Looks like the rules have changed and you can now open a non paying bidder dispute after just 2 days. If you don't receive payment, you can open an unpaid item case in the Resolution Center as soon as 2 full days (48 hours) after the listing ends. For example, if the listing ends on October 5 at 11:15 am, you can open a case on October 7 at 11:15 am. That is crazy. I guess I am stuck in 1999. With those parachute pants you are wearing I'd dial that back another decade. Chess King parachute pants, an Alexander Julian sweater and a Member's Only jacket. Keepin' 1985 alive.

Because some people don't sit around waiting for comic book auctions to end? I guess the next time I have a bid on an item that ends at 2 am, I need to set my alarm so that I can get up and paypal it. Lord knows it can't wait until morning, or *gasp* the afternoon? That's crazy talk. I'm pretty sure that is Oakman's point. If an auction ends at an inconvenient time on any given day, check it the next day and, if you won, pay for it. It's business. You "started it" by bidding. No need to let it sit. Right, but by some sellers' logic, you are going to get five invoices in that 19 hours between when the auction ends and when you pay for it. There has to be some happy medium between unreasonable delay and seller freak-out. I do agree that the online payment systems and smart phones have made it much easier to pay on the fly. There is much less excuse for a 3-4 day delay. I just remember the days when people were mailing checks and money orders for Ebay stuff.

It takes a village for a book like that.

It is your old blue label

I just slobbered over a rule violating book! I feel so dirty!

Because they want to block you.

I had a Boardie send me a demand to be paid within 24 hours of an Ebay auction. I thought it was rude and stupid. His explanation was even ruder and stupider. Not a big deal, but some buyers will decide never to do business with folks that engage in those types of tactics. I don't see how the possible benefit outweighs the possible detriment.

That book is killer!!!

So, I asked for a link to his ebay profile and he sent me this: http://www.ebay.com/usr/havajoe54?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2754 That was the last contact I had with him..I informed him I had sent him a message on eBay and he could please reply to it with his CGC board username. He has read my message here on the boards, but did not reply here or on eBay and I have not heard from him again. Very shady..glad I didn't send him my money. I messaged this guy again and opened a paypal dispute. I hope for the best, but am prepared for the worst. I also found this with a quick google search of his name and address. The seller is in Tolleson and the name and address match. Link Anyone that does get books, I would be prepared for NM- to look like 7.5s. Good luck everyone, but I have a bad feeling about this one . . .

That is fantastic!

Not only that, but probably one of the stupidest things I've seen on here, and that is a high bar. When CGC sees books getting cracked out, they are not insulted, they are thinking cha-Ching. A huge part of their marketing is getting people to crack and resub books. A book can't get resubbed if it isn't cracked. So complete logic fail plus threadcrap equals douchebagatron.

When you post about fathers, I get nervous. My dad, much more so.

Lying.

I don't think it is cut and dried either way. If you analogize to a supermarket purchase, as soon as one person (potential buyer) puts an item back, any person should be able to pick it up and buy it under the same terms. That makes it look like Tuffy should get it. If you analogize it to some types of business deals, the item often cannot be marketed or sold while the offer is pending, and only after the offer is rejected can a new offer be tendered or accepted. In that instance, Tuffy's provisional "I'll Take It" would have no effect and Comeaux gets it. Fortunately, for those involved, cooler heads have prevailed. Going forward, best practices would be to either remove or expressly allow provisional "I'll Take It" in the Terms & Conditions of each sales thread.

Thanks! I am excited for the Sebastian Stan Cap 6s to come back from Philly!

I think we got them from Todd Casares, but I am not positive.

No special heat right now. Man Who Laughs has been a $25-$50 book for years now. The time to sell was a few years ago, before the hardcover reprint came out. This is exactly right. JJ and I bought 6 or 8 copies for a signing with Doug Mahnke back in '08 or '09, right before the Hardback got released, I think we paid $30-40 a piece and it was a good deal for 9.8 copies. http://www.myslabbedcomics.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=8854&GSub=628

I'm just a guy, with a very good reputation on the boards and in the hobby in general. The non condescending type who can actually grade a book. Don't worry about me though, I'm not the issue here. A half dozen people have already said the book ain't even close to a 9.8 and this has been a very enlightening excerise. :thumbsup: Jim Your raw 9.8s are 9.8s. Now, the hamster bedding that comes in the package is another story.

I think I am going to have to pm myself a list of names of people not to deal with and why so I can remember things like this. Thanks for the post. There are so many that I just put them on ignore. Sometimes in modern threads, there will be entire pages where I don't see anything . . .
