ASM 101

I thought you just said you filled out an application plus gave them your resume.

 

It depends but yes in most cases I do both so I have a better chance of getting a interview

 

Either your idea doesn't work very well since you don't get very many interviews or you make a very bad first impression when you hand off your resume. Maybe you're giving off some weird vibes to the manager when you drop off your resume.

I'm not sure about weird vibes but I'm always nervous when I really want a job.

Forget about risks for a minute. Did the buyer of the book know that you used a stock photo? If not, do you think maybe you should contact the buyer and ask if he wants to proceed with the sale without seeing the actual book he is buying? If so, let us know his response. If not, why not?

 

Yes they are aware it's a stock photo but I haven't asked the second question. I did give him the option of a refund should he not be satisfied.

 

If the buyer knew that it was a stock photo, then no harm, no foul. However, you make it sound like you're going above and beyond by offering a refund if the buyers not happy. You're not. Any buyer on eBay can return anything whether the seller offers/allows refunds or not.

 

I'm still not sure why that is as people can take advantage of that and I'm not saying I'm going above and beyond I just don't advertise it because people will take advantage of it.

There is no defense a seller can make with a stock photo and no description for a "not as described" return if the buyer chooses initiate one.

What if the copy you send the buyer is 9.4 and they wanted something higher? No Defense.y

What if they find one cheaper over the next 30 days and initiate a return on yours and just say it was not as described? No Defense.

What if in 30 days they just would rather have the money for any reason? Again, no defense.

 

I'm not saying any of these would happen, but you've seen them all before (some first hand).

There is not just a little risk. as you say, but A LOT of risk. Especially for someone like you who is $1200 in the hole after 2+ years of trying.

 

The people that bought from me have decent feedback and one has more then I do. You do bring up good points except for the last one, you can't return or ask for a refund because of buyer's remorse.

 

First of all, your feedback number is not that high, so to say that someone else has a higher rating not only isn't impressive, it shouldn't be used to make a buying decision. Second, people return stuff for buyers remorse all the time, they just use another excuse. Like it or not, it's part of doing business on eBay, so you just have to deal with it. Finally, the irony of you saying that buyers shouldn't be allowed to return things for buyers remorse (and they shouldn't) on one hand, but then offering to conduct a sale off eBay in your eBay listing is more than a little ironic and humorous. Finally, you don't need to advertise that you accept returns, because anyone whose been on eBay for any length of time knows that is meaningless; meaning they already know they can return their purchase for a refund.

 

No my feedback isn't high but I'm not just starting out either. I know people refund stuff for buyers remorse you just have to ask questions till they admit to it or slip up. I know refunds are a part of ebay and doing business but my point is to minimize it as much as I can.

 

Yes I'm glad you found that ASM 129 so humorous but that had nothing to do with buyer's remorse I just tried to get less fees taken off of it.

 

Why do you always need to have things spelled out for you? Seriously, how many dot to dot puzzles have to be done for you? My entire point about your ASM 129 listing and buyers returning purchases for buyers remorse is simply that they are both wrong, not that one has anything to do with the other. Also, if a buyer wants to return a purchase, let them. You're not Perry Mason or Joe Friday, you don't need to investigate why they want to return an item. If they want to return something, take it back. Not only is it just easier, but if you give buyers hassles about returns, you're just asking for negative feedback. If you think selling is tough now, wait until you try it with a couple of negative feedbacks on your record. I think it was Ed (ft88) who is a better seller than you will ever be if you live 100, stated that even Target will let you return a once worn dress, the least he can do is take back a comic book with subjective grading. And he knows how to grade. You, on the other hand, not so much.

 

 

Why? Because if I don't understand something I ask and while it may seem easy and basic to you it's not to me. Also you have no trouble bashing me for anything so I'll ask you this, if you're memory is perfectly fine why do I need to repeat myself at least 50 times?

 

I investigate why people ask for returns because I don't like being taken advantage of, if it's a legitimate problem then fine if it's not I have a problem. I realize grading is subjective if it wasn't there would no need for third party grading companies.

 

Oh, cry me a river. First, my memory is far from perfect. Second, nobody asked you to repeat yourself, you just do it. Third, just because I, or anyone else understands something, doesn't mean it's basic or easy. It means we worked to learn it. You, on the other hand, are content to ask the same questions umpteen times, instead of applying yourself and learning a concept.

