    Since you seem to be genuinely interested in feedback, I would say that the "SLIGHTLY BRITTLE" pages are the reason.

    I have no problem paying by check or money order when I buy a book—in fact, I prefer it because I don't use PayPal often enough to remember that process (or even how to log in).

    However, "Slightly Brittle" pages are an absolute deal breaker for me and for many other collectors as well. I would never consider a book with slightly brittle pages for any price. I might consider cream-to-off-white* pages for a very scarce book if the price was right. But slightly-brittle pages? Never.

    Not every collector cares about page quality, so I do think that the book would sell through a venue that put more eyes on it than the CGC boards. I have no idea what it might sell for, but I would expect it to sell at a significant discount versus a book with cream-to-off-white pages.

    You could try My Comic Shop if you're not comfortable with the no-reserve auction format. They cross-list everything on eBay (at a slightly higher price in order to cover the fees).

    *"What about light-tan-to-off-white?" you ask? It would have to be an extremely rare, highly desirable book with known pages quality issues, such as Motion Picture Funnies Weekly #1—in fact that's the only book I can think of off the top of my head that I might consider buying with light-tan-to-off-white pages.)

    I agree otherwise I imagine it would be long gone
