Another message....

The guy obviously has some sort of mental deficiency. I am completely ignoring his messages, which are getting thru' despite me blocking him from bidding on any of my items.

What a fruitloop.   

 

Wow, this brings back memories. The ’hey bro,’ the emojis, the clear mental disconnect. Yikes,

However whilst searching for the ebay blocked user list, I came across this. This is pure gold!

BLOCKED EBAY USER LIST - Numpties, Cretins, Spangles, Divs, Coin Con People Etc | eBay

Speaking of shipping, I found out when you use UPS or FedEx, eBay will wait to deduct the shipping cost from your debit/credit card or bank account after the item is delivered. That part was confusing because at first glance it appeared that shipping was already deducted in the final payout, but that’s only the case when you select USPS for shipping. Maybe I missed that part in the fine print, I’m still not sure why that is. I had to ship a 17 pound box that would have cost $80 (after eBay discount) to ship with USPS, it was only $20 for UPS.

This guy is a tyre-kicker and time-waster of the first order.

He recently bought a book off me then went quiet. I noticed his fb and he appears to be a noodle from way back.

I can't wait to cancel the sale and nuke his feedback.

Tool.

I should have known better as this guy has messaged me before with sycophantic , asking stupid fawning questions. When I had the courtesy to reply, he didn't.

Ebay is just a cesspit of numpties, it really is.

I’m sorry you had to deal with that clown. I wonder how many unpaid strikes he’s up to now. 

Also, impressive prose and vocabulary, very creative!

Now I’m back in the club.

This is only the second 9.8 example in the census, the first example was graded back in 2014.

I heard they found again the largest frog that is either trip enducing or that of making you sick, in Australia recently, called the giant cane toad. They had to wear gloves, I know that.

A Tripwazzer?

At first I thought "red panda" was slang in Australia for fox, but evidently is its own creature.

Something that I wasnt aware of idk

No, we do have foxes, but we just call them foxes. Red pandas are Chinese, and they're awesome little guys. I've hand-fed them before, and they're very neat creatures. 

Now I can’t help but think of this Simpsons clip!

@Cat Sorry if you loath this episode. I always took it as the Simpsons making fun of Americans more than Australians.

Too bad they aren't selling that $39.99 brain transplant they advertise on the back cover anymore. Sounds like this guy could have taken advantage of that.

@Dr. Balls Your prescription for laughter made my afternoon!

Maybe he did! Check out the feedback he left me!

Or (if you are not a newsstand collector, and don’t intend to be) not care about the competitive Registry at all anymore…

Some people have put way too much work into sets to suddenly have slots added for books that are no different indicia-wise from their direct counterparts… or to see newsstands arbitrarily awarded extra points when the Census of GRADED copies will NEVER be accurate enough to reflect actual relative scarcity…  

Keep newsstand in the Pedigree field and leave it at that…

@wytshus

I second this.

Here's my contribution to the preservation of the "Old Label Goodness". I might have more but this is what I've found so far.

 

Wow, OG labels in 9.9 and 10!

Have they still not done that? Was that not the point?

I haven’t seen it in the census yet. And I checked books that I’ve seen on eBay with the newsstand notation.

I really like the red panda.

I thought it was a fox 🦊

Don’t worry, there will be pictures of the Tiger’s butt when the set is assembled!

Just arrived on my doorstep!

My VIP points were about to expire.

Go Cincinnati Bengals!

Will the census start listening Newsstand and Collectors Pack editions separately, like they do for multiple printings?

#165 is one of the funniest comics I’ve ever read

Whoa! Chester sold out, man!

Swamp Thing Annual #3 was the last issue in the my TPB collection, very different. Since I wasn’t familiar with Gorilla Grodd or Congorilla I was a bit lost. 

On 1/7/2023 at 6:52 PM, Jasonmorris1000000 said:

I recommend the Mark Millar issues.  #140-171.  They were collected in TPBs too

Part of me wants to keep my TPB and back issue collection to the essentials, another part of me wants to read the era between the Wrightson/Wein and Moore runs. I’ll put the Millar issues on my list.

I just hope the stories are still good.
