You think he played with the numbers for Sky of Risewalker too?

Maybe they figured why go all in on advertising a movie that's even worse than TLJ?

Anyone know what the latest is on the charges against Keya Morgan? I can't find any recent updates, other than he got pre-trial release from LA County on June 12 of last year.

I seem to recall they spun PayPal off because a few activist board members and/or shareholders wanted to pad the bottom line, nothing more. It wasn't that bad of an idea in a vacuum because third party payment processors seem to pop up all the time, PayPal was just the first major name in the game and is probably still the most well known, despite the competitive landscape. Regardless, you're correct that they're never going to compete with Amazon, except maybe in percentage of fraudulent transactions. Bezos is building an empire, eBay is just an auction site with severe little brother syndrome that can't accept excelling at what it used to excel at.

I’m hopeful that I can move all my eBay items prior to managed payments becoming mandatory, because I don’t plan to stick around once they do. eBay has completely gone away from what it was founded as - an auction site for the little guy. All about the EPS now. I’m just a guy with a hobby, so if they don’t need me, I don’t need them.

Alright, that's a wrap on THIS particular thread. I'll likely kick off a new one sometime next weekend with a few raw books (including that FF 39), so stay tuned. Thanks once more to all who had a look, and a little extra bonus thanks to all the buyers!

Last minute addition -- Fantastic Four 39. I bought this at C2E2 as a VG+, and looking it over I agree with that grade. I landed a slabbed 6.5 on eBay about 3 1/2 minutes ago that I couldn't pass up for the price, so I'm making this one available. $50 shipped (this one will ship priority flat rate)

@pmWolf X-Men 131

One more bump, and then I'm going to close it down tonight around 8ish CST. For realsies this time.

Just realized the ASM 129 thing was posted last year too.

Friday bump with one more price drop on B&B 28, now at $650. For comparison, a .5 on the CLink went for $676 recently, and that one was totally split at the spine and stapled back together with 2/3 of Wonder Woman also missing from the front cover. In my totally unbiased opinion, my .5 > their .5.

Say what? More details please.

X-Men 1's as far as the eye can see!

15% not doing it for you? That's cool, check out new prices on each listing ('Tec 411 has been removed though, you shoulda struck sooner ). And as Crazy Vaclav would tell you -- each book will go 50 hectares on a liter of kerosene. Now put it in H!

Does that cover tanning extend into the interior of the covers? CGC can be brutal on that, I had a copy of X-Men 22 that was beautiful on the outside but came back a 4.5 because of interior tanning (or at least that's what I told myself, I never did see the grader's notes).

An absolute pleasure to deal with, things could not have gone any smoother.

Yessir!

Good people of the Boards -- because a certain unnamed University of Florida fan keeps posting books that I really really REALLY want, some of my funds went awry. Why should you care? Because we're throwing the doors back open, this time starting with 15% off listed price on all remaining books!

Matt - "Stock market is down, start buying bargains. No comics for now." Rick - "Watch this." Matt - "Just take my money!!!"

That chargeback guy was an (unflattering something) for sure, those grade gaps should have been obvious as soon as he had the books in hand. Learn to grade, jerk.

Fine, rain on my joke...

What a great time for automation... If you'd like to dispute a requested return, press 1. If you've received the March 12th edition of the Hartford Times instead of the item that was supposed to be returned to you, press 2. If you have any other issues with a buyer, press 3. (on hold music) Thank you. Your appeal has been denied. We at eBay appreciate your money, have a nice day!

Friday Going to leave this thread open until Sunday, then will probably schlep everything over to fleaBay.

Thanks again to everyone! Until next time...
