There is, but I believe you have to have a store to do that. No, at least for me, I just have a box to check in my regular selling format page that says "Require immediate payment by PayPal if BIN is used." -slym

Not if they are packed correctly. Which I am going to assume they aren't. A tight cardboard "sandwich" will restrict lateral movement in the bag. That's how I do it (& I use SA-sized bags & boards) and I think that's how everyone should pack their comics. Of course, to prove me wrong, I just got an eBay win in today, comic was in a B&B, and then slid into a photo/document mailer. That's it. Somehow, it arrived damage-free, but I consider such things to be the exception, not the rule. Photo Mailer. Don't people know that Priority boxes and envelopes make the greatest comic reinforcements and they are free? Well, the auction had 1st Class shipping as the only option for postage. But I can get two comics (maybe three) in between two pieces of corrugated cardboard or plastic & wrapped with bubble-wrap into a manila envelope and still keep it at or under 13 ounces. Hell, I'd have liked to see at least the cardboard "sandwich" for a $40 book. Nope, no protection other than the mailer, and it wasn't even insured. Anyone that wants this seller's name, feel free to PM me. I am certainly not buying anything from him again. -slym

IKR?? -slym

Yes. -slym

So much for "$8.50 flat shipping." What makes that more of a slap in the face is that everyone got charged $8.50 for shipping, I expected Priority Mail, but the email I got saying he's shipped mine out say they are arriving via Media Mail. So, not only is he profiting off of shipping, but he isn't turning any of that profit over to help out people who bought a lot of copies and applying that towards their shipping. :doh: -slym

That's it. I got one as well. My only bit of trepidation - Media Mail. -slym

OK, my "problem" with this episode - the Ogre calls Gordon after they invade his apartment. He says something like "Oh, was that you that tripped the alarm?" Now, what kind of alarm system does he have, and what kind of car does he own, that when the police trip his alarm, he already crossing a bridge at the north end of the city, heading upstate? It did not make sense. Now, not a problem, just me thinking what I'd do in this situation - as soon as the Ogre handed Barbara that glass of "water", were it me, I'd have broken the glass and slit his throat with a shard of it. A nice bonus was not seeing Fish Mooney at all! -slym

El Oh El -slym

My bad - I was going by what I had previously read here. -slym

The book has apparently already been re-listed. -slym

Thanks for the info - looks like my new mailman won't be able to bend this to get it in my mailbox! -slym

Just checked DC's website, it comes out Wednesday. That is one UGLY cover! Thank you! *EDIT* $5 for this sumperson_without_enough_empathy? Oy vey... -slym

How were they packaged, and with whom were they shipped? -slym

So, this Batman book is coming out on a Tuesday instead of a Wednesday? Someone else asked this elsewhere but I am repeating it here. :shrug: -slym

Not I. -slym

I'd like to hear more about hot Valiant books. -slym

"Master lists" can be flawed. -slym

Agreed. If that is the way someone appears the first time, that would be the first appearance. I think what is changing is that seems to always have been cameos and 1st appearances but now it seems we can add most valuable appearance which can be a 3rd appearance or even a 2nd print. Agreed! -slym

*ahem* A cameo can be a first appearance! That is all. -slym

Yeah, but in this instance (like another very famous one I am known for calling on), "first full appearance" means only "second appearance." -slym

So, Gambit... Annual #14... #266... has there been some change I should know about? Or is Annual 14 still his first appearance & 266 his first cover? -slym

-slym

x1003 Oh, wait, you've already done that. -slym

I have seen all 13 episodes, & don't really have time to watch them all again, but I am setting up the player in my browser so it is playing them anyway. I hope it helps... -slym
