  1. Added to my blocked bidder list, thanks! It's hard to know now with new eBay rules which eBay bidders are troublemakers, sellers cannot leave negative, nor even false negatives anymore, and buyers can neg you even if you cancel a transaction. If you start a non-paying bidders claim, best that will happen is that the buyer will get a strike (but nobody will know). Worst that can happen is that he decides to pay in order to avoid the strike and give you trouble once you send the book. I had three non-paying eBay buyers in the past two weeks, more than I had in the last few years. One never answered my messages and finally got a strike (but it was a cheap book), two others wanted to cancel the transaction on two expensive items. All three have a feedback rating lower than 20 Anyone thinks that a list of eBay bad bidders should be provided here on these boards in other to warn each other ?
  2. Probably the best 8.5 I have ever seen from CGC. A perfect example of "Buy the book, not the label". Moreover, an Old label
  3. Here is my 2nd copy of FC #596. Still undecided if I should keep this one or the raw copy
  4. Ahhh Gerry Ross, so many souvenirs... I remember 20 years ago, when I was a kid and began collecting, I bought a few "Mint" Barry Smith's Conans through his mail order catalog. This was my first major comic book purchase and I used most of my summer student's job salary to pay for the items. The books were rather VG than Mint and when I did complain, he said: "sorry, it was a mistake, return the books and I will send you replacement copies in better condition, in true Mint this time" Well, believe it or not, but the "replacement" copies he finally sent me were the same damn copies I did return the first time, but this time they were restored and trimmed to hide the defects !!!!... I was just a teen-ager and I had to go to small claims court as last resort to get my money back but I won. Also, I remember he used to have John Byrne in his store to sign comics for the cost of $10 per signature....not the real John Byrne (artist) that we all know, of course...
