The listing is "as is - no returns." If the buyer receives everything in the listing, how do they get out of this?

Well, I paid $8,000 for a Creepy #1, so there's that....

Stu?

Update: USPS tracking said "Package delivered 7:22 PM" on August 5th. My wife's friend contacted lady who bought my house on August 6th to set a convenient time for pickup and was told no package was delivered. I went back into USPS tracking and it now said "Package returned." Huh? So I tried calling Hot Flips again and this time someone answered. I was told yes it was coming back to him and he would send it to the right address. Had a long conversation with him about all of the problems caused by Covid. Very nice guy - not sure if he was the owner as I really don't know that much about Hot Flips. Anyway, all is good.

Yes I called the 800 number and left a message. No return call.

No. That's the only thing I didn't do. Anyway, the package got delivered last night. I don't know and have never met the people who bought my old house. I was able to get name and phone number from the real estate agent who sold the house. I texted her and she was very nice. A friend of my wife's is going to get in contact with her and pick up my package today. She will go to a pack n mail type place and ship it to me UPS or Fedex. USPS is really screwed up right now.

Thank you. My old address is 250 miles away. I have sent a message to the phone number I have for the people that bought the house, asking them if a friend of my wife's can pick up the package. I hope they reply. I have tried contacting Hot Flips in every way possible to see if they can help - calling, leaving a message, e-mailing, sending a message on their FB page, completing the "Contact us" form on their website. No response. I updated my address on their website immediately after receiving the order confirmation e-mail. I replied to their order confirmation e-mail with an explanation and my new address. I have heard nothing back, nada. This is not the Hot Flips I so fondly remember. Yes, it is my fault, but I tried to correct it immediately. No help from them.

Thank you!

I ordered some mylar archives from Hot Flips on July 18th. I have not ordered from them since moving to Spring, TX in 2016. I received an order confirmation from them on the 18th with my old Hurst, TX address. Oops! My fault! I immediately replied to their e-mail with my correct address. I fixed the address in my Hot Flips account. I called them on the 20th about the address error. I have been following the USPS tracking number every day. Today I see that the package is out for delivery to my old address. Am I screwed? Trying to figure out what I can do at this point. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I had two 8.5's. Kept the best one and sold the other on Heritage. It sold for $956 - no quite $1,000, but close.

I like this one. Alf not so much.

No problem. You couldn't carry Howard's jockstrap.

No worries, Elk. Calling Howard a pervert after his death just doesn't work for me. And for that, you don't have to worry about me ever selling to you again.

Yes, and Lizards knew exactly who I was referring to when I said Eggs Ackley, which everyone knows was his board name.

When you call a deceased well respected board member a pervert, you are not leaving a lot to the imagination as to how "you think."

Well, Your name was Mike when I sold you some books.

Go to the Unofficial underground comics thread. I attempted to explain it all there.

Excellent post. Thank you. My reference to Eggs certainly meant Howard. I had over 1.000 PM's with him over the years. He was a great friend and mentor for me regarding underground comics.

Thanks Mike.

Larry and Sharon published Cherry 23X and Cherry 23 in 2019, nearly 20 years after cherry 22 was published. Cherry 23X was limited to only 200 copies and is not easy to find. CGC has incorrectly listed Kitchen Sink Press as the publisher of the two graded copies of 23X (Cherry Comics is the publisher). Both graded copies are SS 9.8. The first one sold on Ebay for $200. I thought that was high, and wasn't even aware of it until after it sold. The second one came up on Ebay, and I bid $308 early on to make sure I would win since I was not going to be around when the auction finished. I was shocked to learn that I lost when the winner got it for $313. Crazy! This year, they apparently teamed up with Golden Apple Comics to publish limited edition variant covers with Peach Momoko art. There is one trade "Legacy edition" cover and three virgin covers. They also published a Legacy edition with the Cherry Poptart #1 cover. All books contain all stories from the first printing of #1. All books with Peach Momoko (one trade, three virgin) are sold out. I had never heard of Peach Momoko before, but am very impressed with the art for these covers.

So underground comics are for perverts? Eggs Ackley was a pervert?

I will be posting more in "The Official Underground Comix thread." Where is that? Why, it's in the Comic Magazines section, even though 90% of underground comics are not magazine size. Why are underground comics in the Magazine thread? Ask CGC. Apparently they hate underground comics and hide then where they are least likely to be found. I would love to have someone from CGC explain the reasoning.

Yes. About a month ago. This cover sold out in less than 5 minutes. Apparently there are more Peach Momoko fans than Cherry fans.

Sorry. I buy Cherry for investment only. The comics I bought 10 years ago are now worth 1/2 what I paid for them.
