some really nice high grades magazines. 

This was always going to be the outcome. Anyone who thinks they were going to admit to an any degree of damaging books was just being delusional. 

I've never sold a book in my life anywhere. I don't get insulted or mad when someone overprices their books. I just move on. I still enjoy going to shows even if I don't buy very much. Get see lots of cool books. Talk with cool people. I'm just not going to make a bad financial decision because I'm at a show. 

I don't mind paying a small premium to buy at a show. But I'm talking about maybe 5-10% at most. I don't care about how expensive it is to set up at a con. Or how much you paid for the book. Just don't care. 

Taschen is running a sale for the next few days. You can get the Frazetta book for $99.99 instead of the normal $200.

I can't resist. Someone should jump on this masterpiece.

When I'm selling, it's the bidders. When I'm bidding, it's the sellers.

This is the equivalent of everyone who drives slower than me is an insufficiently_thoughtful_person and everyone who drives faster than me is a lunatic. 

The  "batch of defective inner wells explanation" seems so long ago.

At some point there has got to be a post on their socials and website about the issue and how they’re going to resolve it.

I don't believe that is ever going to happen. The loss of money and time to fix all these books will be completely unacceptable to the big bosses. 

I'm not sure what is the worst part of this listing. Calling this book an 8.0 or charging $28 for shipping.

I was looking at a seller who had a few interesting slabs. Then I saw the shipping method was media mail. I'm not sure I've seen that before for a slab.

That raises another question.

If you do a credit card dispute/chargeback...would CGC then ban you from being able to use their services?

 

I feel like most businesses would refuse you service at that point.

seems like something QA should keep an eye out for.

That seems immensely optimistic.

Its stated quite clearly if you send in a COA, it is thrown away.

Clearly that is not true. 

Condolences. Sounds like a great guy.

I don't wish him death - but I am still angry with what he did.

To be clear I was not wishing him death. Just what might happen in prison. 

He doesn't seem like he would last long in prison. Healthcare doesn't seem to be a strongpoint there. 

If he still has your books and you have not contacted the police this should certainly be the push you were looking for.

That thread is a year old and it's 76 pages of trolls posting memes without any discussion, research or analysis. This post is about an actual event that just happened this week. People shouldn't have to sift through 500 trash posts in order to discuss a major event in the comics community.

I bet you are a blast at parties.

If I didnt specifically look for the bend I would have seen nothing usual about the slabs that came back

So if you hadn't looked for the bend, you wouldn't have seen the bend. But you did look for the bend and you saw the bend. 

Its not surprising is it. They don't care. At all.

What happens next?  He is advertising his sale on eBay here.  It seems that his issues here are not isolated to here.  Consider his three most recent feedbacks. 

Is it threadcrapping to warn our members to check out his feedback and just that? 

 

 

 

Did he actually post in his reply he offered to sell it off ebay? Good lord.
