Yes! For safety sake I'll just drop the name of the group... ‎Slabbed comics Buy Sell Or Trade Community Dan

The recent dust-up about finding a book cheaper and backing out that I don't know all the details to is currently being played out on a slabbed for sale group on FB. I'm unclear if I'm allowed to link to it, but it isn't too hard to find. Dan

Very Cool!!!! I'll repost my offering from the other day... Dan

Thanks, Oak! Dan

Finally able to track down a high grade copy that's been on my list! Dan

Plus I just ordered the TPB from Amazon for the reader! Dan

And these boards never cease to amaze! 20 minutes later a fellow boardie hooks me up with a great price on issues 1-3! Thank You!!! Dan

Yeah, I feel like I stole something there. CPW3 does amazing work and it fits SO well with Farlaine! (Might even like his cover more than mine!) Glad to hear a couple of you enjoy the series, and I hope you like this book! I need to jump on the bandwagon and track down #'s 1-3! Sorry to be late to the party! Dan

CPWIII SOL cover all framed up - museum glass - will now join the Boogieman triptych!!!! Dan

Actually putting anyone on the list is a demand by action. It sounds like Rupp started trying to work this out with Mikeggg a year after the sale and after a year of trying brought it here. I have to wonder how it would have been received if Rupp had nominated Mikeggg a year ago. I can only speak for myself, but my response would have been the same. I think it's nuts to assume that a seller has a completely open-ended returns policy in regards to a non-restored book coming back restored if it isn't explicitly stated in their sales thread. And I think it's equally silly to try to force a rule like this on people participating in the Marketplace on this forum. I would assume that most professional sellers would be willing to work with the buyer in a situation like this - if they aren't, well, the buyer is then well within their right to shine a spotlight on the sellers transgression through one of the various discussion threads around here. It doesn't mean, however, that the buyer automatically gets to put the seller on the PL - there needs to be some responsibility on the buyer side as well and no matter how you look at it, waiting a full year before reporting an issue with a purchased item just isn't reasonable. If I buy a book on Amazon, leave the book sitting in a box for a year, then open it up to discover that half the pages are missing, would Amazon oblige me with a refund? Of course not. So you are saying that your word has a time frame ? I'm sorry you disagree mschmidt. I personally would think the sellers here would at least be a step or two higher in standards than the run of the mill Amazon and Ebay sellers where caveat emptor is the fall back excuse. Bob Storms has a return policy in place that covers situations like this. As do I. Even the majority of posters here who think the time frame is too long to do anything about, all state they would at least attempt to make this situation right. Are they all "cuckoo for cocoa puffs" or are their hearts in the right place about what is the correct course of action concerning a situation like this. Please also note I did not "automatically" put anyone on the PL. I went through the same channels and followed the same steps within the stated rules as they are written now. I still want to believe the Marketplace is better than other selling venues. We are better than using caveat emptor and putting a time line on our word. No, what I'm saying is that the buyer needs to assume responsibility in a situation like this as well. As I posted previously my personal returns policy is simple - I'll take back anything I sell for any reason whatsoever as long as it's done within a reasonable timeframe. Waiting more than a year before bringing up an issue isn't reasonable, nor is expecting that every seller here will take returns till the end of time. If you're making a habit of leaving unopened boxes sitting around for months on end, buy from someone who explicitly states that they will cover you in a situation like this (like Bob Storms) or communicate with the seller beforehand to ensure a no-resto guarantee has been put in place. The marketplace is what it is - there are a bunch of great sellers here who would bend over backwards to make a buyer happy and then there are the ones who don't give a *spoon* once the paypal payment has cleared. If you're making the assumption that every seller here has the same generous returns policy as the one offered by Bob, well, that's on you, not them. I don't need an additional "no resto guarantee " when one has been publically posted in the selling thread in question. All I want is for a seller to back up their word. I assumed my part of the responsibility by not asking for a full refund which I don't feel I was warranted. I do feel that expenses I incurred due to the seller's negligence should be returned to me. Trust me mschmidt, I fully accept my part in the time line involved. All I expected was an answer to my PM's concerning product not as described as well as an acknowledgement of my alert that the 72 hour clock was ticking and a response was required. I received none of the above. The rules, how they are written now, state I've done my part. If you don't agree with the rules as written, take part in the discussion to have them altered for the future. For those whose word has no time line, pat yourselves on the back. The rules, as they currently stand, don't support your position. What you're doing is using the absence of a specific rule in regards to how long a responsible buyer has to bring forward a claim to support your position that all sellers should be on the hook for a book coming back restored in perpetuity. Which, as I've said several times, is all fine & well if the seller explicitly offers such a guarantee, but doesn't grant you the right to assume they do. Mschmidt, you are making this sound like some nefarious plan of mine to beat the system and force a seller to acquiesce to my unrelenting demands If the seller in question had a problem with his nomination, why didn't he come forward and explain how his publically posted "no resto" copy of Batman # 19 ended up with a married cover? Since this seller in question did offer an explicit guarantee of no restoration do you feel I am justified in my assumption that he should back up his word? If you and I do business... which we have a few times in the past... and you had a problem with something I sold you... be it one month or two years... I wouldn't hesitate to make it right. Would you not afford me the same courtesy since we at least know each other on a business level. Or would it be caveat emptor concerning your sales based on the time frame you have placed upon your word? xxx ooo Rupp It's honestly good to know that you offer a life time guarantee! Thank you! Dan

Thanks for the quick response, fellas... and WOOOT! Dan

Hi All! I have a question about a new Mag in my collection... it's not in hand yet, but I was wondering about CGC encapsulation restrictions on magazines. Do Eerie Publications books make the cut? Sorry to intrude on the topic, but I'll soon be posting here with the addition soon! Thanks, Dan

Dan

Fair answers. I'd agree that communication is the key in any transaction. I'm always wiling to wait if I know I'm waiting. Dan

Merely thinking out loud here, and don't want to get flamed... But is it okay for a seller to demand immediate payment and yet send out the comic at their convenience? Should there be lightning shipment for lightning pay? Dan

That's why I like the BIN's on auctions here. If you really want it, just buy it! Dan

Dan

Ugh. Make a deal, follow through. That's your reputation. Another one on the personal list. Dan

Received today - Charles Paul Wilson III - The Stuff of Legend Vol. V, issue ?... Dan

This just in... CPWIII upcoming cover for The Stuff of Legend Vol V... Boogeyman... Dan

This is just some sad stuff. A waste of a reputation over a few dollars. Although I read somewhere that greed is good. Well, I don't wanna be good if that's the case. Dan

I think giving the benefit of the doubt is reasonable here, isn't it possible that the PM discussion included an immediate payment within those four minutes? Unless the seller has two browser windows open and is constantly refreshing both during a pm discussion, then it could be very likely that the first was just simply not seen until the pm discussion was concluded. And if it was a sale via PM, then the seller probably sold it for less than the BIN price anyway. Just my .... and even this is not always the case. I allow via PM because some buyers just don't want the world to know what they buy. Often I get full ask in a PM agreement. Requiring a screen shot to prove the time stamp would defeat the purpose in those cases. With all the that some boardies give to those who buy for resale, I can understand the wish for privacy. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Personally I'd rather do my dealings through PM. I will often buy through PM, not because I want to resell, but because I don't always love advertising what I buy. Exactly. There seems to be an occasional push to "out" the buyer of a book. It feels weird. Dan
