  1. I'm quoting this just in case you fellas missed it and require some proper legal advice. but jokes aside, with all statements provided, both side of claims seem legit. All of us as outsiders and not being there when the event took place, really cannot call for who is right or wrong. Unless one of us has an eye over the book from point A to point B and could pin point where exactly went wrong. Like to highlight again that one of the suggestions to sell it on a neutral platform and split the difference (or the entire book sale) would be a good idea to resolve this case, since either party would not want to keep the book. Instead of having this go on and then one party would be forced to foot the bill and with the anger penned up within....it's bad for the blood pressure. Just sharing. I had somewhat a similar unsolvable case years back. Bought a low grade Action Comics from a rather reputable seller here. Promised at least a 2.0 or 3.0. Had him sent direct to another trusted boardie to help me with CGC sub because that first seller wouldn't do it. Came back a 0.5 missing 3 pages incomplete. I notified first seller once, and he replied "Oh? That shouldn't be." and that's it. I decided not to pursue. No point. There were too many loopholes. And it was me who chose to buy, chose the mailing option, chose the handler. I can only chose to accept in the end. I've spoke to one of you before, really nice and understanding chap. Hope all these could be resolved in a calm manner.
  2. I think many of the senior collectors would like to know that there books are going to a good home and not to another reseller trying to make a buck out of their childhood treasures. Which was why many would assume higher or unknown prices till they could convince themselves that the buyer is a genuine collector. It's very funny. Sometimes both of you just clique and you didn't even need to ask and discount would be given.
  3. Make him an offer but exclude the XM1. Once you clinch the lot, then come back to negotiate for the XM1. Sometimes, certain sellers need to see that you are willing to pay or is a genuine buyer or sort to kick start the engine. If all else fails for the XM1, no love lost cos that elusive figure in that seller's mind would definitely be one that you could never match anyway. No love lost.
  4. Then again, if you ever ever ever thinking about throwing a mega mega discount for the remainings, be sure to sound me out. I belong to the group who's badly hit by the economy downturn, but still love comics.
  5. I think they are pretty alright. But perhaps the economy hasn't been really good lately. Everything is going up, including comic values, but not our income. So spending power is a little lagging. Those who are not affected would rather seek higher grades then to spend that kind of money for a low grader. BUT, that's just my take since you asked. If you want a quick sale, you may want to price it a little lower than what you initially expected.
