  1. I think folks are confusing terms here. Anyone can be a PowerSeller as long as their feedback is in good standing and they meet the requirements of 100 transactions in 12 months and 2 or 3k in sales. (I forget which.) To be a Top Rated seller requires some hoop jumping - 1 day S&H, 30 day returns. Just being a PowerSeller doesn’t qualify for their minimal discount, you need to be Top Rated as well. Also, if you as a seller are paying $17 out of pocket for shipping your product, you’re doing it wrong. Shipping should be paid by the buyer or baked into your sale price if you offer free shipping so you’re making the margin you need to.
  2. Only problem with that is for folks like me, I'd rather get the 10% discount in fees by accepting returns. Unless they have it set up so you can start out with "no returns" and then revise it to accepting returns without the "good till cancelled" coming back on. Which would still be a huge PITA.
  3. Saw it with the family this weekend. We all liked it. I wasn’t blown away, being a little fatigued with the superhero superaction superCGI genre at the moment. I feel the need to watch a movie showing real people doing real things. So this week I’m thinking about putting The Good, the Bad and the Ugly on deck for family movie night.
  4. But you know how to grade! I want to go with 5.0, but depending what it looks like in hand I could imagine it dropping a point or half.
  5. Seeing as how the OP's last post was in October (and also about the inherited collection) I imagine we'll get an answer around August.
  6. Even Buscema himself didn’t think highly of his early Marvel art, and cited TTA IIRC.
  7. Same here. I’ve gone to a few places that seemed sketchy at the outset but have no desire to let some stranger into my house. I did make an exception last year when selling some vintage car parts via Craigslist. The buyer was a police sergeant in a neighboring town, so I figured he’d be okay.
  8. Looks to me like there’s a stain on the bottom edge of the back cover and pages. I’d say moisture damage from a substance that was sticky, as opposed to some odd siamese-pages type issue.
  9. My tween son who nothing about about the characters has seen the trailer several times and is really looking forward to it .
  10. Although I did not quote him directly, my post was directed at the OP.
  11. If you're about to sell them, why do you want to bother with new boxes? And if you're selling them, there's no need to expensive acid free boxes. Just get some plain-jane boxes from https://hotflips.com/
  12. I'll wager on just a drive-by. Regardless, this forum is chock full of fun!
  13. But there's no sound in a vacuum.
  14. Nochips has a bulk lot for cheap for sale over in Mixed:
