Slight change in plans -- 'Tec 457 is pending, 371 is back on the market.

Reverse the situation though, and I'll use a current transaction of my own as an example: Several days ago I put in a take on a four figure book, and payment isn't expected till the thread closes sometime next week. Say next week rolls around, and instead of paying I tell the seller "Oh sorry, I spent all my free cash flow in the stock market last week during the downturn. I can't buy your book anymore." The seller naturally gets upset with me, and I come back with "well its my money, and I've been in the hobby for x amount of time, and I've done transactions with persons x, y, and z, and my rep is great. And after all, its only money." Do I get a reprieve from the PL because I've been around the boards for about 5 years and have paid for 100% of my previous takes? No, in fact I should know better than to renege on a deal like that, and my dumb*** should be on the PL until I've made things right by the seller I wronged.

FTFY. Back to the task at hand, hopefully things get sorted out amicably. RICK STARR's resume would indicate that he should know better than to pull a low rent move like this.

Chill out, “it’s only a comic book”.

ASM 252 sold by PM.

Take. Now I’ll sell my 9.6

I'll take this opportunity to plug Zelle as a great alternative to personal check/money order, if you're dealing with someone you know and/or trust. If you haven't used it, its basically a direct, and free, bank account to bank account transfer network that can be used by customers of any participating bank (I'm with Fifth Third for example). I've used it to receive payment without issue on a couple of occasions. Only potential drawback - the transaction isn't reversible. So again, know and/or trust is key in a Zelle transaction.

‘Tec 371 pending per PM negotiation

Browbeating someone with your resume is never a good look, especially when you're reneging on a deal.

We’re all meanie heads.

As is, looks about a 3.5/4.0, but this one should respond very well to a proper pressing. Unfortunately, I think that the substantial area of front spine creasing near Thor will cap this book's potential at a 5.0.

We linked up on a 9.8 Incredible Hulk 271, sale could not have gone better! Hopefully we match up on some more in the future

This. And the unending stream of antagonistic dissertations isn't helping either.

@agamoto - crayons are too stimulating, #2 pencil only please. But use as many heart, star, and unicorn stickers as you can muster up.

I think there’s a second seller lesson here - proper order of operations would have avoided this altogether. First, unequivocally pull the book within the thread. Then make notification that you pulled the book.

Sorry @agamoto, I still don’t get it. Can you please type another 8 page explanation?

No doubt, they are definitely not receptive to input. Case in point, I got one of those “we’re going to arrest you because your Social Security number was compromised” calls a couple weeks ago. I was very polite and told the guy I needed a good arresting, and he should meet me at 219 S Dearborn in Chicago. And he got lippy with me! Jeez guy, I was only trying to help you out

The boards have hosted some memorable rants through the years, but all I could think while watching motomouth’s meltdown was

Hope the $500 was worth it, @Shoomanfoo.

I hope eBay is proud of the cesspool it has become. If they even pretended to combat fraud, this guy would have at least been forced to respond with “Oh man, I got my returns mixed up! The scrap of cardboard was supposed to go back to a guy in Sioux Falls!”

Well done @CournalCrunch

Another $10 off on 300 too...

Adding Wolverine 7. In true eBay puffery fashion... WOLVERINE 7 KEY HULK APPEARANCE CGC SS 9.8 NOT 9.9 10.0 11.0 PGX (the other guys) CAN'T GET STAN LEE TO SIGN IT BUT MAYBE JOHN ROMITA? NOT TRIMPE OR WEIN!!!!!!!! OK, enough of that I didn't see any recent Signature Series sales, but blue label 9.8s have comfortably crossed the $100 threshold lately. Appearances by the Hulk (as Mr. Fixit), Jessica Drew, and Roughouse in this one. Book was signed by longtime X-Men writer Chris Claremont on 10/14/2011. Let's call it $200 $180 shipped.
