  1. I agree grading is subjective but knowing who he purhased the book from I don't see it making that big a jump. You can play devil's advocate but this guy hasn't changed much and the only reason he's changed at all is because of these threads and people getting on his arse.
  2. He currently has a JIM #83 F+ listed for $2100 that he purchased as a G+ for $1200. He does mention minor color touch in the description but that's a hefty grade jump.
  3. Giving first shot here at another Spidey sale. This will mainly consist of a mid-grade straight run (fine or better) of ASM starting at 101 and going up until I can't take it anymore. Including 121,122, and 129. I also have a low grade ASM #14 that will be available. 101 - 120 will be listed first (hopefully tonight).
  4. I took a look at some books locally yesterday and since I'm not a big collector of TMNT (sorry) so I thought I'd see if anyone was interested (just trying to help her out). The lady has about half a long box of TMNT books (OO if that makes a difference) including two copies of 2, 3, and 4 (first print 8 - 9 grade range, maybe better). She also had others but I passed. She's not looking to get rid of them, and at what she wanted I didn't think it was worth it for me to try and resale them. Anyways, if anyone's interested send me a pm of what you're looking for and I'll ask if she still has them. BTW, she did have a number one (3rd print). What surprised me was that she's not a collector but made sure she purposely pulled two long boxes of books that did not include many Marvel or DC.
  5. Out them. Sounds like they need to learn the rules.
  6. Wow. $8850 for the ASM collection. I'm guessing it will take a while to make a profit selling those.
  7. It was great doing business with Sam and thanks for the freebies!
  8. I don't know that anyone on the regular PL is banned. Maybe a couple, but not too many. Sorry I wasn't specific. I noticed primeinvestibles was banned in April. Just wondered what the "rules" were.
  9. So what happens when someone on the probation list gets banned? Should they be moved to the HOS list or do they stay on the Probation list forever? The probation list seems to be getting rather long.
  10. The PayPal fee? It also depends on if it is an international transaction or not. 3.9% transaction fee plus a fixed fee based on currency received Fees - gotta have 'em I'm hoping these guys catch on although eventually I'm sure their fees will go up. Me thinks this has gotten a little off topic. DWOLLA
  11. DAMN! Those are some nice mid grades! Florida SUCKS for garage sales or flea markets. If its a GA/SA book, you are VERY lucky if its even a 1.0. Even the BA/CA/moderns are pretty freaking beat from the heat and humidity And the bugs down there love comic books.
  12. You guys don't miss anything.
  13. You've given him ample opportunity to come through and he hasn't. If it were me, I'd send one last PM stating that since he hasn't paid, the book will be relisted. Even if he never reads it, you will still have proof that you've given him more than enough chances to pay. It's simple - put it back up for sale. Also, since he most likely will not get nominated here - who is it? You've been nicey nicey with pms so out him here and maybe he'll finally respond.
  14. Yep. Those lower numbers are a pain to find at a reasonable price and in decent shape.
  15. Since I got back into REALLY collecting several years ago I've been working on an ASM run. It's been really enjoyable to collect all the books I wished I could have had in my younger days. Most of my collection is raw and after recently picking up a mid grade copy of #2 from Dale I'm down to only one which is the most expensive - #1 (my run is currently #2 - 400 with more after up to the current issue). I'm not trying to brag, just saying it's been a lot of fun and hopefully I'll be able to complete it within the next year. BTW, there's some really nice collections here and I never get tired of seeing spidey books.
