Tried, they didn't care. Looking into filing a mail fraud complaint.

I have hundreds of comics that I am trying to unload. Just sold a few on eBay and one buyer claimed I sent an empty box. So, I lost the claim with eBay and the buyer now has his money ($450) and my comic book. I'm done with eBay. Any suggestions on where to sell some stuff. I'm mostly trying to unload comics from the 1950's - 1990s.

Anyone watch this video? Any thoughts to what this Shawn dude is saying on the value of comics and their future? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXNNZn3gW18

Strange as I have the receipt from where purchased in my records.

Have two 9.2 comics. Should I send them in to be pressed and regraded? If so, should I crack the case and send them nude or submit with the sealed case in the 9.2 grade? Thye are for HE-MAN # 1 in 9.2 grade. Hoping for a 9.8 on at least one.

Do not have the grader notes. It was graded many years ago.. Maybe in 2005.

Would you guys think it would be worth the money to press and re-grade the comic below?

Based on my experience with both Chase and Citi in 2018 and 2019, you are incorrect. Cannot say with Paypal.

I know the comic, I have one. Anyways, I've disputed items over a year after purchase, never had an issue. It's your call, but you have credit card protections. Should you not want to use them, well, that's on you. It's there if you want to.

Do it.

Simple. Contact the credit card company and file a dispute. Reason, the item I purchased was not as described. You contacted the seller and he basically told you to pound off. It's not optimal, but at least you'd get something back.

Strange. I just visited the link and it still shows sold at 60k USD. 80k CAN.

Damn, missed it. I bought 10 platinum and 10 gold editions 10 + years ago, bagged and boarded on HA (when they were decent people). It would had been pretty cool to send them in to get signed and graded. Sigh.

Wow. Eternals 13 CGC is worth that much. I should send them in to get graded. Appreciate the tip.

Did you save those from when you were a kid or did you buy them off eBay as a collectible?

No, not at all. People make mistakes in life. Maybe he learned his lesson? It wasn't good what he did, but we all do really stupid and greedy things in different times in life. I am not condoning what he did, I was just talking about the comic aspect. I tried to load the link to learn more, but the story is no longer there.

So I guess I should hold on to mine a few more years?

I've done BBB complaints before, they never resolve. Heritage is so big, it really doesn't matter to them. Back in the 90's and 20's they gave a . Now, they couldn't care less. I speak with my legs and walk away. If more people walk away from them, they will change for the better. However, I do not see that happening anytime soon.

Sucks, but no one is perfect. I am sure you've not been a perfect angel your whole life (nor have I). As for comics, he's fine. I hate all lawyers anyway. He no longer a lawyer, and I got some amazing deals from him during the crash.

$1.00 Canadian.

Just to be safe, I ordered an appraisal on my graded comics from ValueMyStuff.com. It's always best to have a 3rd party just in case. For the 20 bucks or so it costs to get the appraisal, I think it is well worth it. Never had a break-in, but my house is lit up like a X-mas tree at night and I have cameras around the house and where around my comic room. If an unlucky thief made it past all of that and I am home, I also have a tag team not far from me; Smith & Wesson. As former army, I am well verse in guns, ammo and close hand combat. I do not think someone would be that dumb; but, one never knows. I currently still have my comics and other valuables listed on my homeowners, but I've been considering switching the a third party that exclusively covers collectibles. I pay around 2500 a year on my homeowners for the insurance. I believe CIC was around 1400. I just worry about the viability of the company. I know my insurance company is not going out of business any time soon. I also know there is a State reserve in case an insurance company does go under. If CIC goes under (bankrupt) and a policyholder has a claim what happens? Are they still covered under the State insurance fund?

IDK, that's a far fetched risk. No? My 7.5 with slight restoration should be worth double this; should that be true.

I've bought and sold through Doug. No issues with him.

I sold off a lot of certified items, many duplicates. The agreement was to list one per auction, they instead listed all of the same items in the same auction. This killed the value I was able to get out of the auction. If you list 8 of the exact same item, with the exact same grade, people are going to take advantage. I found a month later the items sold on eBay for an astronomical amount. I tracked them as I had the cert. #'s in my files. Cost me over 1k in profits, but they didn't care. I then withdrew from the agreement to sell my cert. Spider-man Collection 1 - 50 CGC high grade. They threaten to sue, I said bring it and gave them my attorneys contact information. I will NEVER use those thieves again. The collection keeps on going up in value, so no loss to me on that parcel.
