Picked this up last night, for about 60% of what I thought I would have to pay:
Another round of great bargains on the CLink; shocking that it has been this way for a while now with those auctions.

Picked these guys up last night, just lacking one from the McFarlane run for a 9.6/9.8 collection. These are hard as hell to find in decent shape it seems. Glad to have them.

Why is there not a barristers thread in the general forum?
How do I get copies of the transcripts from the inevitable depos in this case? Talk about a good weekend read.

Bet someone a buck that this matter will be bound by arbitration if it heads to the courthouse.

Went back and forth negotiating over a book. I said "make it $200, and you have yourself a deal!"
They made an offer for $200.
I accepted.
Two hours later:
Hi, unfortunately I no longer need item. Instead of returning item could you please cancel transaction. eBay will not charge you any fees if you send me the cancellation link/message. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much.Then, later in the day:
Hi, sent you request for cancellation. I see your auction has two week refund policy but wanted to avoid the hassle of returning item. Thx, I appreciate it.I did not reply to either message. Notice the subtle, implied threat: "if you make me pay for the item, and you send the item, I will return it, and you will be out the postage, too."
Today, received payment. I refunded, Paypal takes 30 cent non-negotiable transaction fee, and eBay takes the 30 listing fee, and refuses to protect me from either negative feedback or being stolen from.
The corruptness of eBay never, ever ceases to amaze me.

Why didn't you just cancel to begin with and move on? What point did you end up proving there?
That people should honor their commitments...?
I know, crazy!
I didn't cancel because the buyer made a commitment to buy the item, and he/she was asking to be let out of that commitment with no cost. I wasn't about to do that, and would have filed a NPB case if it came to that.
It did not.
Have fun jousting your windmills I do, and will. And if Dragonjab loses the opportunity to buy from a few people because of his/her game-playing...maybe he/she will think about it before doing it to someone else. That's obviously a very large "maybe", but who knows? You think that's "jousting a windmill"..? Sure, no problem. Knock yourself out.
What's your eBay user id?
Don't worry about it; you and I will never do business, on ebay, on here, anywhere.And take a breath and let the Force flow through you; this is how it starts and then you get bounced out of here. Again.

Strongly disagree. I watch the show but live 530 Km from the nearest theatre. It would suck to have to wait 6 months or spend hundreds of dollars to have to go see it.
I think that when the tv show dies it will certainly hurt the comic popularity and see decrease sales. I have probably 40-50 friends who watch the show but dont collect or read the comics myself included. I think about shows like x-files, lost and a few other huge shows. X-files is back but don't seem to have picked up many new viewers and old returning viewers seem to be losing interest fast, myself included
. Series die and new ones replace them.Last episode or episodes should on the big screen. That would be cool.Such a showoff.

I don't think they keep track of viewership under 18 because sponsors don't see them as being able to really be a consumer
You should watch some children's networks. I think it would make you change your mind on this.
Most thoughtful post in this thread.

The people paying $2000 + for a copy of regular Star Wars 1 in 9.8 are probably feeling buyers remorse right about now. My guess is after the movie comes and goes this book will settle in right around $1000.

For me often its whether I get a whiff of attitude or not on the seller's part, if I get a sense of the old "I'm too cool for rules" type, I'm more comfortable with the posting in the thread response. Otherwise I now try to first PM as a courtesy.
Sort of subjective, isnt it?

I agree completely about the GPA thing, it is different. GPA is often quoted as an authority or as objective, authoritative data of its kind, and like the quoting of any authoritative source, you are obligated to do it in proper context.
If in a sales thread a seller quoted a well known media commentator as to how great an investment a book was etc, to encourage a sale, and the quote was found to be out of context, I think people would expect that to be corrected, or deleted.
The only question to me is the one of propriety- should notice be given in PM first to allow time for the OP to correct, or is it urgent enough to require public posting? That is I guess arguable.
Separate and distinct from the issue of whether you the boardie should have PMed the seller or said it in the thread, at least for me, anytime someone puts GPA data in a sales thread, or cites it, or really relies on it for anything, I go to GPA and see it and research it for myself.
Thats just due dilligence and being an informed buyer. Anyone that doesnt do that in the first place should probably start regardless of their position on whether or not you should PM or post in the thread about this stuff.

Thanks to all, I really appreciate the insight and thought. Not an easy issue to deal with, but thanks for the good ideas.

Thinking about getting my first sales thread going. Can anyone offer some advice as to how to craft a sales thread to make it known to certain boardies that they are not welcome to participate in it? It's three different boardies; I have had really one really bad experience with each, never done business with them again, and notice a pattern with each one on here that would sort of demonstrate to me that I don't want any future dealings with them.
They are, however, folks that do alot of buying and selling on here. People tend to state in their sales threads that they "reserve the right to not deal with anyone on their personal mess list," but is there another way short of PMing them before the thread gets going to say they are not welcome?
I am not trying to be a jerk, not trying to start drama, just trying to avoid a krapped up sales thread before it starts. Appreciate the advice.

That was fast! I don't know what the final sales price was, but congrats to Topnotchman.WOW! Topnotchman's got a sweet copy.
If I could I'd snap it right up.

Thoughts on this. A buyer agrees to purchase a book.
You send invoice or even before you send invoice buyer sends you a link
to ebay auction asking you to meet that ebay price in the link after he agrees to your price. He has done this to me and another seller now.
What do you guys think about this. I am out not outing the buyer yet just getting some feedback here. Is this now an acceptable way to negotiate? Just to be honest I cancel my transaction because of it. I don't do business with people like that it just strikes me as wrong.
I would have ignored the information about the ebay auction. Its irrelevant to the sale between you and your buyer. Now if you had received that information prior to the sale being consumated (an offer and an acceptance), then it s a different story, and frankly, thats just smart shopping. But its easy to see what happened, your buyer is looking for a book, agrees to buy yours, and then finds the same book cheaper, and just wants a reprieve on paying too much, too soon.
That happens to us as buyers all the time, you look and look and look, and the right after you find it, you find it even cheaper, but there is no reason you should have canceled the transaction as a seller because of that.

Who wants to see the emails where John Macaluso, WW CEO & facebook star, offered to cancel WW Indy last February if Indiana Comic Con (last March) would pay its combined venue rental & hotel room block of approx. $100K?
Who wants to know how much they lost in Indy when they proceeded anyway, after Indiana Comic Con rejected this curious brand of what looks like gangsterism?
WW scheduled Orlando 2016 the same weekend as Tampa Bay Comic Con 2016. Who is ready to make predictions & take bets?
Scare other cons into buying them out? Are you really suggesting this is WW's business model going forward?

So Americans get FREE boxes from USPS and this guy is still too cheap/lazy to ship books in a box, that's ridiculous
A long time board member on top of it. Nice service, way to go!
Its the land of the Free; don't forget it.

Stock (WIZD) down another 42% today after getting pummeled 28% last Friday on no apparent news. Full disclosure I have (fortunately at this point), a very small position in the stock.
Good lord, why?
Have fun jousting your windmills
