    Again

    Do you KNOW this to be true?

    He came at me with two completely different PM threads on different days like he was two different buyers asking about it, I even told him it was already sold on the later follow up threads where he was still inquiring about it, so that threw me off when two months later he responded to me from that thread where I had stated it was already sold, but I think it was the same account.  

  2. Just look how he described this comic in his ebay sales post!   Pathetic!

    🔑Werewolf by Night 32 🔥 Origin + FIRST App Moon Knight higher grade Never Pressed Guranteed UNRESTORED

     

    Higher Grade unrestored

     

    🔑Werewolf by Night 32 🔥 Origin + FIRST App Moon Knight higher grade Never Pressed Guaranteed UNRESTORED

     

    *****Look in my mind the highest this could grade is a 9.0 in my perfect world a 9,2. In my mind the 9.2 is a small chance.

     

    Official Grade

    VF+++ 8.5 or Higher

    I'm hoping the person I purchased this comic from don't see this, but I would have paid another $1500 for the comic and sent it directly to CGC . Seriously if I'm into a comic low enough BOOM auction (qty/more comics sold) that in the ends meets are exceeds maximizing profit ie grading but for me that all depends how much Into it I am

     

    I am betting my immediate offer and not the usual trying to trade with me getting a 30% kicker I try to get would  have tipped my hand  But then again I am not sure if we traded before  so maybe not lol I would really hate to  tip my hat, but this aint a sales pitch, this is my opinion, my

    prospective,  that's how I feel about his copy.

  3. So when he said he could cancel his ebay sale and send the book back to me as he was "worried something was wrong with the lower left spine", take a look side by side from when I posted the book and later after he touched up the spine slightly and posted it on ebay.  Looks like he added micro color touch to minimize the lower 3 spine ticks.  So he wanted to make slightly more than his ebay sale by instead returning the book to me, stick me with a now slightly restored book in place of my unrestored book I sent him and when I gave him push back on the return unless he sent it to CGC and once I requested scans to prove he didn't tamper with the book, he ghosted me and followed through with the ebay sale getting good feedback from a unsuspecting buyer that will someday find out it now has slight color touch when they send it into CGC.  Being mad at me, he is still pushing this fraud paypal dispute to try and get $2,425 back from me, which if they rule in his favor will probably get me an empty box in the mail while stealing my money ($2,425)!

    I missed this in the OP!

    So Mdean actually sold the book at auction on ebay? It's gone, yet, he's still opening a PP claim to request a refund?

    I think this is HOS worthy.  He has a PP claim for an item that he can't return.  

    He can't claim that he felt the book was restored or not fairly represented,  because he guaranteed the book was unrestored in his auction...  he also graded the book much higher at his auction and bragged about getting one over on the person he bought it from. 

    This seems pretty indefensible to me. 

     

     

    Not only this but he would not send me new scans and stopped communicating with me when I requested them!  Look at the lower left spine compared to my scan, it sure looks like he tried to color touch 3 of the lower spine ticks!  That is why he told me he was worried it may be restored in the lower left, he did it himself!  :pullhair:

