Some quick replies: Nothing much, if anything at all. At least until you hit a certain (high) mark. NPBs are not really hurting eBay in the slightest; eBay immediately takes on the FVF, even if you never get paid. Wonder if sometimes sellers forget to open a case and get that $ back. There is, but I believe you have to have a store to do that. I have also had several instances where a person will BIN and then send me a note saying they will pay in a few days -- and those transactions have worked out perfectly -- so I also don't want to lose that business. I just had a NPB last week; closed the case, credited my FVF, and hit relist. Took out another $0.30 to list it. If there is away around that, please let me know so I can use it on this most recent item.

Maybe you should send him a long note on how to pay properly. If I thought it would do any good, I would. (Or maybe I'll wait until the NPB cases closes.) Small quibble: Why if a buyer hits my BIN item and never pays do I get charged to relist the item?

Add this wanker: willpau_v8vdn Offered me a fair price on one of my items (with a long note on how to pack properly) which I accepted a few hours later. It's now been a week and no payment and no response to messages. Did some digging and found he bought a very similar item to mine 2 days later; guessing that's why I'm not getting paid. Opening case now....

To echo Hector I saw 1 dealer with Valiant wall books -- a Harbinger #1 w/o coupons and creased/tore and a Harbinger #2 as well. I found a box of Valiants at another dealer with everything "key" missing except for BS #7 (which is a stretch). I wondered if there was a Valiant shortage at this show because: 1. No one brings them anymore 2. No one heard of the news 3. They were brought but picked by the time I got there (as in the case of the 1 long box) I did some digging at C2E2 and found these Pre-Unity Valiant comics.The Solar 3 and Harbinger 3 were on a wall the rest in boxes. I saw zero Eternal Warrior 4 or Rai 0s. One dealer said his boss told him to bring any key Valiants out of backstock only to realize they had hardly any. A few dealers mentioned the Bloodshot/Harbinger movie news and seemed interested/excited. Dan Nice pick-ups. I wonder if you got to those before me or if I overlooked them. I did see the early Harbingers at Zapps; almost bought the #1 but there was a decent-sized defect on the cover. Very sad about the Magnus #12; still don't have a copy of that one.

Combo packs, Boba Fett AF variant, Ales Kot ..... the usual.

That's an awesome haul! The pictures hide some flaws but I am very happy with my purchases; picked up several copies of comics I've never owned. Now to hunker down and sell before I die under a mountain of X-Men 221.

From C2E2: From elsewhere: For never finding any good Star Wars stuff ever, I randomly found a stack of 42's, and they're newsstand "variants".

Congratulations on the sale, but holy carp, that is an insane outlier. Thanks! It's also an insanely high grade copy. Did Divad just admit that it was an outlier? This makes me want to start listing some raw 9.8 books on eBay..... though the idea of having a buyer paw over a raw 9.8 book and send it back to me , with a newly incurred spine tic and/or fingerprints on a black cover (etc etc) ....for a refund, is what is holding me back. Did you get those 9.9 copies graded yet?

Did you find that Hulk 181 in a HPB, too? That Showcase 37 looks familiar....

Awesome thread! To the packing up: how many empty (hopefully) boxes did you end up taking back?

And lo, many underwear were ruined this day.

Very nice.

Divad's doing pretty well with this one, especially w/ 5 days to go: X-Factor 24

I had two copies of Avenging Spider-Man #9, the other's a 9.8 too. :thumbsup: Very nice; going to sub a Harbinger 1 myself and hoping for the same result. Had a small batch come back yesterday; 5/5 9.8: FIRESTORM 23 FIRESTORM 24 OUTCAST 1 X2 ENORMOUS 1

Plus eBay bucks.

Coupon submission? You're missing one.

Great, packers was a winner on one of my auctions this past Sunday. No payment yet, they are the only ones not to pay so far. NPB case opened. Blocked. -slym Yeah, I'm out almost a grand from him/her. Not to mention stringing me along with eChecks for an additional week or so.

Are you having a non payment issue? Something is "up" with this eBayer. Buying and only paying for some things, never responding to messages, sometimes responding to NPB cases opened, and now not shipping out things he/she sold: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=packers1181&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2776 My eCheck is still pending. Email received today that the bank declined the eCheck. Unless you like your items being bought and put in limbo, add packers1181 to your lists.

I couldn't even get that for my 8.5 at megacon Something about ebay evidently compels people to overpay for movie hype books that are readily available for cheaper at other venues for some reason. Go figure. -J. You mean it's not shilling?

For any Netflix shows, how is it determined if they are "good enough" for another season? Do they dive into the data enough to see X new subscribers joined in a certain time period and X/3 of them watched Daredevil and extrapolate that into DD revenue? Or is it just the basic watch count for all subscribers? (or other?)

That is insane...for a raw copy... Time to break out my short box of Rai #0's out! Yeah, Something looks fishy on that. Here is a 9.8 Rai 0 9.8 You called "fishy" on a divad sale.

I bought a single comic from him not too long ago. Was (somehow) accidentally over-charged on my invoice. (Similar to a post I saw by KPR [i think that's who it was] about a handling fee?). Now that I look back on the PM, the total was for: "the book, S&H, and fees". I pointed out the error/over-charge, he re-ran the numbers, and it was good after that.

Are you having a non payment issue? Ditto. Pays for some...doesn't pay for others. Looks like he/she is on quite a buying spree. Opened a non-payment case yesterday; have an e-Check very early this morning. Hope there are funds to back it up.
