    The ‘Selling too soon’ Thread

    Avengers #57

    Edge of Spider Verse # 2

    Star Wars # 42 ( 2x)

    Something is Killing the Children # 1

    Those 4 ( 5 if you count SW #42 twice ) are probably my biggest losses , don’t get me wrong - I was able to offload for more than I paid but holding them a bit longer would’ve worked out better . Considering selling all the Dark Horse Star Wars comics I had was essentially “ free money “ the sting wasn’t as bad longterm . I believe they have room to grow, but the older issues will be easier to locate again at obviously higher prices IMO.

    Late on reporting this guy from feebay ...lyssan_0

    A lot  of communication , books are great , NM - did some haggling on prices and then he shot the price up on a book we were adding on and got wet feet on a 3 book deal , fair enough - we executed a deal for 2 books none the less and I paid immediately . Almost a week goes by and no update . I emailed a few times and no response . I open a case and he magically responds upset . “ I had a death in the family “ et al , extenuating circumstances ... for me , I totally get it .I offer condolences ,  He refunds and apologizes,  . I said it’s unfortunate as I really wanted the books, he says he could use the cash .The old adage - (fool me once Shame  on you , fool me twice shame on me comes to mind ) so we agree on another deal , I said I won’t go through another transaction until I SEE the refund in my bank , he gets antsy anyway but nonetheless I wait . Refund comes in and I pay . Another week , did you ship yet as I didn’t see an update ? No . Then I said I’m not so many words ... “ I gave you the benefit of the doubt ,I’m sorry for your loss but if you didn’t think you could make it to the post office why did we proceed ?” . So he refunds me again and I just end up getting them elsewhere . Whether he made the story up or not is irrelevant because if you’re going that far to fabricate about a death , I’m better off not knowing you . 
     

    Disney+'s WandaVision (2020)

    That would be fantastic , just saw episode 3 ( where they touch on Pietro) so that doesn’t seem entirely out of the realm of possible ... plus with the X-men’s version of quicksilver over ( playing a superior performance IMO by Evan Peters) 

    this is easily my favorite episode so far as we finally get a real glimpse of what’s behind the curtain ....