  5. I would like to report fraud/deceit from a board member that purchased a book from me 2 months ago for $2,425.  Werewolf by Night 32 raw 7.5 which he agreed looked better than described which was why he purchased it to get it graded and make a sizable margin due to my discount for being raw from an original owner collection I had just purchased.  He was happy with the book, but nearly 2 month later after JUST BARELY unsuccessfully trying to sell it on ebay (per his own words below) still raw and needing cash to take care of other people (see his own words below), tried to pull a bogus paypal dispute saying first he wan't sure if/when he got it, then later it was materially not as described.   That was a first for me as he was happy with the book for the PRIOR 2 months and I told him per my listing that I only take books back 14 days unconditionally even due to change of heart etc, although after being requested by him, I agreed I would guarantee it would come back unrestored by CGC which he at first accepted and would ASAP remove the bogus paypal dispute claim and send in for grading.  However, then he decided he would break that promise to remove the fake paypal complaint and and rather go the bogus paypal dispute route to try and swindle me and keep a $2,425 book AND also get reimbursed by paypal with all my now held funds from this unfounded and bogus not as described paypal dispute.  My funds are now being held by paypal while they do their research, I have now given them the tracking and all communication so hopefully they realize how dishonest this guy is. You are welcome to read all our communication back and forth between me and mdean2437 below as these highlights sum it up best. (note, this guy even bought several more sizable books from me as recent as a couple weeks ago and still never mentioned any issues with the WWBN 32 from 2 months ago until it suited him and he needed the cash!)  First he just started out he wanted to return the book, then when I said that time past, it morphed into there might be something wrong with it, worried about restoration due to some other books he got hurt on when submitting to CGC.  We both agreed he could send it to CGC and I would guarantee no restoration.  However, as soon as I asked for new scans of the book to make sure the book had not been damaged or tampered with before being sent to CGC/third party, he ghosted me, never responded and advanced his paypal claim to the next level in hopes I would keep giving him more time to cancel his bogus paypal dispute so they could rule in his favor before I uploaded all my evidence.  RED FLAGS!

    Are you certain this is unrestored.  I have been stating at what has turned out to be a rash if books  anyway the lower left something is off.  I would like to return this book if possible 

    Plus if I'm right I'm going to need every penny I can Taking care of people.  If a return is acceptable please give me your address. If you respond quick enough I'll ship today along with other stuff.

    I have not sold it. You will revive it in the mail. Look. its on ebay but I cant end the auction since there are less than 12 hours left. I will end cancel the transaction from the buyer. Sorry and thank you.

    I gave you a generous 14 day return policy, you said the book looked even better than the grade I gave it.  I know it is not restored, its been locked away in a basement since the 1980s.  If you wanted to sell it easier you should have CGC graded it, I sold it at a big discount because I was willing to pass that savings onto you to save time and expense of CGC grading.  You can't just keep the book for 2 months, try to sell it on ebay and when it does not sell for a big profit (because you never sent it to CGC for grading) change your mind and try to return it to me.  If you buy and take a car off the dealer lot and 2 months later after driving it around decide you maybe should not have spent your money on a car, you can't just take it back to the dealer and ask for you money back.  I have all of this information about your acceptance of the book's condition and I can send it and your information that you have been trying to sell it on ebay to paypal and the CGC board moderators since you have been unreasonable in trying to force this return through paypal a full 2 months later after a well documented change of heart and in addition, it appears you must have two different CGC board member accounts.

     To save you from getting black listed on the CGC boards and with paypal, I would recommend you remove your false paypal claim of item not as described, go get the book CGC graded ASAP and you will likely get your money back and then some after re-listing it as a graded book which I know was your original intentions all along.  (multiple times having guaranteed I would take a return if it ever came back restored as I know for sure it was not unless he tampers with it)

    • Awesome thank you.  I will use it.  I already thought it was a higher a grade myself. 

    For him to release his bogus dishonest paypal dispute, I said I would be happy to guarantee it was unrestored as verified by CGC or other 3rd party, but also asked he send me a new scan to make sure it had not been damaged or tampered with since he received it, that was the last time I have heard from him on multiple attempts (RED FLAGS!) and he has since elevated his paypal dispute so it appears he never intended to remove his false paypal claim and send into CGC like he had promised me multiple times on the CGC boards PM and personal emails.

    Book is from an original owner collection stored in the retail storefront dealers basement since the early 80s. The book is not restored and the buyer had zero problems with it until I said the time for change of heart returns were past at the 14 day mark, not the 2 month mark, then suddenly its not as described as he wants to back out now with an abusive and bogus paypal claim after already telling me he just needed the money and it was just barely for sale on ebay and he was going to take down to return to me!   CGC board members that try to abuse the system with lies and deceit for a bogus paypal scam 2 months after a sale should at the very least be put on probation.

