  1. I'd spend an evening bar hopping with Wally Wood, as long as I din't have to pick up the tab A fun thread, and I appreciate your offer, but i'm downsizing, not expanding.
  2. Sy Syms used to say an educated consumer is our best customer. If I'm reading this correctly, the OP has bought thousands of dollars worth of books from MCS off of ebay but never thought to look at their website, in spite of the dozens, if not hundreds of posts here praising MCS. Within minutes of his original posts, he is given numerous ways to contact them and is informed that any book on ebay is available on their site at a discount. Rather than take advantage of the discounted books, he chooses to play the martyr and pretend that MCS lost out on $23,000 in sales.
  3. The OP thinks they don't communicate enough. You think they communicate too much. How in the wide wide world of sports have they survived some sixty years.
  4. What seller has their phone number on their ebay site? If a company has 500,000 listings, how man dedicated service reps should the have on standby ,waiting for questions to come in? Are you really not familiar with mycomicshops website? Or their customer service department?
  5. If you were really interested in three multi-thousand dollar books, you just learned how to save hundreds of dollars by simply buying them off their website. That would be a win-win for both of you. If......... Customer Service isn't about satisfying every possible customer. Buddy Saunders has been selling comics since 1960 and put together the worlds largest comic store, but give him a call. I sure you have a lot to teach him.
  6. Forbidden Planet in the early/mid 1980s was located midblock, had a first floor full of goodies and its back issues were in the basement with a large staircase in the middle of the first floor. At some point, it moved across the street and has been at its corner location for a long time. I don't recall a shop that was entirely in a basement downtown. These was one on 53rd off Second Avenue that you went down a few steps to get to.
  7. As MCS has reinvented themselves in the last decade, going from a regional chain with mostly overpriced books on the web to being the largest online comic store in the world, I suspect they are a tad past Business 101. They just completely revamped their ebay shop in the last month or so so perhaps they just might know what they are doing.
  8. Almost everything they offer on ebay can be purchased on their website without the ebay fees. Perhaps the are trying to steer buyers that way.
  9. It's not the camera, it's the lighting. I can't fit enough candles close enough to the books for proper lighting.
  10. Special Bonus book Daredevil 181 CGC 8.5 OW-W This book will be awarded to any person who wins two or more of these auctions. You will pay only $10 shipping, but if you win all three books, this book ships free Bullseye vs. Electra to the death.
  11. Book 3 Amazing Spider-Man 175 CGC 9.2 OW pages. Starting bid is $25 An early Punisher appearance, with Ross Andru and Jim Mooney. Photo to follow.
  12. Book 2 Daredevil 90 CGC 9.2 with OW pages. Opening bid is $25 A Marvel picture frame issue, this issue features the Black Widow, who would soon earn Co-Star status. Gil Kane cover with Gene Colan interiors. Photos to follow
  13. Book 1 Conan 100. CGC 9.8 OW-W Opening bid is $30 or higher The Death of Belit This copy is from the well regarded Marvel Art Review Collection assembled by fan publisher Art Gumbus and auctioned off by Comic Link. This slab comes with a Comic Link sticker and a bonus postcard sized paper explaining the books origin. Photos to follow.
  14. This time around I am offering three popular books, all in nice slabs. Paypal only, US only, no returns on slabs and each book has a BIN of $150. This auction will have extended bidding so they end at 9PM EST, or three minutes after the last bid if there are any last minute bids. NO HOS, No probation members and no POS. Shipping is $15 for up to three slabs, or free if the BIN is hit.
  15. Auction ended. The winner of The America's Best Comics is Hudson with a just in time bid of $255 and the Thrilling 13 goes to ComKav with a $300 bid. Both books will get free domestic shipping. Thanks for all the bids. I will auction off another two or three Schomburg covers starting on Sunday. My next auction will be up in the next hour or so featuring a couple random SA under-copies.
  16. Many top sellers offer extended payment plans, but you don't get the books until they are paid in full. Paypal offers credit terms, and you can always use a credit card. My suggestion is to pay cash or pay off your CC monthly until you really know the hobby and what it is you want.
  17. On the one hand, it is coverless and missing the first wrap, but on the other it is the first appearance of Fin Fang Foom.
  18. Something I just noticed about this book. I won a copy of this at some carny game Opening Weekend of the 1965 Worlds Fair. Strange that they were awarding books that were from the Fall of 1963.

  20. I apologize but I’m not set up for Canadian shipping yet. I’d have to fill out a form at the PO, which is a forty mile round trip.
  21. I wonder if ATT would consider selling off Superman or Batman.
