    Anyone know about this dealer?

    in Silver Age Comic Books

    Posted

    Just to add my 2 cents here. I have no clue on the history of this EBAY seller except what I have read on the boards.

     

    Howver, I have purchsed three comics from Gio72 (before reading all the negative posts), BUT the total price of my purchase was ONLY $9. I was hesitant to bid since he had private feedback, but he had a lot of non-graded ASM's for sale that day and so I figured, what the heck, it's so little $$$.

     

    I also liked the fact that he was from Queens, NY (same as me) and he advertised that the books could be picked up to save on shipping. This was about 2 weeks before x-mas. I won three books after bidding on about 10 and promptly paid via paypal. I excluded shipping charges since I was picking up the books. After paying I emailed him requesting the address of where I could pick up the comics. In a few days he responded to my email by giving me a number to call to set up a time and he would give me the address then as well. I called the number several times over next few days and always got a message to which, I always left a message.

     

    Needless to say I was thinking i'm such a for getting into this mess with a private feedback seller (its not the $9, but the principle of it).

     

    I emailed him a couple of times more and he finally responded saying he was sorry, he had been running around finishing his x-mas stuff. In his email he said that it's probably better that he mail out the books since he was too busy to meet. He said he would overnight the books to me at his expense.

     

    Believe it or not, I was shocked that an overnight parcel arrived with all three comics as described. The total purcahse was about $9, but he spent $14 on shipping. I give the guy credit for completing the sale at an added cost to him.

     

    Would I buy from him again? Probably not, especially after reading all the negative posts and especially not a high $$$ book. Again, I dont know the person, never spoke to them, but I did get my books about 2 1/2 weeks later.

     

    Take it for what ever it's worth.
