  1. this one should be added to your blocked bidder list.

    username lcheah2012   he is a fraudster, was trying haggle with my friend for ages on a MSE 15 and when my friend said he would not give any discount he used the buy it now.

    Luckily my friend sent the item tracked and signed and a couple of weeks later, he said he did not get the comic and wanted his money back. My friend checked tracking, saw the details and that he had signed for it, yeah stupid person. My friend spoke with ebay, they said wait until he opens a claim, which he then did, ebay closed it quickly, he is under supposedly under ebay investigation. My friend told him he was committing fraud (or trying to) her replied saying, what are you, some sort of lawyer or something, my friend said he would tell as many people as possible to warn others of his tactic.

     

  2. I remember all the moaning about Iron Fist being whitewashed, was so annoying. I remember them even asking the asian actress if she was upset about the fact that Iron Fist was not asian as well.

    I was not looking for it, it was everywhere when the show first came about, I was talking about this with some friends that if they wanted an asian martial artist, they have Shang Chai, no need to change IF.

  3. My problem with modern comics, with few a exceptions is:

    Continuity, some new writers come along, know nothing bout previous stories and just try to make the characters their own with not a care about the history of the character.

    Also, a lot of the art is appalling. You get all these pretty covers, variants, then you flick inside and it's terrible. At that point, I can't even be bothered to read it.

  4. Don't know why the other company were a witness, the grading in all the slabs of all companies are subjective and sometimes differ when even sending it back to the same company.

    I agree with Heritage, saying that the books should have their own unique label, so that buyers know that it is not just restoration and pretty much a recreation when there's so much being done.

    They should have just accepted their own special label for their books that had this much done to them.

  5. I just spoke with GPA, very nice people, they enquired about it with paypal and paypal confirmed to them what I said here. 

    I just don't get why it matters to paypal as long as they get their cut, guess they want to make a bit more out of you. If I had dollars in paypal, I used to be able to pay those dollars straight into my bank account and let the bank do the conversion, which was current,  but paypal wont let you do that now either, they have to convert it before hand for you, lol, I think last time, out of $2000, they made roughly an extra £60 out of me at the rate they used :-( and I think it's to do with this, it's a way to make that little bit extra out of people.

  6. Just had an interesting conversation with Paypal. I was doing the monthly subscription with GPA, but thought I would change it to the yearly one and save a few pennies.

    But, every time I went to pay, it would not let me, even though I had lots of funds in my paypal, dollars and pounds. So I phoned paypal and they said as it's the first of a yearly subscription, they don't want me to use my balance of $'s or £'s they want me to use my debit or credit card and then next year I can use my balance if I desire!

    WTF, this really shocked and annoyed me, just an absolute joke, the only reason they want me to do that, is so they can use my card and charge me their crazy rates converting £'s into $'s, I think it was almost £100 for $119, reason i have dollars in my account is for instances like this to avoid their horrible rates.

    Anyone else had this same problem?

  7. Be good to know when it's from, does not look like a 70's comic to me though. Some writer comes along and obviously read MTU 1 and decided that was her, as the marvel universe index's from early 80's say her first appearance was Marvel Premiere 21.

    Marvel Premiere 21 makes more sense to me, kung fu fighting, tough woman, not some extra who barely has a few lines in MTU 1.
