  1. Yep. Can turn random 3rd prints and first appearances of one-hit villains into Hulk 181 pretty easily.
  2. I’m well aware of that particular thread. If you were you’d know recommending it is hilarious. As I post nearly all my modern newsstands in there. You should give it a look see. I wasn’t trying to take away from anyones books, which I’d love to have in my collection. Beautiful copies and a relatively low print run. Add in the first appearance of a up and coming female Latina super hero. Great cover as well. I was only commenting on this thread about preferring newsstand editions of those because key modern newsstands are selling for record prices. If given a choice I’m sure you’d prefer they were newsstands as well. Whether your neutral, for or against them they’re on FIRE!! Yep, I see you post random newsstands there all the time; that is why I was so surprised you didn't know about it.
  3. Our deepest apologies; here is the place you should then look to be impressed:
  4. Looking for answers to this as I, admittedly, am coming at this one-sided. Why are we asked to pay the USPS for insurance to deliver our packages? Delivering mail is, essentially, its main job. When I go to get an oil change they don't ask me if I want insurance in case they break my car. When I go out to eat, the restaurant doesn't ask if I would like to purchase insurance in the event they undercook my food and I get sick. (I may not have this all correct) Doctors, etc have insurance in case they mess something up; they pay for that, the patient doesn't (though it may be baked in to the cost of a procedure a bit).
  5. Yeah, looks right (for EBay land). The method is what I usually see. The odd thing here is that the order, with shipping, is $22.50 for 3 items, easily divisible by 3 to get $7.50 each. But they have 7.49, 7.49 and 7.52. And they wonder why we don't like to trust eBay with our finances. Trusting a company -- who repeatedly changes policies (usually in a negative way for the seller) and offers vague information about said changes -- with our finances, banking information, and personal info is but a small hurdle.
  6. Yes, I did forget to mention those very low hurdles. They were so insignificant - that's why I forgot. It's not a big deal, a bit annoying. A quick adjustment and it's in the rear view. And before, if you wanted your sales proceeds to end up IN your bank account, you had to wait anyway for the PayPal transfer. You're a real special guy, aren't you? Sorry other people's problems are very low hurdles to you, when, in actuality, for those other people, they may be large hurdles. Keep on thinking about ol' #1.
  7. You forgot the part where you can no longer have sales deposited directly into PayPal (if that was your original method) and now must provide eBay with a bank account #. Also, at least when using PayPal, the time for money to show up was instantly, so "a couple of days longer" is quite a bit longer, especially if you have to ship before the money arrives for the item.
  8. This happened to me in April as well, on two packages insured for $500+ each. I opened a case with USPS and both items were located and started moving within a couple days and arrived unharmed and intact. I just opened a case yesterday for my uninsured package; I already received an “initial contact” phone call but this agent did not sound very confident. I don’t know if that’s the usual attitude on cases or a recent development.
  9. Sent Priority to California. Dropped off at PO on 7/27. Arrived at local Distro center 7/31. Radio silence since then. Of course this is a package of 30 comics I was hoping to get graded versus 1 comic I sold on eBay for $20.
  10. TMNT #1 2nd CGC 8.5 --> $1675 Wow; I sold a 2nd print 9.0 in April for $1000 and thought I was doing well.
  11. There’s a new set on eBay where the seller left the original price sticker on for the pics. I love when they do that. Somehow number one was the cheapest.
  12. Now knowing his propensity to disassemble books.... why would any one choose to buy from him? Going only on the selling restored-as-unrestored (and his loose interpretation of restoration), I hope no one on the boards would buy from him in the future. However, the boards are but a small drop in the number of buyers on eBay and Instagram, who are probably wholly uninformed on what happened here.
  13. Wow (on multiple copies); double-wow on the Dope Slaves. I have seen your posts on FB; always great comics, always so many copies. lol. Oh to have that "problem."
  14. Kind of a joke but not. In Death Metal #1 there is a Multiverse version of Batman as a T-Rex dinosaur whose name is "B-Rex". He talks and wears a cowl.
  15. That's Ace the Bat Rex The problem is, I can’t tell if this reply is a joke or not. I didn’t think dinos were very metal; where are the head-banging zombies and women writhing on top of Trans Ams?
