This is a recurring discussion here, and it fascinates me each time. Is there really a difference between a seller saying: 1) Book costs $1030, but take a $30 discount if paying cash or check; vs 2) Book costs $1000, but add $30 if paying via fee-based PayPal; The only difference is mental, right? Why does the phrasing in #2 bother us so much more than #1? This is just a rhetorical question, of course...just one of the vagaries of human psychology, I suppose...fascinating. People getting a discount. People getting an extra fee. People paying a fee they don't know they are paying.

What are the rules on this? Is the seller required to show PMs to prove who was first? Its usually timestamped with who ever puts up the I'll take it first, over agreements in PM if the seller never post something like "sold per PM" or buyer saying "I'll take per PM", etc. Thats usually how its done,but can be different depending on what rules the seller post in their thread, since they could make a rule saying they would go by the time stamp of the agreement made in PM, and not the I'll take it in the thread. This guy however didn't even post any rules about how he handles timestamps which is really one of the most frustrating things to deal with, when this occurs. If nothings posted about it, I assume it goes to the default manner I mentioned above. I also hate the fact he's having the customer pay the Paypal fee instead of just working it into the price. I guess my question is more if the seller is obligated to actually produce "evidence" of a PM I'll take it being time stamped before an I'll take it in a thread.

It probably sounds better to say the price is xx, but you can get a discount for cash or check.

How about "I went to the collectors society forum and all I got was Hustrucked."?

If someone is on the PL and starts a sales thread do people post in that thread that he is in fact on the PL if they notice?

If there is a defect you can definitely send it back. Although sometimes they just want proof you destroyed the statue. If you just don't like it? Well, there is a decent chance you can sell if for money than you bought it for if it is sold out and you got one of the originals directly from the company. I am very impressed with the ARH statues. I would say there is a 90% chance I get the Death Dealer. And yes, 1/4 scale is huge. I have also not heard any issues with them using PVC like Sideshow has started to do.

Is a disclosed restored book worth more than an unrestored book?

How does one seller come to have so many restored books?

Very cool. Thanks.

There is a separate section for members to list their ebay sales. You can check that.

What is that skull?

In yo FACE, Ed! that's such a fitting picture! ? because most ppl on here don't want to be the 1st to help you they want to be the 1st to tell you what you did and are doing wrong... the world has enough critics ? People are helping you by telling you what you did wrong.

PFs are statues. I know, I was expressing impatience... Collecting Sideshow pieces is all about waiting. Ok. :shrug: I just meant that long waits are inevitable with this company. I don't even expect ship dates to be accurate. With the majority of the statues I order it's routine to get an email notification that my payment schedule changes. I just hope they don't get delayed more than once. Good luck with that. My neighbor has three Sideshow statues on order. All three have been delayed at least twice, one four times.

already did it ? You need a NEW PM, not one that was part of an existing chain. I see that you are new. Perhaps reading the rules that are posted in the forum will help clarify what you need to do. Here is a link to make it easier. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4949997#Post4949997 BUDDY ... I did sent a NEW PM! I don't need the rules read again to me and I'm not new here Are you like this with everyone?

Saw the trailer the other night at The Hobbit. I have to say it looked pretty good and I generally hate remakes.

I've sort put myself on the track for that, but haven't decided if I really want to commit. That's a lot of books and admittedly, the reading quality did go down towards the end. I have about 60-70 different books from the regular run already and about 50-60 from SSOC. I probably have about 150-175. Mostly lower grade. A few nicer ones. A few slabs.

Very nice. I've started to lose steam putting together a full set.

Makes you wonder about the guy that submitted the 8.0 book and got back a much lower grade.

It is from IKEA. Pretty easy to put together. Should have no problem putting in a graded comic. Here it is with a comic size and larger magazine size.

Still working on the overall look for my office. I have way more stuff than room at the moment. But this will help. Big one will have to live on top of my desk for the moment. Too big for the case.

I also got a glass display case that is being put together as we speak.
