Something about this book just lures me to it even though my first time seeing it was here. When I saw it the other night, I told my girlfriend that I finally found my birthday gift. When I returned to the thread, it was sold. Congrats to the winner.

When you go to pay for something via PayPal you will be given the option to send the money Friends and Family or to Pay For Goods and Services. Friends and Family allows the transfer of funds without fees and the other charges the sell (not the buyer) a fee. You, as the buyer, are also given protection when it comes to returns by usig the Goods and Services option that you are not given with Friends and Family.

In short, always use Goods and Services when purchasing anything online.

Much appreciated. 

I've only ever used it recently to make a few eBay purchases. I never even knew there was two options. This is laziness on my own part I guess, but there are other factors. If it isn't too much trouble, how would the process work? This may sound weird, but I'm very new to ordering anything online. I don't want to do anything that would come off as suspicious and ruin my rep with my first attempt at buying.

I'm very new to using eBay and Paypal, and my search didn't yield any answers for me. I could have searched more, but was getting frustrated. So, I hope this question is okay.

I noticed that personal PayPal is listed as not an acceptable form of payment for the marketplace here. However, I notice PayPal as an option on seller threads. Can someone please clarify this for me as I'm interested in making a WTB thread?

Thanks!

Agree completely.

Disagree completely.

 

Are you a creationist, or do you just disagree with the way I presented my argument?

I have no idea how you can "debunk" an interpretation. Debunk means that you expose the falseness of a statement. That chart is an interpretation. As for the rest of your statement, you just reminded me of why I don't post. To think that a bunch of comic book collectors are in a better position to interpret USPS rules and regulations than actual USPS workers are, is beyond my comprehension. The level of self-righteousness and arrogance is strong on these pages. I think I'll just wait a few more years before I comment on anything else here.

 

I don't understand why you seem upset. I thought this was a great discussion and was enjoying reading it. Both of you guys did a great job articulating your points.

An interpretation can still be false and debunked. I'll use fossils as an example since you invoked them in a previous comment:

Creationists are wrong on their interpretation of fossils and easily debunked: Fossils are only one evidence of evolution that isn't even required to verify common descent. It's just a bonus. When one looks at all of the available evidence for common descent, the only way to reject it is to claim conspiracy.

I think I figured it out: 

Only VG comics can use Media Mail, and only VG/FN comics can use Library Mail. 

Thanks! Added to my bookmarks.

7.0, or a really strong 6.5.

Reasons like these is why I only buy from a handful of people.

It's one reason I joined these forums: to establish long-term relationships with reputable dealers.

I see those a lot on CL too. I think they're like the people who go on Pawn Stars hoping for $50k but end up walking out with $1,500.

It boggles my mind how people can be so lazy with simple research. Also, nerd-rage.

Would guess 8.5. Maybe 9.0 due to it being GA.

Does this guy actually expect to make a sale? Wouldn't anyone that is willing to spend that kind of cash on comics know that these asking prices are nonsensical?

Hey everyone,

I have been lurking for about 3 months now and decided to finally make an account. I was born in 1973, in Manhattan, and started collecting when I was around 7. It started with mostly Archie stuff and eventually moved on to superhero comics. I attribute that to cartoons like Super Friends and all the Hanna Barbera stuff like Bird Man, Mightor, etc. I eventually moved to the Bronx. My comic shop was Fordham/C&C/C&P comics. The name changed a few times. I moved to NH and quit collecting around 95'. However, I never stopped watching superhero cartoons.

About 3 months ago, I picked up an Avengers 86 to start. One whiff of the pages, and I became addicted again. I'm not interested in modern books though. I've mostly been buying silver and bronze. I've been reading this forum almost daily and picking up as much information as I can. I've gotten pretty decent at grading in that short amount of time, and my guesses on the grading forum are pretty spot on with other seasoned members. I've been using cheat sheets I picked up from YouTubers: etaNick and Gumba 213. Now, I'm trying to learn as much as possible about restoration spotting.

Looking forward to participating in the forums and eventually building up enough trust to buy some books here. I've seen some great deals here. Although, I have been buying from ebay, I really don't care for it. I would rather build a long-term relationship with a few of the dealers here.
