I'd like to know, from those in the know, what is the tipping point between "dirty flipper" and "respected dealer".

He’s just a local flipper You forgot "dirty".

From my perspective, apart from Hector, this was not a good buying show. Even Comics4Less, who usually brings dozens of longboxes at $0.50 and kills, was lackluster. They brought 5 boxes, mostly magazines, and were picked apart like dead whales before the public came in. But it depends what you’re looking for. Apparently Kenosha today was the place to be.

Short notice, but I didn't see an event and I know a few board members are setting up and would appreciate the extra traffic. And potentially a place to post pictures after. When: Saturday, February 9th 10A-5P Where: Dupage County Fairgrounds, 2015 Manchester Rd, Wheaton, IL 60187 How much: $8 GA; kids < 12 FREE Early admission: Available if you purchase your ticket online; gets you in 30 mins early --> https://mightyconshows.com/store?type=attendee See you there!

ID: williscomics Won an auction last Sunday. Sends me a message Wednesday saying payment will be there Thursday or Friday. And here we are on Saturday with no payment. How does the Second Chance offer work, if I wanted to sell to the second highest bidder? Do I have to wait?

This is going well.

I’ve been looking for a decent copy of this since first seeing the cover on the boards.

Anyone know more about a "personal link" to eBay which "refunds" your final value fees? I saw it randomly while relisting on the app yesterday. Maybe I read too quickly.

Do you have the details on the books? Would be interested to see where they go as I have one GA I’m on the fence about.

Closing tonight. Thanks to the buyers.

I should have never looked in this thread.

the blonde hair kid. He told me this once. "THE" kid?

You need to read the other thread to get the full picture dude. Yes, that other thread impacts what happened here because it shows a pattern of shady behavior. Shady behavior or dumb behavior? I get it, backing out of that purchase (and publicly) was a very bad way to start. Perhaps this current PayPal dispute was a way to "get the book and keep the money, too", but if the seller really never replied to messages for 30+ days after accepting payment it's not black-and-white.

The buyer is the one who asked for the book to be held and shipped at a later date, so technically the seller shouldn't even be nominated until 30 days from that date, not the payment date. It is odd though that the buyer says the seller never responded to any message from the time of payment until this thread was created. Yes, the buyer did ask for a later shipping date, but the seller (allegedly) never said yes or no to that date. And never said anything since. So how can that "asked for" date come into play if it was never agreed upon by both parties?

Did you see what he did in the other thread? New guy + shadiness = I’m going to side with the guy who’s been here for years who’s had no issues as a seller No, I did not look at the other threads. I'm looking at the issue at hand; did the other threads impact this transaction? I know Asteroid has been here for some time, but if you send payment and multiple PMs and get radio silence for 30+ days, what do you suggest? Of course, this is assuming the info given by the buyer is accurate.
