  3. Rules: 1. First in thread or PM gets the book; timestamp will be used if necessary. 2. Payment via PayPal. 3. Shipping is $15 for the first slab, +$3 each additional. 4. Shipping to US addresses only at this time. 5. No returns on graded books. 6. Payment due within 5 business days of thread close; I will send invoices at that time. 7. No Hall of Shame or Probation buyers. 8. I will entertain offers in PM. 9. I do not have a scanner for slabs; additional pictures can be provided if requested (sorry for the glare and reflection).
  4. the blonde hair kid. He told me this once. "THE" kid?
  5. 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.
  6. 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?
  7. 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.
  8. I know everyone likes the pile-up, but (assuming the timeline and crickets and lack of tracking are true) if the seller received payment and never responded nor shipped for > 30 days, what is the buyer supposed to do? Probably assumes sending yet another PM would also go unread. I don't know if one can "start the clock" on January 1st if that shipping arrangement is not agreed to by both parties.
  9. true, although I couldn't locate which groups I had a book in and just searched the title and it came right up! Yes, but it's still not the same. 3 quick search "differences" where eBay is better/easier than FB: 1. People who post a picture of an item for sale on FB without any text; can't search for that. 2. Live auctions on FB; can't search those (as far as I know). 3. If I search "Famous Funnies 209" on eBay (for example), I will get all listings on eBay matching that string. How many different groups do I need to search/join to find all listings on FB?
  10. It’s got problems but it’s all there.
  11. Just about any venue is viable for buying and selling comics. What makes eBay the top contender (for now) is how simple it is to search for a particular book (or genre). As far as I know, none of the other places compare (and Amazon doesn’t count).
  12. It's not good a sign when your pull-quote has a typo.
  13. Very easy to work with and packed very well. Happy to give my money to him!
  14. Says “cover only”; I did see a cover proof on Heritage but no actual comics.
  15. Those auctions were insane. Especially given the outer-space pictures.
  16. I don't think so. I believe that's a book that Overstreet is thought to have included to help secure his copyright against anyone reproducing his listings. Could be wrong about that, as I frequently am! You mean a Paper Towns type deal? I saw it in the Gerber PJ, that’s why I asked.
