  1. I bought a box as well. I think you need to read the original ad... It said at least 300 Marvel/DC. A long box contains more than 300 comics if they are unbagged/unboarded. My box contained about 300 Marvel/DC comics. It also contained about 40 comics that were clearly used as padding/filler (Heroes, Inc.) I'm assuming you got 35 copies of Heroes, Inc. I think that ad said generally VG and up as well so I wasn't expecting to find 9.4+ comics. (I bought them to stick the books onto my comic rack generally.) I don't think this thread is the place for this actually. Original Sales Thread: http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3225807#Post3225807 I counted the box. With the 35 copies of Heroes Inc there were a total of 303 books. If they were just filler then I was shorted 10% of the total I was suppose to receive. When someone list grades ranging from vg to vf I expect some books to fall in the fine range and some to actually be vf. I got a box of beaters. The only books that weren't completely shot were the 35 copies of the Heroes book. He also guaranteed no more than five of an issue and I had double digit books that had anywhere from 7 to 16 copies each. After you include all the other dupes at 2-5 each on other books I ended up with a massive collection of super low grade duplicates of common 2nd string titles. In short, a big box of mess. As for this not being the place I was instructed by a mod to make this post in this specific thread. If others were happy with their lots I am sincerely happy for them. Perhaps I got a very sub-standard lot but for what I received and what I paid I feel completely scammed.
  2. I got ripped off by Comicseekers. I responded to a thread he had advertising long boxes of bronze comics. The box was suppose to contain only Marvel and DC comics and only be from the 70's. He guaranteed there wouldn't be any more than five of a given issue in the lot. Before buying I had messaged him telling him not to send me a box of beaters and we completed the sale. When I got the box it wasn't as advertised. First, there were lots of comics that weren't Marvel or DC books. There were books from the 80's in the lot. I received massive duplication of issues including a whopping 35 copies of one book. Worst of all the entire lot was low grade garbage. These books were beat. Pieces missing, water damage, stains, writing, tears, ect. were present on the vast majority of the books. Wouldn't issue a full refund. Hope the other people who bought these same lots fared better than I did.
