Slowly putting together boxes and wall books. Here is a quick shot of some magazines I’m bringing. More pictures as I get ready for the show. -
Time for my copy to get listed.

Moderns that are heating up on ebay!
manetteska replied to thirdgreenham's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
I agree; if the seller had come here and said, "yeah, same pics, common comics" end of story. But his outright refusal to admit that, or understand that, is baffling. Now, selling over 100 individual comics and the AVERAGE grade is 9.8, time for that 9.9 pre-screen. Leaving money on the table. -
Moderns that are heating up on ebay!
manetteska replied to thirdgreenham's topic in Modern Age Comic Books
Sorry but it's actually pretty easy to set up the same shot when you use a fixed photography display such as we do. We also do not simply say "look at the pictures".. We assign an average grade for every run we sell and photograph every book. The Average grade is stated in the title and description... Since it seems we still cannot get the benefit of the doubt despite our track record, feedback and assurances, I hope this helps put this claim to bed.. Here's my last try: I believe NeatStuff sold these lots and to different buyers and they are completely separate lots. I understand you have a fixed display but do you also lay the comics over each the *exact same way* every single time? Look at the same peekaboo vertical line of "DIRECT SALES" on this comic in *every* auction; or how the bar code on the left exactly shows only the last two digits the same way: Correct; you don't *just* say "look at the pictures"; you say to base bids on the pictures provided but you don't actually provide pictures of these Batman lots you are selling. You're telling me all three lots had the exact same comics in Newsstand in the middle of a run? -

If anything we are selling was relisted it would be due to non payment. Look at these, you can see that these 3 are the same run, but not the same books. If you look at the pics or the custom sku#, you will see the books are different as is the sku. We have a warehouse and a huge volume of batman comics... We have 8 more of these runs right now for anyone interested who wants to help spare us the suspicion of selling an item or run identical to something we have sold in the past... As I stated, these comics are common so I don't believe things are being re-sold incorrectly or suspiciously. What I am saying is for a seller to state "look at the pictures" to determine a grade and then re-use the same pictures over and over is...interesting. Especially if the average grade of lot of comics changes. To me, all three of these look the same, considering the spacing and overlap of comics; very difficult to get it this close 3 times in a row. -

That same run of Batman sold 3 times over the past month or so: They appear to constantly get inventory so multiple lots of this same blah run of Batman isn't out of the question. However, they are using the same pictures in each listing, even with the average grade changing slightly (so their nonsense about using the pictures to bid accordingly is bunk). And don't forget, they block for "bad vibes": Considering all of the above, I wouldn't go near them. -

Copper's Heating/Selling Well on Ebay
manetteska replied to fastballspecial's topic in Copper Age Comic Books
Not really, I’ve never found them in the wild or for cheap Interesting; and you're out there a lot. I've seen tons of Vanguard #2. I'd say that, Cheval #1, and Alien Worlds are the ones I've seen the most. -

Why do I only have two weeks to ship back CGC's mistake?
manetteska replied to Joel0109's topic in Comics General
So... CGC should just know when you're on vacation? No, not even close. -
Why do I only have two weeks to ship back CGC's mistake?
manetteska replied to Joel0109's topic in Comics General
Perhaps I'm in the minority but a customer should not have to jump through hoops due to a company's neglect. The expectation should be receiving a quality (or non-damaged) product -- not lining up vacations, contacting customer service, contacting them again when you're back home, because if something does happen the company doesn't stand behind it's product for longer than 2 weeks. -

manetteska replied to Joel0109's topic in Comics General
According to some two weeks is more than enough time; you should be lucky you get 14 days. How dare you leave your house when you know a shoddy CGC product is en-route. -
Our Recent Experience Selling Comics Through Mycomicshop
manetteska replied to thehumantorch's topic in Comics General
Is there a minimum potential buy price or maximum mileage to have an in-person examination? -
I second all of this. I picked up a pulp at Windy City that was interesting and put it back in the box. I came back the next morning (basically only a few hours of "show time" since I put it down) and it was gone. Same exact thing happened last year at Windy City; I didn't learn my lesson.

Anyone else having issues with eBay the past few days? I'll look up a comic then go to SOLD and it will say 0 items found. I then switch to COMPLETED and see a mix of sold and unsold items. Now, depending on what I look up, even the COMPLETED filter doesn't work properly. Example: American Splendor 1 0 completed listings Then switch to Terapeak:
