I hardly ever go outside the auctions, but maybe I should try offers on bins?

How do you know what my criteria is?

Not sure if you know what that is? For what I collect, the deals have been better on eBay. I think that could be from an over-all downturn in the marketplace. I disagree with your assertion that it is more of a 'gamble dealing with eBay sellers. Know who you are dealing with in either marketplace and you avoid the problems. What eBay offers is a real 'market price' when buying by auction. I suspect things will get better here over time, so I keep looking. So far though I have redirected most of my funds towards other venues.

Yep, nothing but over-priced books on the boards lately. Much better deals on eBay. Have not bought anything here since the change-over. Keep looking, but not much to see here.

Nice looking copy of one of my favorite covers

Wasn't it reprinted in an issue of Marvel Tales and referred to there as first appearance?

Hopefully Ricardo Medina Jr is back. I hear he was just killing it.

And that is the kind of thinking that made Ewert get away with what he did. A touch of skepticism is always a good idea, unless one is a dealer pumping wares.

And this same authority claims to have no way of determining whether a book was under a stack of books or pressed. And yet there are boardies who can clearly detect a pressed book. Oh the arrogance.

Where is 'sun fade' ever noted on a label? Not aware of those notes.

I am not selling anything. No dog in this fight. It is a sun fade.

Nothing like a high asking price with 'best offer' to weed out the problem children. I have rejected higher offers based on a toolhaus search. Rather sell for a lower offer without the headaches.

A fairly common technique back in the day. Suspended by clothes pins with both sides exposed to the light. Of course all the dealer types line up here to protect their BS, but for realz this is a bad sun fade. Continue to peddle your damaged books as you please but not everyone is so gullible to buy this.

Nope Nice try, Best of luck with the sale

A sun fade is NOT a variant. Rather have a better looking book if I had that kind of money. If this sells for a premium as an 'error', then I have short box drek that is about to get a tan.

Haven't bought many pre hero books lately, so I was super excited to go outside the Bronze age and add these low graders to the #1 collection.

High grade square bound books

+1 4.0

The #170 is tied for highest, I now have 2 of the 4 in 9.4, but this one is white pages (upgrade from OW-White)

I was most pleased with this submission. All these books were better than advertised and far exceeded my expectations. Of course keeping with my track record with CGC, the label on the SW #1 completely missed that it is a variant. Of course kudos to Joe for pushing these books beyond my expectations

Why would there be any incentive to buy here? When scanning the GA/SA/Bronze area I often see prices here as over-GPA on raw books. Sellers can certainly ask what they want, but the books I look for are cheaper on eBay. After a while it seems like my time would be better spent on other venues. Certainly see it as a great place to sell. More profit to be sure. But if I can buy on eBay at 10% off and eBay bucks plus with the ability to return things without any problems, then there is no incentive to buy here. I am just one buyer, but when things close here and open on eBay at lower prices, it seems like a waste of time to me.

I can't speak about selling since I rarely ever do that. But my buying has all but stopped, I have bought a single book since the switch. Not that my activity ever meant a thing, so I guess things are the same less a couple of buyers.

yes

This one blows. suffered through 7 episodes of bad acting, worse special effects and a story that could have been told in a half hour Night Gallery episode. I quit mid episode 8. (((( yawn )))
