CAL, the hero Batman thinks we need AND knows we do not deserve.

I take it you won;t be joining my fan club anytime this year.

CAL who totally understands for the RIGHT reason( there is only ONE real reason)...

Dude! CAL! I am your fan club. All joking aside, I love the slam dunking you bring to these fools that think other people's transactions arent to be taken seriously. 

I just won't talk in the 3Rd person as to do so is sacrilege to CAL.

I'm sure the transistors are sweating and rejoicing as they haven't had such a thorough workout since your last thread fest.

Comix4fun picked it up from various boxers, wrestlers, football players and other CTE sufferers. 

They picked it up from CAL.

I have only sold 3 books in my whole life , and you are not one of them. So TRUTH is not you forte'.

Could CAL have made a mistake? If so, is CAL not the omni-potent being we all thought he was? Could this be the real CAL or is it merely an impostor?

Find out on the next episode of...

Dragon Ball CGC!

Greg, any x-men coming up?

CAL needs to start throwing some hurt around to other non-believers in your flawless way of thinking. Specially against those non-paying bidders!

Gotham Kid, Cal is Quintessense. You know that right?

PS: De que parte de Lisboa és?

I've met you before Cal, probably just didn't make an impression as I'll usually on throw a few tidbits here and there.

And maybe I'll go on the marketplace more, etc. but that's it.

Anyway, it'll be a shame, if we at least don't attempt to find out who this buyer is!

Let's start a detective agency. I'll be your assistant.

Hit'em with the High CALibre rounds!

What a person_who_is_obnoxiously_self-impressed.

"I might not have paid for something when I was on holiday in Europe for a month"

You can obviously afford that then, plus it's not the first time you've done this.

Strike this foo!

Hey Cal, I can find it, but you don't have anything on there.

Lol! That is epic.

What's your eBay handle. It's time yo buy from Cal!

Nailing it with the grading and definitely nailing it with the resto detection.

Booyakasha.

I don't know why I said that.

Now that's some cool stuff.

Got pics for my naughty library?

Lizards if you remove this temptation I'll make sure that all my spare cans go your way.

Will somebody please buy this already?

Darn it. Maybe next time!

If you ever have a 6.0 that you're interested in letting go of let me know.

Aaaaaaaaand I'll stop hijacking the thread now.

Whoever gets this is a lucky b.

Payment in non-vital organs accepted?

I am also willing to trade my left arm.

That is a beautiful book. Love these boards cause of book like yours.

Good luck with your sale. I'm sure it won't last long.

It's a shame about this hobby, as I'd rather books were priced for collectors.

I'd love to own the entire run of X-men in high grade, have it nice neatly slabbed, even if the whole collection was worth $1, but that is never going to happen.

Another movie, another tv show, another inflation on key books I don't have yet.

Just from my own experiences, in selling and buying, I know a lot of people skip the GPA all-together and just price books in the ballpark of what is on Ebay.  Most of the time those prices are "negotiable" which is why you see price cut, after price cut.  As for the contributing to the boards portion of the discussion, I think a lot of people find these boards and think to themselves "oh great! a place to sell my stuff and not have to pay fees to ebay!".  It will work for some, but with so much competition for the front page at times, a lot of these people will move on.  Then there are those like me that read these boards on a daily basis, but only occasionally comment.  I like to look at the pretty books  

With you on the pretty books. Someone posted a JIM 83 9.0 the other day.

You are 100% correct.  I was discussing this with a couple of my buddies last week.  Back in the day a new member would rarely be selling comics in the first 6 months.  Another thing that has changed is years ago you would rarely see a seller asking for prices that are over GPA (unless the comic was rare or super hot).   Since the seller was saving on EBAY fees they would usually price their items under GPA  but this has completely changed.   Most of the items I see for sale are well above GPA and even after 2-3 price cuts they are still over GPA.  Most of the items I see like this rarely sell compared to years ago when most of what was put up for sale actually sold.

 

This is so true. Well above GPA. Obviously you will only buy if you are interested, but there are definitely an influx of sellers who are selling above GPA and still charge the 3% PayPal fees.

I don't think as a buyer you should still have to pay for the 3% fees anyway. If they are so bothered about it, add it into their price.

What would be a good solution to stop this from happening?

dibs on the good Marvel stuff that I can afford.

This is how it works right?

I can afford tree fiddy 

I used Mike at hero restoration for a x-men #4.

Worth it.

The black cover definitely makes it better in a higher grade.

I'm just trying to justify the cost.

There are still a series of Keys that I'm after.

FF48, 52

Iron Man 1,

SS 1,

DD1,

Tomb of Drac 10

Special Marvel Edition 15

Plus baby on the way.

Rome was most definitely not built in a day and neither will my comic book collection.