    THIS GUY IS BAD NEWS AND A STAIN AGAINST HONEST BUYERS/SELLERS ON THE BOARDS!  Any collector with some experience collecting big books like this can look at this book and tell there are no signs of restoration, what a freaking liar to make this up for a paypal dispute nearly 2 months later as he now needs the money and after not getting the money he wanted out of it in an ebay auction!

    X-Men #1  Attached, presentable, complete and affordable holy grail at just $6,500! (last 1.5 sold for $7,700) Looks about GD+ range has some glue at the spine that I have been told should be removable if you don't want the higher conserved grade.  I was going to send it in myself, but I thought I would offer it here first in case someone wants to keep it as a raw copy they can hold in their hands or so you can pick the slight resto removal unrestored vs. higher grade conserved label yourself.

  10. arriaga00432@gmail.com   This guy tried to scam me with a picture of a Flash 110 NM for auction currently at Heritage saying he would happily sell me this $5K book for just $1K.   I was recommended to go use him from a brand New board member Kendrick91 that just joined these boards and told me he had one for sale since I posed a wanted to buy in the CGC boards for that book.   Both are scammers, Kendrick91 a brand new shill board member should be banned from these boards as soon as possible!

    RUN AWAY FROM: Kendrick91

  11. Green Lantern #87 CGC 6.5  OW/White, Unpressed with several pressable defects. 1st John Steward Green Lantern, 2nd Guy Garnder GL that reportedly are being put into a Live Action TV series as well as big budget movie reboot making this book a Hot commodity. GPA $519 90 day to $547 last 12 month average, last 7.0 sold for $660.  Good luck finding this anywhere near those pricec on ebay or the buy it now listing houses.  Board Price Only $495

  12. X-Men 12 1st Juggernaut!  3.0 range, complete, attached, NO TAPE, solid page quality, has some writing on the back with typical wear and tear for grade with two very light water stains on both upper corners of back cover, the scans show the condition well.   Average 90 day $823 but the most Recent sale was $1,000!  My Price just $775 ($225 Below most recent sale price).

    X-Men #94  Strong 5.0 to 5.5.   Light spine wear, tiny partial tear near upper staple, very light corner crease is probably all that keeps this from VF range!   Average 5.0 last year was $851, most recent sale $760, 5.5 average $958 with most recent $765.  Board price just $695 which is Over $150 and $250 below 5.0/5.5 2021 average prices!

  13. Amazing Spiderman #6  1st Lizard, Shows as a solid FN range, Solid book well attached, tight, nice pages, attractive mid range with typical FN range defects like light wear on the spine, extremely small and light lower corner bend just barely starting to break to color, some marvel chipping, but from what I have seen, CGC does not really discount the grades for that inherent Marvel flaw until you get above the 7.0 grades (unless its extensive).  90 day FN GPA is $2,686. Board Price $2,286 exactly $400 or about 20% BELOW going GPA market prices!  (, I missed the back cover scan, ill get it when I get home tonight, but its NICE!)

    Amazing Spiderman #41 1st Rhino, CGC 3.5 WHITE PAGES!   Most recent GPA $500 and the GPA prices have been trending up way across the board with most recent sales setting the records, so that is probably the most accurate market price, plus this one has WHITE PAGES!  Do a quick search on ebay to see how much more they are asking for these in this range!  Board Price $445!

    Amazing Spiderman #41 FN range, tight, bright and sharp, not even a corner crease to be seen as you would expect even in a 7.0 copy!  Light stress line down spine, so I will be conservative and say its probably closest to the FN grade range +/- but with many nicer qualities.  See the scan can help you determine.  90 day 6.0 GPA is $855 with most recent sale of $995!   Board Price just $725.  

    Avengers 48 CGC NM 9.0 1st Black Knight, upcoming Hero in the multiple Marvel Movie story arc!  90 day GPA $2407 but most recent is $2,880!   Board price just $2,375 over $500 BELOW Most Recent GPA Sale! 

    Avengers #2 CGC 2.5  90 day GPA $400, most recent GPA $468.  Board Price $398. ($70 Below most recent GPA)  Front presents very well for the grade plus it has WHITE Pages.
