  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. It’s got problems but it’s all there.
  4. 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).
  5. It's not good a sign when your pull-quote has a typo.
  6. Very easy to work with and packed very well. Happy to give my money to him!
  7. Says “cover only”; I did see a cover proof on Heritage but no actual comics.
  8. Those auctions were insane. Especially given the outer-space pictures.
  9. 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.
  10. I think not assigning some grade or at least calling out defects will lead to more returns. As said, scans don’t tell the whole story (nor do fuzzy pictures) which has bidders assuming or hoping for grade X and returning or asking for a partial refund when the comic is in hand and doesn’t align with assumptions.
  11. Is there a quick list of post-St John covers Baker did?
  12. Lol. I meant not also a Baker cover. If GCD is correct, two interior stories.
  13. His screen grading looks ok most of the time. No idea about books in hand though. Though I don't know if it can be dis/proven, looking at the Golden Age items today on eBay, it appears as if some grades have been modified.
