LEMONS to LEMONADE, 9 comics for a donation to CHARITY Free Shipping!

[skypinkblu]

Ever have one of those "issues" you just can't resolve and it's in danger of annoying you? ..Well, that is the case here. I purchased some books from a fairly new member ...I was trying to support , who stated he/she was having a problem...things just somehow went wrong from there.

 

When I posted my the grades in the thread for most of these, said VF/NM. They were changed after my post...whether it was because he had to catch up and made an error to begin with, didn't understand what common sense procedure would dictate and didn't know they should not be changed after an , or whether he/she was actually afraid of me (as the response suggested, and changed them for that reason, it doesn't matter.

 

For some reason, I can't fathom, even though I offered to pay shipping, he/she will not take them back.

 

Anyway, to make a too long story short...I'm here with some books, that *I* think are much much lower grade than what I thought I was purchasing. I am lucky enough to all ready have copies in these grades or even slightly better...I'm not smiling when I look at them, and I enjoy smiling at comic books (yes, I understand that's insane...but so be it..

 

So, I'd like to turn this rather sour incident(for me) into a more potable drink, by adding a little sugar.

 

I always feel good when I can change something that makes me unhappy, into something that makes me feel good, so here is the deal. I paid $33.00 including postage. If anyone wishes to post an for $33.00, that person can donate the $33.00 to any charity of his or her choice and I will ship the books to him/her, no charge in the US, if you are out of the US and you don't mind a flat rate envelope, I'll ship them for 1/2 price..

 

You can of course, donate more, I just want to know the name of the charity and the amount. The donation will be on the honor system.

 

If I don't see a post for $33.00, I'll take offers on here, or by PM until 11 PM tonight, best offer at that time, gets it.

 

Oh, and one other thing, I ALWAYS take returns...but not on these... You donate for these, you own them.. If I was wrong, btw, and they are MUCH higher than I am stating, well...then you got a great bargain, and good luck to you ! Enjoy!

 

Thanks!.

Well, it's always nice to hear something nice:)

 

Maybe it was that different drum I was traveling to...

 

I love comics and I love the hobby and if you can't have fun, what is the point?

[skypinkblu]

Awww, there must be someone interested in these...

 

How about $25.00? to the charity of your choice, it's that time of year...and free shipping:)

[skypinkblu]

WOw, I thought this was a good idea, but no takers?

 

I was hoping someone here could use them...however, I'll think of something:)

 

I'll be out of town for a bit, so the offer is now closed.

It was an excellent idea...but yeah, most of those books are soo fugly that we don't want them either.

I might have to pay you NOT to send them to me.

 

Sorry you had to take one on the chin with this one.

However, you still have come out looking TruBlue over this sale...which fits quite nicely with your avatar and posting colors . (thumbs u

[Comicdey]

May I suggest a great one.

A $25 donation will buy a family a dozen chicks and the training needed to go into business raising hens and both selling eggs and feeding the family.

 

$30 will buy a family a bee hive,letting them start their own honey selling business.

my company matches any donation up to a max aggregate total up to $5,000, so I'll be able to double the $25 through work.