I find it interesting how you became defensive so quickly yet tell me to man up. The reason I repeat myself is because I don't remember if a question has been asked or not and I don't know how to link someone to the answer. No that's exactly what you make it out to be, when you find something simple you ask why don't I know it but when I ask you the same question all of a sudden you said " Doesn't mean it's easy or basic" I understand that I ask the same question a lot but there are also things I've followed from other boardies.

I thought you just said you filled out an application plus gave them your resume.

It depends but yes in most cases I do both so I have a better chance of getting a interview

I believe you said that you were applying at McDonalds today. How did that go?

 

Like it always does I guess. I asked for the manager and gave him my resume.

 

McDonalds takes resumes? I worked at KFC years ago and all I did was fill out an application

 

The McDonalds in my area always have Now Hiring signs, and all you do is fill out an application. You're not applying at Microsoft, McDonalds doesn't need a resume. Fifty bucks says he never even walked in the door.

 

 

I'll only take that bet if you promise a .50 cents return if I lose

 

As far as I know, McDonalds is always hiring, but in the wild chance the one he "applied" to isn't, there are several other options available when you have no real responsibilities. Burger King, Taco Bell, Wendy's etc etc.

 

Sorry, man, 50 cents is 50 cents! Seriously, though, he knows all those opportunities are out there, he just doesn't want to work any more than absolutely necessary. Is there any of us reading this thread, besides Gabe, who doesn't know that you can be the biggest doofus in the world, and still work 40 hours or more a week, somewhere, doing something? But you have to WANT to do it, and Gabe very clearly doesn't.

I never said that I don't want to work 40 hours a week but I did say that physical jobs would drain me way too quickly.

Forget about risks for a minute. Did the buyer of the book know that you used a stock photo? If not, do you think maybe you should contact the buyer and ask if he wants to proceed with the sale without seeing the actual book he is buying? If so, let us know his response. If not, why not?

The people that bought from me have decent feedback and one has more then I do. You do bring up good points except for the last one, you can't return or ask for a refund because of buyer's remorse.

Others have said it already, but a buyer can use any excuse they want for a refund. An inexperienced buyer may just say that they have changed their mind, but almost all buyers would simply say it was not as described. Buying from a presale severely limits the seller being able to effectively combat the reason for return (no pics, no description, iffy delivery date, etc.).

A presale limits the sellers ability to put the book quickly into a buyers hand (another reason fast shipping is a plus) which gives them less time to think about all that money they just spent and less time to look for a better deal... especially on a variant speculation purchase.

 

I hope you get your money on these, I really do, but I would stay away from this type of potential headache in the future.

 

I agree when this deal works out it will be good. I'll speak to ebay about it because from what I remember you can say changed your mind but in most cases the seller will win. Yes you're right though it is a lot of things to consider.

FWIW, I was friendly with a McD's Asst. Mgr. a couple years ago and his location only takes resumes. If they like the resume they call you for an interview, if they are considering you, then they give you an application.

I've been told that as well so I guess I'll find out if they call me.

Exactly, who turns in a resume for McDonalds? Gabe, quit being lazy and fill out an application instead of just dropping off a resume.

Was that sarcasm? and just for the record you need to fill out both a application and hand in a resume at least I had to.

Comics sold

 

Harambe Variant 2nd copy

 

Very nice. What Archie book are you looking at?

 

#4

This is interesting. Would this be from the original series or the more recent Mark Waid reboot?

The original series

people do this all of the time

 

 

Yes but do they win the paypal case?

I've overpaid more than this in the past and yes it's retail but with patience I would have found a buyer you just don't see that.

 

Again, you do not have the inventory or capital to be buying books that will grow long term or require patience before finding a buyer. You do not want your cash tied up in only a couple of books. You need to get in and get out and move on.

 

I was talking about the asm 101 and I had 38 dollars tied up in that comic.

 

38 dollars that you should have spent on the back issue bins at your lcs. You would have never seen a meaningful return on that ASM 101 book. Whatever profit you envisioned receiving for that book would have been dwarfed by the amount of profit you would have seen by flipping cover price or less books for 15 to 30 dollars in the time it took you to flip that ASM 101.

 

Patience shouldn't be in your vocabulary right now.

 

 

It's not it's a WIP and I do check back issues bins at the lcs's. I also have store credit with one of them.

