nice

Thank you. That is it.

CGC uses the term so why are you picking on richie? Not picking on anyone. I merely asked a legitimate question based upon a thread about him and that particular subject some years ago. Unless I'm mistaken there was a considerable argument about his ebay descriptions. Of course I may have imagined it

My third 'double'

This name rings a bell from years ago. Is this the fellow who blurs the line between restoration, and what he calls 'conservation'?

Barton's books are beautiful, his service is first class and he is a gentleman. Looking forward to buying more from him in the future

Oh..Vienna? This means nothing to me

Yes

They are nice to have and eminently collectible but they are not rare per se, although the more key the issue the more desirable in a double, triple, quad etc. Personally I love 'em

Two from the Tongie Farm collection;

My very first Double. From 'Tongie Farm'

Not saying anything new when I say that Andy is a solid & reliable buyer.

I consider Dwayne a friend here on the Boards. I have sold to him on several occasions, and he is 100% solid & reliable.

It's a pleasure to deal with Keith.

Mark is a nice chap, and easy to work with. Welcome in my sales threads anytime.

Solid reliable buyer

Rob is a gentleman, and a pleasure to work with

Hopefully within the next 12-24 hours or so, I will be listing a bit of a miscellaneous hotch-potch sale of these kind of items; Some CGC SS books (Bronze age horror) inc. a TOMB OF DRAC # 1 signed by Adams. Some very HG cartoon books, a couple of very nice ex-CGC crack-outs Superman books and some misc. Silver age DC raw books. Features of the sale inc. free shipping to anywhere on the raw books.

Hi. I'm thinking of selling off a complete EC back catalogue of reprint books. These were the faithful reprints that were produced in the early 90's in softback annual form. Each issue contains 5 issues of a particular EC issue in its entirety plus covers. I have a lot of these (every individual EC title, every issue) and it would be a lot of work to actually put these up with photos etc. So I would very much appreciate some feedback via pm only as to whether there might be any interest here. If they are something members would be interested in, it would be worth me doing it. We are talking titles like HAUNT OF FEAR, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, VAULT OF HORROR, SHOCK SUSPENSE STORIES, CRIME SUSPENSE STORIES, CRIME PATROL, WAR AGAINST CRIME, FRONTLINE COMBAT, TWO-FISTED TALES, M.D., IMPACT, PANIC, PIRACY etc. I would very much appreciate feedback as to whether to list them. Many thanks. G.

I just wanted to give a shout out to The Boards in general, and endorse what a great online resource this place is. I'll never know for sure but I think I may have averted a disaster. In the last 24 hours I spotted a great book which I really wanted on ebay. The price was high, well high for me, over $450. I approached the seller about flexibility on price and after some negotiation we agreed on a price with shipping of $425. Now I really really want this book however there were two things bothering me. Firstly the nature of the guy's messages. Very reticent, quite terse, one & two word messages, literally. Considering I was doing my best to shove a heap of dollars in his hand, his replies were at best abrupt. I'm not expecting literary prose in messages, but a little bit of basic friendliness and civility especially when you are spending a fair amount of money with someone is not too unreasonable is it? Secondly there was something that bothered me about the ebay handle. I recognised the name but couldn't place it. I racked my brains and tried to remember if I had ever done business with this person before but I had not, yet the name was giving me a bad feeling. About an hour ago I received a message asking if I wanted the book, yes or no? I hadn't paid because of the time difference etc. I replied I would be paying in a few hours, when funds come thru'. This I confess was just a stalling tactic because there was still something niggling at me...and then I found it. I just noticed the guy's name is on the probation list for previous questionable practice. I'm really gutted because I wanted the book but ignoring sound advice/warnings from this Board is asking for trouble. It may well have been the sale would have proceeded without a hitch. I'll never know, but I'm not prepared to take that chance. Thanks to these Boards.
