay the 35 cents for piece of mind.

No comment on the obvious delay in receipt, but tell me this . . . you shipped a $90 book via First-Class? 7.9 Ounces? What did you use a manilla envelope and two backing boards? And with what looks like no delivery confirmation! WTF is this place coming to? How cheap can you be?

 

 

I sent it in a cardboard box with a piece of cardboard on each side and peanuts on each side. And 7.9 oz is half a pound.

 

The no tracking is my fault. I ran out of tickets and forgot to add it at the po.

 

And after the transaction is complete, why keep the PM's? You know how many pages of PM's I would have?

 

And I STILL have not heard from the other party.

Lets see here. If the guy never got the book how would you call that a "complete" transaction

BIG kudos to c-mack for a nice lot of PS3 games at a great price Thanks very much!

Nice books

You had a AF15 autographed??? 6.5 20k + book and you had it signed

 

He probably turned it into a $25K book with that Stan Lee autograph.

To each his own I guess .Well with such great pictures its hard to tell what label color it is.Purple I could see .. but Universal blue YIKES

Nice book though either way..I was just making a point IMO If i even had an AF15 i wouldnt want it signed..Call me

Nice books

You had a AF15 autographed??? 6.5 20k + book and you had it signed

Kudos to JerryZ for the fast shipping and awesome packaging on the issue of FF I bought from him.

 

Back at ya buddy for the fast pay..Enjoy the book! (thumbs u

Uh Oh!!

Gav is crossing over to the

And getting along with MCPU?? You feelin OK buddy??

Np, the reason I asked is I noticed the longer something has been on a comic, the more work it takes to get it out. On experiment 101101501 the last book I pressed was already flat and didn’t cockle when it was done. I am beginning to think the cockling is due to the book being so messed up to begin with and I am not completely pressing all the pages right. Its slow going but I will post more pics soon.

Experiment 101101501?? Geez man how many books have you ruined?

LAUREN....AN APOLOGY? NOT ON YOUR LIFE! NOT THAT WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FACTS, BUT......YOUR DAD IS AN ! I HAVE SOLD HIM MANY...MANY BOOKS. ALL OF WHICH WERE VERY WELL PRICED ,AND SINCE THEY WERE ALL CGC'D BOOKS THE SLABING COST NEVER CAME INTO PLAY. THERE WERE MANY TIMES WHEN HE SAID THE $ WOULD BE SENT BY PAYPAL ON A CERTAIN DAY & THAT NEVER HAPPENED. ON THIS DEAL THAT YOU SO RIGHTIOUSLY HAVE COME TO YOUR FATHER'S RESCUE...EVEN THOUGH IT SEEMS HE CAME CRYING TO YOU LIKE A BABY......SO SORRY HE IS UPSET........BUT TELL HIM TO GROW A PAIR!

I TOLD HIM ABOUT A NEW BUNCH OF UN-SLABED AMAZING SPIDER-MAN'S THAT I AQUIRED, AND AS ALWAYS I OFFERED THEM TO HIM FIRST....HE SENT ME A LIST OF THE #'S HE WANTED, AND WE AGREED THAT I WOULD SEND THEM TO CGC TO BE GRADED, AND WHEN I RECEIVED THEM I WOULD LET HIM KNOW GRADE/PAGE QUALITY, AND PRICE...AND HE TOLD ME TO COUNT ON HIM TO BUY ALL THOSE ISSUES HE NEEDED...AND SO I DID JUST THAT. AS CGC HAS BEEN RUNNING LATE ON ALOT OF STUFF...I GOT THEM IN YESTERDAY, AND SENT THE ENTIRE LIST TO YOUR FATHER TO AGAIN ASK HIM TO LET ME KNOW WHICH ISSUES HE WANTED.........HE TOLD ME HE WAS "NO LONGER COLLECTING SPIDER-MAN'S" AND THANKED ME FOR THINKING OF HIM??? GIVE ME A BREAK!

BEING QUITE SHOCKED I TOLD HIM HE NEEDED TO KEEP HIS END OF THE DEAL...AS I HAD ONLY SENT THEM OUT DUE TO HIS REQUEST....AND THAT I HAD SPENT A GOOD DEAL OF MONEY TO DO SO.........HE MUST HAVE BEEN KNOCKED ON A HEAD A FEW TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS BECAUSE HE CONVENIENTLY FORGOT EVER HAVING SAID ANY OF THOSE THINGS TO ME.......SO NOW I HAVE TO GO ELSEWHERE TO SELL THESE.......SO AS FAR AS HIS FEELINGS...OR YOUR FEELINGS FOR THAT MATTER....I DONT GIVE A RATS ABOUT THEM...AND I STICK WITH WHAT I SAID BEFORE......HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF.....AND NOW SO SHOULD YOU FOR BEING SUCH A TATTLE TAIL...WHEN YOU NOT ONLY DONT KNOW THE FACTS...BUT IT SEEMS YOUR FROM YOU ELBOW AS WELL......

YOU SIR should be ashamed of YOURSELF! So you told him about a bunch of "un-slabed" spideys..Hes not obligated to buy them.Get over it man!

Sell the Spideys to someone else and move on..Not like your stuck with 20 copies of Turok#1 or something.

BTW :gossip:SLABBED not SLABED and the CAPS LOCK IS just as annoying as your rambling.

What a WINDBAG!!!

If that is the case, then he owes your dad a huge apology. Call the spoon I say!

Who is the guy? Whats his board ID if he has one?

Also your Dad stated in his email he got" Old labels" instead of new..Is this a bad thing? Not IMO its not.

 

He prefers the new ones, so he likes to know. Just a personal preference.

Gotcha (thumbs u

If your Dad agreed to buy the books then I can see his frustration, but its obvious from what you have posted your Dad did NOT agree to buy these so if it was me I would just ignore this seller.Hes a clown..

AND the seller stated that they graded high..So whats the beef with your dad? Just sell em to someone else ....ASM hi grade is money in the bank.Not like he got stuck with a bunch of graded drek or something GEEZ.

Also your Dad stated in his email he got" Old labels" instead of new..Is this a bad thing? Not IMO its not.

BTW is this seller a member of these boards? Id like to know so I can avoid them .Please post their board ID.Would be helpful.Some of you may know but I dont.

BIG KUDOS to Claudio for lightning fast shipping on my 2 Superman GA slabs

Thanks very much..

Big Kudos to genrlzod for a nice Green lantern 29 packaged well and shipped FAST! (thumbs u