 

What is a WIP?

 

If you have store credit perhaps you should I dunno maybe spend that on inventory. I don't think the 3 listings for comics you have on eBay right now is gonna get you to that million dollar deal anytime this century.

WIP stands for Work in Progress and no the comics I have listed won't get me that million dollar comic but it will pay off the debt I'm in.

Is this type of sale illegal or against eBay's policies? I honestly don't know, but it doesn't seem like such a big deal to me as long as expectations are set and met.

 

I wouldn't personally do it, but I know a lot of people on these boards who will pre sale slabs they don't have in hand yet. I know that's not the same thing exactly, but it's still selling something you don't have in hand.

 

 

If everything works out I'm just glad for him that he made some money off the books.

 

I asked ebay if it was ok and they said it was.

 

As long as they say it's OK, I see no problem with it and you made a good deal on this one

Yeah that listing with the asm 129 got me a warning so this time I asked.

He's been told this repeatedly here and privately. The response is generally akin to him nodding his head in agreement while simultaneously clicking the button on his next "big" deal AKA pink variant ASM's and mid grade restored semi keys.

 

Frankly it's like dealing with a child who you've told again and again not to touch the hot stove.

I paid 33 dollars shipped per copy of the harambe variants and the asm 101 was 38 dollars shipped.

Sold comics

 

Harambe variant (1 copy)

 

Price paid (including shipping) and how much you sold it for, accounting for selling fees.

 

Price Paid $33USD

 

Total after fees: $111usd

That's a pre-order, correct?

 

Correct

 

 

So you're saying that you bought the book on pre-order for $33. Meaning the seller does not have the book. That also means that you do not have the book in hand. Then you sold the book that the original seller does not even have yet to someone else? Is that correct?

 

So, Original Seller ---> Sold to you for $33 (but does not have the book) --> You (who does not have the book) then sold the book to someone else for $111.

 

Is that correct?

 

Almost the seller already has the comics and will ship out around nov 2nd and yes I don't have the comic on hand that's why it's a pre-order. As soon as I get it I will ship it to them should something happen I will give them a refund but the guy that purchased it knows how pre-orders work.

I hope that the person you purchased these 2 from is reputable.

 

I hope that person finds out about this "Pre-Sale" and undercuts him. Selling the books himself to the buyer. Won't be an issue since they are apparently not even shipping until November 2nd.

 

I do know this person and this is my first pre-sale I've tried. He said that they will be shipping and everything is still a go. Why are you treating me like I'm a bad guy? Stores do this all the time and I'm happy to try this.

 

Because you are pre-selling on top of another person's pre-sale. You are not a store. You are not a facilitator. You don't get to do a pre-sale. Why add in extra layers of uncertainty and potential problems. How about selling books you actually have instead of books you bought from someone else that they don't even have yet.

 

Exactly. Does the buyer that you sold the book to know that you don't even have the book in hand? How do you KNOW what grade the book is actually in? You're grading skills are suspect at best. How do you justify selling a book at a given grade that you not only don't possess, but that you've never even actually seen? Is there no limit to the stupid things that you do? It's not enough that 80% of your flips are losers, but now your flipping books that you DON'T EVEN HAVE! Why don't you try using your head for something other than a handy place to wear a hat, because sooner or later, one of these experiments is going to blow up in your face, and there won't be a sympathetic boardie to bail you out.

 

For the comic I know they can get damaged so I didn't specify any grade since I'm not sure myself all I told them is as soon as I get it I will ship it to them and before you accuse me of something at least check my listing because nowhere in it did I say it would come back a certain grade.

 

I'm not accusing you of anything. I'm SAYING that your selling tactics at best suck and are borderline unethical. Keep it up, and sooner or later you are going to bite off more than you can chew.

I know that there are risks with this.

This type of 3 party presale has potential disaster written all over it, only this time it's not in bright pink crayon; you really have to think about all that could go wrong.

Make certain to hold the sellers money in case of a return. Probably one of the last things you need is negative Ebay feedback and Paypal putting holds on your account.

Ebay has very specific rules when it comes to doing presales. I would brush up on those before ever trying to do this type of sale again.

 

Also, make certain you put "Stock Photo" for any listing like this in future.

Yes the listing had stock photo's and I asked ebay if this was ok. I also won't spend any money that they give me because it's not mine.
