  1. Hi no HOS or probation users

    I accept paypal as payment 

    US only

    any graded book will be $15 and raw book $4 for shipping. I will combine shipping on raw books

    the first :takeit: in thread will trump message negotiations 

  2. with regards to the back issue sign, there is a store near me that has covered their back issue boxes up and they are not for sale. Her reasoning is she feels she was losing out on too much money. Now here is the deal, she will never go through the inventory. I know for sure too as she had long boxes in the back not out for sale that hadn't been opened in like 30+ years. Best part they were part of a water leak and got damaged. There was a minty tomb of dracula 10 in one of them I know about. totally ruined.

    If you aren't going to keep up with things, just move on or step up and do the hard work that needs done.

  3. So where he and myself live in WV, we are in a pretty low populated state, 1.76 million this year, down from last year.

    because of that, places to buy comics here are somewhat sparse. There are local shows and 1 bigger con each year. The thing is the local dealers that set up at the small shows are aware of him and what I understand avoid him.

    I would think if you are angering the local spots, shows and cons, your pool of potential sellers is small and shrinking, just like our population.

  4. I use it as I like the collection data system, but I do find the valuation to be off. It seems pretty high on raw books. For instance I am working on a batman run currenty. I have 388-713 and then between 300-399 missing 30 books. Now there are some decent books in that run, but I don't know if their value is actually the 3600 the report is showing based on the grades I entered.

    I think the books which are the keys are pretty accurate but the random issues that show it to be 11  in a particular grade for example when its more like 3-4, and there are lots of those, inflate the value pretty high.

    I need to take a screen shot of that guy so I know when he comes to any table that I'm manning to instantly close for the day. There's NO WAY the sale to that guy would be worth the hassle.

    he lives in WV not too far from me. His range appears to be OH, KY, VA and NC based on the videos I have seen of his. He was at the most recent heroes con so if you are there, you will probably see him. He wears a go pro looking camera strapped to his chest and is usually wearing glasses and a hat, so looks a bit different in person than in the videos.
