  1. This, at least, is nice. And I just sold it yesterday (along with my #2 SS SL SS) to a guy in Canada on eBay.
  2. The Mini-Me came out of Stan when he signed this book:
  3. I finally got around to taking group pics of the various comic multi-packs I've picked up over the last 13 years: Both of the Marvel Super-Heroes packs have issue #8 in them. Two of the Marvel 5-packs have Iron Man #304 in them.
  4. Start an overflow thread (like we do for the Virtual Comic Con) and add a link to the 2 threads so we can go back and forth between the 2. But yes, you are correct. People should let us know when their book has been sold or replaced with another copy. My ASM 129 double cover is up for sale now so I might be removing that one soon (or someone else will be adding it).
  5. Excellent. Good to know there are still some nice copies out in the wild.
  6. On June 2 the same buyer bought $11,790 worth of books from me and has not paid. His name is George Hampton of Altoona PA and he runs something called Comics Unlimited. I called him several times and he told me about having problems with Paypal and that he was sending me a cashiers check. When I didn't get the check after a week I called and he told me it was returned. He tells me he will send the check out again the following Monday Priority (last week). I call him Wednesday and he tells me he didn't get a chance to send out the check. So far...no check. He said he'd give me tracking for the first check (he didn't) and that he'd get the check out again (he didn't). When I tried to call him this weekend no answer and no return call after I left a message. This is his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/george.hampton.712?fref=ufi&pnref=story I couldn't get this guy's name on my eBay blocked list fast enough.
  7. I agree. I've talked about lousy eBay sellers myself in here (poor packaging, item not as described, stealing images, etc.). It's more of a warning to not deal with these guys but it's not necessary to add them to the list on page 1. Sounds like it's time for an EBAY: SELLERS TO AVOID LIST thread to be started. Or does one already exist? Page 1. Post 2. And I haven't updated the list for over a month. The first two posts locked and are uneditable. If someone wants to restart it and uodate it, feel free. Thanks Harvey. (thumbs u
  8. I wonder what she's going to get you the next 4 times she gets pregnant? By the 3rd pregnancy she'll probably want you to start buying stuff FOR HER! Great book!

  10. If that's the case then the buyer should just pick 14 of the 15 and only pay $28 for them.
  11. Found this in a dollar bin at a local Vintage Stock store: And now....back to our regularly sponsored Eve Meyer picture request.
  12. Which page was the updated list on? Solar #5 isn't listed on Page 1 so the updated list must be elsewhere.
  13. I usually answer low-ball offers on eBay with something like "Are you kidding me?" or "I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that offer." But most of the time I just decline the offer and move on.
  14. Here's an update on this. I approached the seller in a "non-attacking" way and it proved fruitful. My message first: "Dear alcamler, I received my comic in today's mail. I cringed when I pulled it out of our mailbox and felt how flimsy the package was. No cardboard backing/sandwich, no "DO NOT BEND" anywhere on the package, not even a regular comic backing board. I'm not sure how many comic books you've sold in the past, but this is NOT the way to ship them. I buy and sell comics (mostly online) for a living now. You'll save yourself some headaches with future buyers by placing the comic(s) between 2 pieces of slightly oversized cardboard and taping all 4 sides. Then place the sandwich in an envelope like the one you used to ship mine. I ship this way all the time via 1st Class Mail and the most it ever costs me is about $2.50-2.75. I know you only charged $2.00 to ship this comic, but most comic collectors will gladly pay an extra 50 to 75 cents to ensure their purchase arrives in the advertised condition. I'm still happy with the purchase as I got it for only 99 cents. I will leave positive feedback. -mikesmarvels1957" And his response: "Dear mikesmarvels1957, Thank you Mike for your suggestion. I have sold a lot of items but I haven't sold comic books so this is new for me. I thought just putting them into a plastic sleeve holder would be good enough, plus I really expected that people would order 4 or 5 at a time, which would protect them more, but I do understand your suggestion and I will have to adjust my shipping cost to reflect the extra weight. I was trying to keep the shipping cost down as much as possible. Does the "Do not bend" on the package really matter to the USPS? I have always felt that they don't really care about writing on the outside of packages. Thanks again for your suggestion and your purchase. (oh, and your positive feedback) - alcamler" So I'll give him another opportunity some day soon. (thumbs u
  15. Um, why? 1st appearance of Citizen V (new Marvel line-up).
  16. I can tell you in the case of both Brandon (bcphillips119) and Jerome (jump_ace) they DID receive their books from me that they bought in the charity thread. But I do know that Brandon never received his Batman: Hush book. That's 1. I bought the Amazing Spider-Man #1 CGC 9.8 Hastings Variant that hasn't been received. That's 2. Sharon bought 2 Spawn TPBs and an ASM TPB that still aren't received. That's 3. Sean purchased a Buffy #9 CGC 9.8 SS slab from the thread. No receipt of the book. That's 4. Benjamin Grimm's posting history does show gaps as long as 3-4 weeks between posts so I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt right now. Maybe Bill passed away and Benjamin is busy dealing with that. I don't know. But with 4 people missing purchased books and not receiving any communication at all, this has the possibility of having scam written all over it. I hope I'm wrong and that we'll hear from "Benjamin" soon. If anyone on these boards knows "Benjamin Grimm" personally, please contact him and let him know he has some disgruntled buyers on his hands right now.
