I picked up the redtoned version of the issue 1 cover. I may grab a couple more after I receive this one. Now I just need to find a reasonably priced copy of the Nickelodeon poster from last year's SDCC.

I'm thinking of grabbing a couple of these prints. I love the TMNT 1 cover recreations. How is his shipping? Is the paper stock good?

Ask Toitle if he's selling. He seems to have a few.

Sounded to me like Zombizzy would not allow a full refund, only offered $20 and Romeo asked for $40 as a compromise. I've often thought that full refunds should be a MUST here. I don't understand why anyone would refuse to give one immediately if there is a problem. If you are selling books to fix your car, you should wait till you make sure the person is happy with the books. Okay. If a full refund was an option upfront, that was then refused by Zombizzy, then Zombizzy is clearly in the wrong.

Correct my timelines if I'm wrong but didn't Zombizzy offer a $20 partial refund early on, which was refused by A.Romeo, at which point A.Romeo demanded $40? I've dealt with buyers in the past who disagreed with my grading and demanded a certain amount of refund. When I've offered full refund for a return the buyers have gotten upset. Generally it seems that the buyer wants to keep the comic and get his money back, using the subjectivity of grading as a cover. It seems pretty clear that this is what A.Romeo is going for, considering he stated he doesn't want to send the comics back. Maybe they should both be on the PL?

No discussions in the "no discussions" thread.

I'm not sure what that's supposed to prove. Kudos threads don't contain negative comments. EVERYONE's kudos thread makes them look good. That's why they're stupid.

OK so the "I keep books, give me a full refund" doesn't seen reasonable to me - when going back to the PM's & ignoring the timeline - I'm trying to get some sense of "how you do things" Please explain the math on 4/19 regarding the credit offer you rejected - I'm not clear on how saying a book is in 9.8 condition compels the seller to cover a buyers' "loss" of any grading fees, fast track service charges etc... nor do I see how your damages relate to both books. I guess the point is if you would have gotten a 9.8 graded but wouldn't bother with grading a 9.4 then why is fast track a relevant "loss", it's not a cost you were going to incur (if not slabbing) - your "loss" should relate to the book's value shouldn't it? I may be missing something because I'm a bit buzzed, I don't get the numbers you are referring to in your 4/19 negotiation. Explain them. If you read everything that has been said regarding the credit without returning statement, I stated I said that as more of a joke because that is how one poster stated Zombizzy handled his previous escalation with a buyer, so I figured why wouldn't he offer me the same. I had also stated at one point I would have taken a $40 refund to settle the deal, the loss in value from the grade of a 9.8 to something that looks like a 9.2 can be fairly significant. zombizzy refused my $40 ask of a refund and would only offer $20. After him ignoring me for weeks at a time only to come back and answer me in one sentence answers, I had now said only a full refund would work which I originally wanted in the first place, but Zombizzy would not accept that or the $40 refund.. Months later when Zombizzy wanted to sell more books is when he was willing to offer me a full refund because it now benefits him on his timetable. A buyer shouldn't have to be held by the balls by the seller. Again if Zombizzy was a legit seller he would have worked this out up front. Instead he chose to ignore my PMs So you demanded a $40 refund based on some weird opportunity cost gymnastics and he offered you $20? My personal stance on partial refunds is that they are generally used for extortion purposes. He didn't agree with your math and that's why Zombizzy is on the PL? Yeah, I'm not so sure about the validity of this case. You may want to seriously consider letting this one go and moving on because the more details you reveal, the worse you look.

Does the #1 6th print get graded as magazine size?

According to Eastman's site, he won't be at DragonCon. He is scheduled for SDCC, NYCC, and Fantacon.

One sold in April for $545 so $750 is kind of a blah price. Maybe wait for the auction to run out and then send him an offer of $500.

I'm not on a strike anymore so you can't just take shots at me with impunity. Why don't you go dry clean your Aaron Hernandez jersey? Probably sold it. Those things are getting crazy money. I traded mine in for a combo Wes Welker/Danny Woodhead/Drew Bledsoe.

Yeah, that.

I think he just meant "the owners of their respected books are okay with my insane shipping delays".

I love the little head sketches Talbot does.

Now I don't have to hump Fingh's MySlabbedComics page.

Well that's terrible news.

Does anyone have any experience with ordering directly from Mirage? I bought a couple books from them last week and I'm curious as to what kind of condition books are in and how fast or slow the shipping is.

Yeah, I'm not sure "I must have those" is tantamount to "I'll take it." Ignoring PMs is always annoying but the would-be buyer may just feel too timid to say, "Uhh, yeah, I wasn't really buying those."

Anyone else following this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/350821078364?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Awesome. I picked up the first Tales of the TMNT collection at Shellback and really liked it.

I just voted!

You bored today?
