Great idea for a thread…off the top of my head, I’ve got that same Watchmen pin, a Spidey wearing a Christmas hat pin, and a glow in the dark Green Lantern ring.

Pretty sure I have a 2009 Watchmen movie promo pin I got from the comic shop

What is the best practice for getting unwarranted negative feedback removed?

I sold a low dollar Magic card (<$10) and the buyer left negative feedback claiming the card was fake along with a few extra choice words for me as a seller.  The buyer never contacted me. I know the card wasn't fake as I've had it since the 90's and it wasn't even worth a buck back then. 

 

 

Go to Help & Contact and submit request to remove negative feedback, call ebay agent or send a revision request to buyer

I'm probably just not seeing it, but is it still possible to see who left you feedback? Ever since they changed the ;purchase history' page a few weeks ago, I haven't been able to find it.

Yes, feedback profile

Full disclosure cross post with my journal entry, but...

A local used bookstore had recently advertised they had comics on their Facebook page. I couldn't make it of course. I was off yesterday so I figured can't hurt to look for any scraps other local flippers may have missed.

I don't know if the store got more books or if the other flippers just didn't know where to look (store bit of a mess) but I walked away with the books below, at about half off after using some of my store credit.

...Just proves books are out there (albeit rarer and rarer), it pays to hunt and good luck can happen.

Really nice bronze finds!!!

Story time (sorry, long post incoming):

Last week, I lucked out on finding 3 lots on eBay all on the same day, within about 2 hours of each other. All 3 sales had similar characteristics, in that their titles were somewhat incomplete (as it pertained to key books in the lots), as were the photos. I was super happy to come away winning all 3 lots - there was a bit of a leap of faith involved in 2 of 3, but I'm pleased to say it paid off.

The first lot was listed as a "Batman 379-391 13-book lot," and had this photo as the main (all of the other photos were basically just different angles of this stack):

 

It was listed at a $40 BIN with $5 shipping. I could see the 386 poking out, and the books looked in decent shape, so I jumped at it. Here they are:

 

 

The second lot was from the same seller as the lot above, and was listed as "Batman 408-474 (missing 472)" with annuals and "extras" - a 79 book lot total. This was the main pic, and all the other photos were of the annuals and extras, no additional photos of the core books aside from this pic of the stack:

 

This one was an auction with a $100 starting bid and $13 shipping. I decided to take the chance and bid, and I was the sole bidder. All 79 books showed up as promised, here are some of the highlights:

 

Almost all of the Batman books had prices on the bags - I'm not sure if someone just went through and put prices on their own collection, or if this was some sort of store liquidation or what - here are a couple of examples from before I re-bagged them:

 

 

And finally, the last lot (different seller) was listed as "Venom 1-24 plus annual complete series 2018 NM." This was the main photo, and there was one other photo that was basically just this photo over again but with the ashtray cropped out:

 

This one had a starting bid of $20 with $13 shipping. I was skeptical of it, but I ended up bidding and winning the auction for $44. It came in the mail yesterday. There was a faint cigarette smell to them, but even after just one day of airing out, it's almost completely gone:

 

I was really excited to find all this - I ended up with 117 books total for about $215, with a couple of home run books in there. There are still some great hunts on eBay!

 

Really nice!

What a sweet stack. Years ago, some guy was walking around with a stack of cgc'd House of Secrets 92 ranging from about 7 to I think 9.6 and they were all for like a few hundred total. I passed... Man, the regrets. 

That’s cheap even back years ago

People need to stop with the little fire (and other) icons/emojis in their eBay titles and email topics. It's annoying.

An X-Men 29 in any condition? Very well done! I'd love to know what was paid. Still a good find.

That was $80

Any way to upload short videos to the thread? Got 3 short boxes full of excellent dollar books but takes too long to photograph even just the highlights

 that is a lot, yet I'm not sure what all I'm seeing

Perhaps I’m ahead of my time

Another copy this time found in the wild for 50% off. I remember I couldn’t find this rare 3rd print variant for several years
