  1. with the payment plan thing, shouldn't they have that option via paypal credit to do what they are wanting to do and avoid interest if paid off by the deadline? I would still drop them for asking after the fact, but they should have that option with payments
  2. this guy is local to me and I'll be at the show he was talking about in the video. I've never met him in person, but know several of the people he has talked about in previous videos. He says it like he sees it for sure
  3. This book really doesn't see many sales. I have always liked the cover. My plan is to send it for a press to get that modern book waviness out so it should look super good then. I paid $26 after some rewards so a good pick up I feel
  4. ah the hoffman forums...It's so busy there I'm surprised they had time to notice something you said
  5. with 426 and 429 now in, I only have 2 books to have 390-713 done. I need the other two death in the family books.
  6. yep PC was hot the day I was there on Sunday the 16th, though I went through books a million and it was even hotter. I didn't get anything there this time either as there wasn't anything they had I was looking for. I suspect that mall is just waiting for the last few places to decide to leave.
  7. I just picked this up a few minutes ago, for what I thought was a pretty good price
  8. I forgot to update this. the day before I left, I went to a 3rd store, power comics in conway, about 30 min from our place. lots of cool stuff, several graded books. The highlight was a batman 181 9.2! That was super cool. He had lots of graded early x men and spider man as well. He has an ebay store too. I had to limit my space as I brought an empty backpack with 2 gemini mailers as I was flying. Overall this trip produced 22 raw books and 2 graded books.
  9. Final store at the beach before the trip is over. power comics in conway SC had some pretty cool stuff. He had this too so decided to get it
  10. I like JOCK covers, so when I saw this graded cover he did of tec 1000, I thought it would be cool as something to hang on the wall. I got it while on vacation this week in SC
  11. I didn’t realize this book was a NS until I was adding it to my digital inventory. Got this at the start of my vacation this week at coastal comics in SC.
  12. I went to coastal comics again yesterday and got some more batman books. That said the real surprise is an antique store in myrtle beach called coast to coast. this guy has huge amounts of graded books, as well as raw stuff. I am going back there this week when I have more time to look without the kids complaining
  13. I didn’t know what any of these books were so had to look them up. I guess I probably wouldn’t buy any then
  14. Having just gotten pretty much all of these books since april and having to pay more for them than this amount, I probably would have been happy to have won this lot. I guess the biggest difference was I got to look at many of the books in person and could decide if I wanted them or not. Okay so if we can believe nm is actually that for this lot, there are 2 100+ books, 4 50+ books and 15 20+ books. Given that I have no where locally that has dollar bins, the idea of getting the batman bulk books at that price was not possible unless getting a lot like this.
  15. It all happened pretty fast as I started this around mid april
  16. The mail came today and with 674 and 701 arriving, 608-713 is done! 6 books to go for 404-713 too!
  17. https://officialcomicproline.com/collections/cgc-cbcs-graded-bags they sell resealable ones but they are not mylar https://www.bcwsupplies.com/resealable-bag-for-graded-comics-9-x-14 these are also not mylar. both companies make mylar non resealable versions
  18. I’m 6 books away from 404-713. i need 417, 426-429, and 567. I started mine about 3 month ago but not doing anything more. Gotta commend you for this project
  19. I’m almost done with my batman run I wanted to get. down to like 16 books, I have 2 random modern books to get and then a few of the older books. I’ll post pics once I get it done
  20. So I got this guy today. Just need to wait for it to arrive.
  21. I'm not entirely sure, my wife who has an ebay store got a notification about it recently, so I believe it is something kind of new?
  22. Vacation mode is available for all ebay users now, not just for ebay store users. It’s any easy option to flip on if you’re going to be gone when something may end and disrupt your normal business plans. anyway we can probably talk about other stuff now
  23. Depends on if ebay considers saturday a business day. People should still be aware of where they are going to be if they plan to sell online and it interferes with said sale.
  24. By the description it appears you violated the terms of the listing and ebay would back the buyer without any question. that is what the vacation mode is for on ebay so the seller can maintain their positive metrics
  25. The place that is by my house only sells new titles, but I don’t know what people buy as I have never talked to the people that work there. It appears they sell the main batman title as when I went on thursday to get 136 it was already sold out
