    PROBATION DISCUSSIONS

    in Marketplace Probations

    Posted

    I would like to submit Robert Meadows aka "Bomber-Bob" for the Probation list for not completing agreed upon transaction

     

    The sales thread is here

    http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7391755&fpart=1

     

    Bob contacted me regarding a cash/trade for my JIM 83

     

    Jan 22 - After a little haggling back and forth a deal was struck in PM (not sure if iM allowed to post PM's or not) at which time ended all negotiations with other Boardies

     

    -- The deal was 2 books plus cash for my book. I had to wait for my book to arrive from CGC as stated in my sales thread.

     

    Jan 24 - I received a PM with Bob attempting to alter the deal by keeping one of his books and adding more cash. I denied that change

     

    Jan 26 - I received a PM from Bob asking to alter the deal again. This time he wanted to keep both books and pay my asking price for the book. I said no to that too because the cash/trade deal was (GPA value wise) tilted in my favor as Bob pointed out in our original negotiations.

     

    -- Bob said as a collector he was having a hard time letting go of one of his books and it was up to me me whether I "called him out on the Boards" Yet during the original negotiations, Bob stated that he was actually considering upgrading that book, and it would be easy to replace.

     

    Jan 27 - I PM'd Bob and told him I would be willing to accept his cash offer, as it was obvious he wasn't going to trade his books.

     

    The JIM arrives at my house. I PM's Bob asking where we stand. He said he would like to explore some other trade options. At that point I said we have 2 options...

    1 - The original deal

    2 - full asking price as he offered

     

    Bob called and got grading notes. There is a stain on the bottom back corner which was asked about IN the original thread to which I responded "I think the bottom back corner is just an odd light". The book was at CGC, so I couldn't be 100% sure. Bob said due to that, "Many would consider this to be overgraded"

     

    At that point Bob backed out

     

     

    ANNOUNCEMENT THREAD - post pre-sale announcements

    in Comics Market - Forum Only Selling Area

    Posted

    I just picked up an Original Owner collection from a man in Roenoke Virginia. :banana:

     

    Books were purchased by him in the late 50's to the mid 60's. Almost every Marvel Super Hero title. Also some pre-hero books, and a handful of DC.

     

    He even included a letter to me describing how he used to take the bus to Peter's News Stand on Main Street in Lynchburg, to buy these comics off the rack

     

    petersnews

     

    There is a lot of real nice shape books, but also a lot that have been well read. Im planning on taking my time selling them, but will be offering most of them here to fellow Boardies first.

     

    Im going to start by putting some low grade lots together, and auctioning them here, and Donating the profits to Stand UP 2 Cancer!! I did a raffle last year along with selling a few books, and was able to make a hefty Donation :applause:

     

    Keep an eye out, I should have a few lots up by tonight (1-28)

     

    **Please refrain from emailing and asking if I have certain books. Im sorry, I dont have everything sorted out yet :foryou:
