  1. This is really cool Even my girlfriend would love this +1 I'd imagine Barbara Eden's sig isn't that easy to get. Where did you get it? She was at a show on the East Coast. GACollectibles got it for me
  2. That's fine, I think it's just important for the seller to know you are not making an offer on the book, you're just inquiring as to price.
  3. I'd be pissed. You are essentially asking the book at the price that's OK for you and the seller has the right to assume that if he accepts that price without countering, it's a done deal. When I send a request with a specific price in the PM, if accepted, I always consume the deal. If I am on the fence, I send a PM with the following question: "What's the best you can do on this book?" If the price I hear back is not OK for me, I thank the seller and might pass on the book (or counter, which I rarely would do in that instance) as I never indicated that I will accept the new price offered. I think to avoid any confusion and hard feelings either way, that the proper approach is for a buyer to do one of two things: If the buyer is serious about the item in question, the phrase should be "If you'll sell for $X, I'll take it." This is an offer to buy and the seller can then accept or reject the offer in a reasonable time. If the buyer is just fishing, then the phrase should be as Scrooge says "What's the best you can do on the item?" This is an inquiry asking for an offer, rather than an offer. This should work for everybody
  4. It's not a deal until you both "shake on it" as it were. Whenever I make an offer, I don't consider it a done deal until we've both said okay. So no, I wouldn't say you're on the hook with the fellow. I usually try to phase my offers as a question, just to make it a bit more clear that it's not final yet: "Hey man, would you accept $120 for your Captain Carrot #16 4.5 GLOD?" My question is, why would you ask if you aren't planning on buying it if the answer is "yes?" Otherwise, it seems to me you're just wasting the seller's time...
  5. These aren't slabbed, but are in the spirit of things. Two sketch covers from Allen Bellman who I met at last weekend's con.
  6. A thread for a few new books from Joeypost
  7. Wow, those prices are unreal. Maybe these are finally catching on...
  8. Ditto on all counts. Great transaction
  9. Not exactly high grade, but glad to have it
  10. I really like the covers on the Comedy second series
  11. I think they're about right. But definitely no gift grades in my latest submission.
  12. If you're asking if it's Teen Humor, the answer is "Yes!" Please post it
  13. There are two Millie books that are virtually impossible to find. Number 2 (which most people know is tough) and this book, which you pretty much have to be a Millie completist to know is scarce. Glad to have found a decent copy.
