Hi Everyone. Name is Eric. Live in the grand state of New Jersey. Only recently starting collecting comics. Started out by my obsession with Frank Frazetta. First it was some art books. Then statues. Eventually lead me to his art inspired comics (Death Dealer/One shots/etc).

That in turn lead me to Conan. I've picked up a few key issues (1 and 2) and the odd one I find. Looking to really start filling out my collection. Also looking to further add to my Frazetta collection (have about 50 comics right now) plus any other misc Frazetta items I run across (and it is amazing just how many there are).

Look forward to talking (and hopefully buying) from the community here.

Is it OK to post about bad sellers here? Bought a Conan the Barbarian #1 from seller buey03 listed in NM condition. I realize grading is subjective, but the comic came bagged and boarded IN A PLAIN ENVELOPE. No cardboard. No bubble wrap. Just stuck it in a mailing envelope. Turns out the cover was detached at the bottom staple.

Sent the seller a message detailing what happened. It started off OK. He said he had some more comics and would see what he could do. All went down hill from there. Kept offering to sell me more comics at a discounted rate. Every single comic was priced at a minimum of double what other sellers had them for currently on EBAY. Said it wasn't his concern what others were selling them at, he was giving me a big discount.

It took me opening a case with EBAY to get anywhere. Even then he continue to try and sell my overpriced books at a discount to make up for it. Eventually got him to give me a partial refund.

After looking at other books he has for sale there are a lot that have staple issues. I'm not so sure the cover wasn't detached from the beginning.
