Hello all...

I just recently picked up a small OO collection locally.  Nothing too fantastic but some decent run filler books that are in decent shape outside of a few.

Titles included are:  X-Men, Journey into Mystery, Tales of Suspense, Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Tales to Astonish and maybe some other stuff.  It's around 95 books and does have at least two keys.

No HOS or PL or my personal list.  I reserve the right to not sell to you if I so choose.  If you think you're on my personal list, PM first.

All books are accounted for and none will be lost.

Domestic shipping will be $7 for up to 3 books.  After that, we'll go to a box and it'll be $15 for as many as you want.  International will get a $15 credit (unless otherwise discussed)  

For payments under $200, I'll take PayPal.  Anything over, a check/money order please.

I'll accept returns but you'll cover shipping both ways.

All books are raw and are unrestored.  I'm going to grade them and will take front/back photos and note anything truly off but overall they're VG to F across the board.

I'll be pricing them in the VG range and will offer a discount.

Discounts:
If you buy 1-5 books, take 2% off
If you buy 6-10 books, take 5% off
If you buy 10-15 books, take 7% off
If you buy 16+ books, take 10% off

There will be one book offered that does not qualify for a discount.

I'm going to post a photos of the group and then list the Daredevils.  Then I'll try to get as many as I can in tonight.

I read this from a different angle actually, though I see exactly where you're coming from too.

I think a lot of people question whether this is the first offense to see if there is a pattern of abuse.  If there is such a pattern, then that may sway the vote against the seller, REGARDLESS of the evidence in the current case.

To analogize this similar to your examples... Let's say a man was convicted of theft last year.  There was a recent robbery and this same man was arrested due to the crime being similar to what he was convicted of previously.  Should we automatically assume this man is guilty?  Should we punish him for the second crime because he was simply convicted of the first?

That's at least how I read the inquiries into whether this was a first offense or not.  Then again, I can see it your way as well.  Regardless, asking whether this is a first offense only invites biases to the table.  IMO, each case should stand on its own based on the evidence at hand.

 

In your example, I would say no, he should not be charged with the crime without due process.  So I guess the whole idea behind the poll is that it gives the seller due process. 

Sadly like @kav says, if he doesn't care enough to come in and at least voice his side...why should anyone else care.

This is a fine discussion and I'll add my in:

First off, @Red84 sent me a PM asking about the poll.  I had no objections to the poll as it seemed like a fair and reasonable request; let a jury of your peers determine your "guilt or innocence"  The poll and associated conditions seem fine as well...so as it stands, I have no objection to the outcome of the poll.

Secondly, someone mentioned that if the nominator and offender don't vote, it shows we don't care.  That couldn't be any further from the truth.  During trail, does the plaintiff or defendant get a vote on the jury?  Last I checked, they don't....so I don't believe it's fair for me to vote.  Besides, the math dictates that an "oppose" vote actually carries more weight than a "remove" vote.  So my vote would be weighted heavier than his...therefore, I choose not to vote this time.

Thirdly, the offending party hasn't piped up AT ALL in regards to this.  I know he's been active on the boards so I'm not exactly sure what's going on.

And lastly, i've seen so many people use the logic of "the buyer was refunded; he was made whole" argument.  In my opinion, that's flawed logic and here's why:  I paid with PayPal...what other option did the seller have?  Had he not refunded my payment, PayPal would have forced the issue (or my CC as a last resort).  Fact is, he didn't take any great step to rectify the situation.  He had zero choice in the matter b/c ultimately a higher entity would have stepped in to resolve the issue.

I've also seen some question the seller's character by asking if this is his first offense, and if not, maybe he should get a mulligan?  Does a drunk driver who injures an innocent get a mulligan simply b/c he was an "upstanding citizen" until he drove drunk?  Do you get a mulligan for CDV or child abuse?  Again, flawed logic IMO...

But I do believe it's a good and fair idea to let the poll decide...

Hello CC,

We sold a few books over the past few weeks via feebay and the boards.  We are not able to locate ASM 5.

Sorry for the mishap. 

Thanks for your understanding.

 

Once again...you still don't get it.  You continue to hide behind vague and ambiguous answers.

If you sold it via eBay, show everyone the sales receipt.  If you sold it on the boards, show us the PayPal receipt or the PM where you sold it. 

Provide the answers to the simple questions....if you cannot, then you remain.

Wow - is this still on going??  The seller appears to have come on here and defended themselves a couple different times and I don't think there will ever be satisfaction no matter how much points they defend themselves against.  I have no idea if the book was lost and things do seem fishy but this level of demanding a pound of flesh is excessive and a detriment to the PL list.

Actually, the seller has come on here, given conflicting answers to some questions while avoiding others.  But hey, everyone deserves a participation trophy right?

Couple thoughts floating in my head:

1) it would be unfair to ask any seller to go out, acquire a book at FMV and sell to another at less than FMV.  So I would never ask that to happen

2) I do appreciate the seller coming into the thread to offer up his side of the story....but...

3) The answers received continue to be murky at best and cast doubt as to the truth of the matter.

Too many contradictions to basic questions at this point.  No real clarity as to why photos are deleted in one spot vs. another (and sorry, the "people use the cert #'s for registry" answer is bogus).  EVERY single book on CLink, Heritage and CC have the cert #'s available.  Sorry, this one does not track.

I've never once take the position that the seller is flat out lying that he lost the book.  The actions that transpired after I paid and was refunded have just cast a significant amount of doubt as to the actual truth being told...however, the fact still remains that it is possible (although not probable) that the book was lost.

However, I do not feel at this time that the seller has satisfactorily answered all the questions posed and therefore, I am not removing my PL nomination at this time.  If the seller wants to address his "confusion," then I believe we are all ears....

Just so everyone is aware, I’m reading all the commentary and am thinking about the best course of action. 

I do have a follow up question:

if the book in question was previously sold, can you locate the record on PayPal? If so, do you mind sharing with me? 

@1Cool  it was not me

@Murphman13 yes but 99% overpriced 

We will be there tomorrow.   I’ll have on a grey Columbia Comics T-shirt.  If anyone sees me, stop me and introduce yourself 😁

Seller has read the PM requesting photos.  The time has past...

@crassus

Seller has been notified and the photos requested.  Seller has until Thursday, June 13 at 8:30 PM to post the images.  

The original PM notifying of the probation nomination was sent on Monday at 8:30 PM.  This complies with the 72 hour rule. 

@telerites

thanks for the kind words.  It’s not so much that the book has gone missing, it’s the complete lack of interest in at least attempting to make amends.  The complete dismissal “it’s lost, here’s your money back, GFY” that burns me up. 

While I’ve never lost a book, I have some it on eBay and then it resold on my site Bc I forgot to take it down.

However, I handled the situation completely differently, explained what happened, apologized and then offered a discount on a future purchase.  Guess what happened?   Buyer came back and bought a different book WITH the discount.  Win win! 

I believe this seller has been called out for questionable selling prior to this incident.  And yeah, an apology does go a long way. 

yeah it is.   apparently one's integrity can be purchased for less than $300

The FS forum seems a little slow lately.  

People keep losing books...
