  1. Watched it last night.  It wasn't horrible, better than BvS, nowhere near as entertaining as WW.  I agree with the comments about overuse of CG, some of which looked really bad.  Plenty of holes in the story as well, definitely could have benefited from an extra 15-20 minutes to fill those in some. 

     

  2. Bought a book (PLANET #52) from BATMANFAN, paid for it 4th Jan. Got a message back saying it would be shipped on the 5th Jan.

     

    Nothing so far and the last message I sent last week asking about it has been unread by him.

     

    Can I nominate him for the probation list then?

     

    Would appear that you could.

     

    I got the book I bought in a timely manner. I did have it CGC'd as someone had suggested it might have restoration, and it was OK.

     

    I didn't post anything publically BECAUSE I had asked to speak with him when I bought the book and he had Gus call me instead. When I asked for his name/phone number, he reluctantly gave me his cell phone...after a few emails. Never got his name, so I was not 100 percent gung ho about recommending him.

     

    I was just not terribly comfortable with the masking...However, except for that, I had no problems with my transaction, and Gus was very nice on the phone ...he even offered to ship me a Sensation 31 I was interested in on approval, but I declined.

     

    I have a feeling that Gus is the one to contact, not Tom.

     

    I'm sorry both of you have been going through this stuff. Andrew, since I'm in NY, if you want me to, I'll call Gus for you, just PM me.

     

    It's possible, it's just bad communication...after all, he was a brand new poster when he started the threads...might not check on PMs.

     

    I'd also start a Paypal/credit card dispute if you can, that might wake someone up.

    Someone who couldn't be bothered to follow the marketplace guidelines is bound to be a problem seller. I was very surprised to see so many people give him a pass, despite the cool books he was posting.

     

  3. Unfortunately, need to add paper_only to the do not buy from list. Paid for two books from his Strange Tales sale thread. After I paid, seller said he couldn't find one of the two books.

     

    After that, nothing. No books. No emails. Does not respond to emails or PMs. No refund of money.

     

    Do not buy from paper_only, he appears to be a crook and should not be allowed to sell on the boards.

    hm

     

    There was some controversy regarding paper_only and potentially trimmed books a little while back.
