  1. So you can't ship safely? Wait so that pm came from someone else right and not you that states you ship in a box and bubble wrap?
  2. Maybe learn to ship properly so you don't have to send out refunds for damages It isn't what you are charging that is the issue. The issue is: - Yes I ship in a box with bubble wrap *book arrives sandwiched between priority mail flat cardboard lacking everything you claimed*
  3. MST doesn't move much till the end anyways. Current TaTs are like 36 business days, by my count you are right around the 20 day mark. Just think you are halfway there ooooooo
  4. I would hope that dealer would never accept consignment from them again and hopefully pass that information onto other dealers.
  5. Waiting to receive book? Nope.. Basically I hit a buy it now for a Showcase 4 at a reputable website and paid right away. After a few days, I was told that the consignor was on vacation and that he would ship the book out within a month's time. So I waited a month, and passed on a few opportunities to buy a copy because I was confident that I will have it. It's been about a month now and emailed the dealer asking em to follow up on the book and ask the consignor when he/she will ship the book. Got an email today that after repeated emails and calls, the consignor has not responded to them and I was asked if I wanted my $ back.. How do you think I felt after hearing that... And so, I emailed them back and told them to wait for a response from the consignor and I told them how upset I was... I guess it's a waiting game now to see if I will actually own the book or not. That is rough. Hopefully works out for you
  6. I turn sigs off, I find it distracting too Then how do you know to find me books I need!
  7. Perhaps: married cover + cracked case + fake label + blurry photos = recipe for somethin' shady. You can trust him he has 51 positive feedbacks and once found a wallet with $2,000 in it! Yes...but he only returned $1600... 20% is 20%
  8. MFT Received March 31st - Shipped Safe April 24

  10. I am dealing with one of those guys now. He even had the balls to take my photos I sent him and plaster them around with a whopping 1.66x mark up to what he is "going" to pay me. I say going cause he has been talking with me since early April and still yet to pick them up. (Off board transaction).
  11. X-men guy is trying to get ppls at no cost to them and no insurance to them to send him books. he will sell the books at a low cost of only 20%. So he is saying that the X-men book is not his and a "client" and his client wants X so he is bumping it up X+20%
  12. Was surprised this wasn't requested earlier TBH
  13. Whatever Iceman says it is It's all individual preference. I like two data points (12mo / Last sale). Some sellers here ask more than GPA on books that have particularly good eye appeal or wrap, which is fine too. Oh good from now on I shall use that I try to pick a data point and stick with it based on the type of book, and the # of sales. Sometimes I might extend the data window if there arent a lot of sales. (like if there's only been 1 sale in 90 days, but 4 sales in 12 months, I'll move it to 12 months to get more data points). Usually I stick to 1 point (like 12 mo GPA) and then ADD the extra info that justifies my asking price (like a higher 90 day average, or a big bump in the last few sales). Providing more info is fine, providing selective data is sketchy. And all the X-men seller did was cite a sales range (800-1500 on gpa) but that sale price range doesnt line up with ANY data in GPA. No X-men 1.5 has EVER a recorded sale in GPA over $1029, so to note a 1500 sale is erroneous for sure. Fixed the 1.0 to 1.5, but numbers you said are correct. I am not trying to justify his pricing or his statement but when the first thing VETERANS do on the boards is say good luck your price is WAY to high, it is uncalled for. Say good luck and move on.
  14. And now its been clipped. The OP cited that "Im seeing 800-1500 gpa" and tha'ts no where close to accurate (highest sale ever in GPA is 1029). He gets to ask what he gets to ask (or what the owner is telling him to ask) but he doesnt get to mis-cite GPA. So what is the correct value to quote for GPA? A hot book on the rise showing last sale A book that has been constant for the last few months after a movie spike (90 day) A book that was burning up but now taken a back seat to other popular books (12 month) Not saying the data can't be manipulated to ones benefit as all data can be (and often is) to achieve the results of the user.
  15. Wonder if my MFT will be shipping soon as they were also graded on the 11th... *edit* Changed to QC today!
  16. Someone just offered me full value on a trade-up. Let's see where it goes, but it would be a new record number for it. The fact someone was willing to pay, even in trade 35k shows the trend for this book. Update!
  17. If someone would be kind enough to update the list. When was the new PM sent? After 30 days had passed and over 3 weeks of him reading and not responding to my messages. What DATE did you sent the new PM? Was it (or has it now been) 72 hours since sending it before you asked someone to put him on the list? April 12. Not sure why you fighting this... I'm not fighting it. People say when the new PM was sent so we know 72 hours has passed. It is amazing how many deals get resolved within a day or two of that new PM hitting their inbox. (thumbs u

Not sure why you fighting this... it's just the process. and I believe you've followed it! Oh I know I did... Knew he wasn't going to pay after the first week.
