Sorry no notes. But if anyone is interested in an Xmen 2 3.5 COW for $350 I can get you in touch with the owner

Posted it in the PGM section this morning And a pic from the email on Friday

Lol...I thought about it

Thanks for all feedback. I plan on sharing this thread with the buyer in the hopes their future transactions run smoother and hopefully avoid this type of situation for other boardies.

I know....in hindsight that was really, really dumb. Lesson learned.

Having a hard time with a buyer on here and looking for opinions. I sold a raw silver age book through these threads in May 2019 only to have the seller ASK FOR A REFUND 1 YEAR LATER IN MAY 2020. May 13 2019: Book sold for $400. May 29 2020: The buyer isn't happy with the book stating it appeared lower than the stated grade - I considered it in the "fine range" I'd usually decline this type of request as it had been so long since the transaction was completed, but a well known respected presser (yup, it's who you're thinking) was involved. The presser didn't want to risk pressing the book out of fear of damaging it further. I asked the buyer what would make them happy and a partial refund was suggested of 25% or $100. Figured it's only $100 and I spend alot more than that on grading and pressing each of my books anyhow. May 30 2020: Sent a partial refund of 25%/$100 - figured seller is a newb and $100 is not worth damaging my rep with this presser August 21, 2020: Then I get this in my inbox: "Finally got the book that I bought from you and we had talked about being too brittle to even press. Came back from CGC 3.5 and not even close to 6.0", I responded with " Not sure what to tell you. Are you asking for an additional refund? In my opinion, the book looked in the fine range and that was 15 months ago. Never meant to deceive you and thought we were fine with the last $100 refund. " And then this: "I know you weren’t trying to deceive me, but the grade was so far off. The difference between 6.0 and 3.5 grade value is close to $400. You already gave me $100 back, can you do another $50 to cover my grading costs and I think that would be fair? In the buyer's defense he only started collecting collectible comics in February of 2019 so he'd only been at it for 3 months before purchasing this raw book in 2019. Just curious for everyone's opinion as to how they'd handle this type of request or advice on how more experienced sellers would treat a customer like this. Cheers

8300 if you can still find it is ideal...inexpensive and has the large bed-size. Only problem is the glare issue....have no idea how to fix it. Open to suggestions You can see it at the bottom of the book on this scan

Still available???? PM sent

Sweet book...can’t see this lasting much longer

I’ve never been a fan of Avengers 1....no first appearance and my 3rd favourite Marvel team(xmen & FF). However if you’re planning on owning the books again down the road there are fewer Avengers 1 books out there. Personally I’d keep hulk 181 and never buy Avengers. If you plan on owning them both, keep the Avengers.

Just noticed this on Clink...nice grade but a little miscut https://www.comiclink.com/auctions/item.asp?back=%2FAUCTIONS%2FPREVIEW.ASP%3Fcode%3D2020aug%23Item_1420742&id=1420742&itemType=0#detail

Soo maybe I need my coffee before responding in the morning...my bad

I don’t have an unlimited budget and have to make decisions on which books to keep and which I have to move in order to upgrade. I went from 200 slabs to 9 and it was painful having to sell some of my smaller books. I’m not trying to overpay so yeah, I do care about money/costs as well. As for being ignored - I think you’re doing me a favour.

Totally get this....the lines start to blur about what to buy/hold/sell......

This is going to be a tough book to upgrade....it’s such a sweet looking book and a perfect example of buy the book and not the grade....congrats

WOW that's a beaut..and congrats on the sweet pickup

2.0 - 2.5.

I know...The white pages and upper 80% of the book look amazing...that's a really nice 3.5 congrats

Can you at least tell us the grade?

And it's an absolute beaut btw
