  1. Great shop, and one of the best I've been to in the U.S. I went there every time I was over for the Pittsburgh Comicon. I met Greg a few times and sold him a Showcase 4 once. Excellent selection of books, acres of boxes and great staff too. A very sad loss.
  2. Last bump - take 25% off whatever's left (the Marvel Tales, Ghost Comics and the Strange Tales). .
  3. All This Magazine Is Haunteds sold. Take 15% off whatever’s left, which is the Marvel Tales, Ghost Comics and the Strange Tales.
  4. Strange Fantasy 2 (# 1). VG+ Bottom edge is a vertical miswrap (i.e. the white is part of the cover). $595. SOLD
  5. Ghost Comics 3 VG+ $550 (Looks much sharper, but has light stains on front only visible at certain angles, and a sticker stain on the back)
  6. Voodoo 6.5/7.0. Full gloss on this book. $1200. SOLD.
  7. This Magazine Is Haunted 9 FN- $495. Top left corner is not missing, it's just discolored
  8. Some pre-codes and one or two other items for sale. Payment - PayPal preferred, bank transfer also okay. Packing - Books will be sent boxed, and shipped by International Signed For. Price of each book includes shipping. Returns - No quibble as long as it's sent back within two weeks of receipt and is in the same condition as sent. First boardie who states that they'll take it gets the book. No naughty folks. Books in a moment.
  9. Been on eBay since its wild west days, long before it got corporatized. Them were the days, when you could see who was bidding against you, you could call out and shut down shark or phony sellers and there was so much good stuff at reasonable (or better) prices. Gradually and incrementally eBay closed all the loopholes allowing you to datamine, or simply have fun. And just when you thought their last initiative wasn't draconian enough, they made the site even less of a pleasure. But it has been a goldmine for buyers such as me, allowing access to countless books I would have had no knowledge of, and so like yourself I rode out all the changes. Until the last year or two. Not every single eBay change has been bad (not allowing buyers to receive negative feedback has generally been a good thing) but the site has been habitually counterintuitive in its revamps and price hikes. Plus it isn't the Aladdin's Cave it used to be - there's still good stuff, but it's thin on the ground. Back in the noughties I'd be bidding on stuff every day, practically. Now it's less than every other week. You have to be philosophical - eBay can do what it likes. Last night I thought about a site like eBay that only did comics and other related collectibles. I figured that it'd barely make a dent in eBay's market share as the company got in on the ground floor, is too embedded and is global, and has been for many years. So we're stuffed and will just have to lump it.
  10. “Optimal visibility”. So when you go into a department store the staff have to show you everything in it before you can access what you’re actually after, you know, just in case you don’t know exactly what you want. So making it impossible to search for anything specific will optimise our experience. Has there ever been an eBay revamp that was customer friendly?
  11. Me too. I go to Scotland as often as I can - prior to the pandemic, I was going there every summer (Loch Lomond, Loch Ness, Edinburgh, etc.). Plus as a Canadian you must have some Scots blood in your lineage...
  12. @Get Marwood & I Oh yeah, I went to one of my saved auctions on My eBay, which is a pre-code horror book. Previously it would've been listed under collectibles-comics-golden age-horror. Now at the top of the page it's listed like this:- Collectibles - Comic Books & Memorabilia - Comics - Comics & Graphic Novels
