Yeah, that's a totally different situation. If it were me, I think I'd wait until the auctions ended and then deal with those and the other item. I only say that because I wouldn't want to cancel and then have them pull some shenanigans if they win the other auctions, knowing I canceled the first sale. Sorry that happened!

How much conversation have you had with him? I had a buyer reach out and ask about a book he really wanted, but he had a sale pending in a week or so that was going to fund the purchase of my book, among others. We messaged back and forth, and like me, he sells stuff he doesn't want/need to fund stuff he does. He didn't want to miss out on my item (it was a BIN and the only one on eBay), and he asked if I'd be willing to wait for payment until a set date a week later when his sale was final if he claimed the item now. I agreed, and on that date, he paid. This sounds a little different, with the additional bids and such, but messaging a bit could go a long way to discovering what's behind it, and could potentially either lead to a new customer or uncover any red flags.

Yeah, I'm done with auctions - I have a couple left that need to finish, and then I'll stick with BINs. Had a guy win one the other day, and he messaged me within an hour or so and said, "I don't need this book, can you cancel it?" Canceled, blocked and sent a message saying if you don't need something don't commit to buying it.

I love both 400 and 402, but I really like the cover on 402 better personally. Awesome books!

Couple more cheap DIG Auction wins. First is Batman 199 - I've always loved this cover: For fun, I found all of the other covers that are depicted on this cover (I don't own these): And this one is probably silly to have in an 8.0, but I won it at $20 in a pure impulse purchase, so what the heck:

Bought a bunch more books, they are great just like before! Excellent sales, excellent shipping and packing. Thanks!

Got a really great deal on these two on DIG Auctions:

Just won this run lot on eBay the other day, and it already got here today! 472-480, and 476 includes the DC Reader Survey:

I was excited and shocked that I won this lot on eBay - straight run of Detective 472-480, and the 476 also has the DC questionnaire insert. I thought for sure I'd be outbid. Must have had a "Strange Apparition" watching over me... And these were some inexpensive DIG Auction wins. I paid less than raw prices for the 357 and 386 in comparable grade, and the Death Metal LotDK was a $25 impulse buy, since I was already paying for shipping anyway at that point.

Given enough time, they'll most likely all be off-white and worse anyway. The slabs probably slow the decay of paper, but they don't stop it outright.

A 3x premium on White pages??

Edit: I think I misunderstood the topic.

This is so sad to hear. Perez is one of the artists who shaped my love for comics, as I'm sure he did for many others here. As a Batman fan, when I envision my "ideal" versions of characters, there is a specific artist for each, i.e., Batman (Neal Adams), Batgirl (Carmine Infantino), Joker (Brian Bolland). My ideal Robin will forever be George's version of Richard Grayson.

I feel like such a jerk - I had 2 buyers, one bought a $10 spiderman book and the other bought a Tomb of Dracula 19. I've never made this mistake before, but somehow I got the labels mixed up and sent the wrong packages to the wrong buyers. Total mistake on my part and I know I'll never make it again after this learning experience. The guy who was supposed to get ToD contacted me right away yesterday when it was delivered and asked for a return - that's how I learned of the mistake. Of course I approved the return and sent a label right away. I also immediately sent a message to the other guy yesterday explaining the situation and asking him to initiate a return when he got the book, and I'd square it all away (it was out for delivery still when the first guy did his return). Last night, the book showed as delivered to him, but I didn't hear back. This afternoon I sent another message apologizing again, saying I saw it was delivered and asking him to start a return so I could send him a label. Nothing so far. ToD 19 isn't a crazy expensive book, but it is more than $10. I just hope the guy isn't ghosting me and keeping it - especially since the actual buyer of it has been so awesome and understanding. I hate losing money due to my own incompetence, but I'm more just embarrassed that I made the mistake, and I feel awful for the original ToD buyer because he seemed excited about the book.

I love the foil covers on this run.

Looks like a '70s beach party, there's probably some crabs there... Cool piece!!

Just what I need, even more laughter in the bedroom... Ha - I kid, I kid!!

I'll second that - thanks!
