I like all the books I get from Zilaf4

 

But now I've got an ebay gripe.

 

I USED to promote my other books in each auction listing.

In other words, after my title description and pic, I would also let potential bidders know what else I was selling that week in other listings or upcoming.

 

And ebay BLASTED me saying it was "keyword spamming" (even though I argued I had been listing ALL my auctions this way for 10 years).

 

They shut down every listing that I had and I had to start over.

So my person_without_enough_empathy is, obviously other sellers do the same thing all the time and they don't get shut down.

 

I hate those at Ebay that make the mess up as they go along, but damn if they don't want your 15% of sales money. And PAYPAL %

 

Just venting.

Thanks.

Oh, and since we're griping about eBay, I'd like to take the time to thank Dan Greenhalgh for listing about five hundred slabbed Copper & Modern books in the Silver Age section. Makes the search that much more interesting

What an azz. I'd love to hear his explanation for that one.

after going through my storage room i have come to the conclusion that I could be zillaf for about 3-5 months given that I have 2-5 copies of most BA non-key marvels (with the exception of the early X-Mens), sometimes 5-10 copies, and dupes of many DCs.

 

unfortunately, unlike zillaf, the vast bulk of my copies are in the VG to VF range, not VF to NM, so I don't think my $ results would be so great.

---------------

Hitting "sell similar" and not remembering to change that information in each subsequent listing?

 

Honestly, listing CA books in silver isn't going to help sell them! Bronze is a little iffier, particularly with early bronze.

2-5 or 5-10 copies? You mean you could be zillaf for 1 week! :baiting:

pet peeve of mine as well. i've excluded him as a seller from my searches. i might miss a book now and then but i can't stand to slog through hundreds of copper/modern in the silver age section.

:o You can do that? Someone please tell me how, I would cut my searches in half if I could exclude certain sellers.

Man,

 

This Firelake Collection is graded horribly...

 

http://cgi.ebay.com/AMAZING-SPIDER-MAN-1-VERY-GOOD-4-0-1963_W0QQitemZ280212363144QQihZ018QQcategoryZ32739QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

 

This is not a 4.0. I just bought a slabbed FF #2 in about the same condition (same kind of edge tear and splitting) and it is a 2.5. This issue may be just slightly better (mine has a little soiling too), so maybe a 3.0.

 

Then look at the next book...

The day that would grade a 5.5 is the day I jump off a bridge. At best that would be a 4.5, and I doubt it would CGC at that. Probably a 4.0.

 

All these RAW key books have been graded at least two and often three grades higher than they really are. I feel sorry for any suckers that pay for the listed grades....
