  1. What's the GPA on it? Was your bid around the average?
  2. Having been a post office clerk years ago, I can guarantee you the problem with long lines is 70% the customers. The sheer amount of people who come in, expect a post office member to package their stuff, then argue at every step up is insane. It clogs up the lines quickly. You're also the closest representative to a government employee they know so a lot of that ire gets directed to you. I understood real quickly why post office works develop the attitude they do. There's also times in the day when people come in mass, usually 3pm onward. You will be waiting longer these periods. I go before or after the lunch hours and it's usually dead.
  3. A lot of it is because it's coming in on trucks versus air. If a truck is going from PA to CA, you won't see a scan for 2-3 days at least. Priority is usually air so it's moving between distribution hubs where scanning is more frequent.
  4. Ah, I did not realize they were newsstands. I suspect they did not take that into account.
  5. I mean that looks like CGC is offering 110% with taxes of current eBay prices. I think that's pretty fair. If you bought replacement books today you'd bet probably $250 of current prices.
  6. My money is on a yellow label with a JSA logo or something of notable size to be easily visible. Perhaps replacing the CGC hologram.
  7. They just keep reposting until it hits their internal reserve. Second account bids it up to X value. If it doesn't reach it at the end, they cancel the bid on accouht 2 and relist it. Tons and tons of sellers do this.
  8. Promoted Listings are basically SEO advertisements on eBay. Ad blockers are flagging those as ads.
  9. If you have an adblocker it blocks Promoted Listings. So in a weird way you may pay more to make the listing less visible.
  10. Something also I wish I thought ahead about. When I got my life insurance, if I died it could have easily afforded my family buying a house. 12 years later it's about 1/3 a house. Purchase with inflation in mind.
