Note: images are from GCD Oh, easy for me. I go #17 hands down. #18 although a beautiful cover, is very disturbing to me. As a matter of fact, I have never purchased a copy because of it.

In a way, worse, he is deserting his kid. I can't imagine doing such a thing. One of the biggest problems in urban America right now. So many kids from broken homes getting into bad trouble because they lack the supervision , direction and love that they need. OK, off the soap box... jimjum12 and GoldCap 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Last night on eBay a low grade copy of CL 27, w/ detached cover and missing centerfold, sold for $461.78. I find this simply incredible. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Cinderella-Love-27-April-1955-St-John-Matt-Baker-Cover-Art-/132512477473?ul_noapp=true&nma=true&si=nTE0FMFJqCVBDLLCB4tf5gQdAOw%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the relatively recent burst that later Fox books have experienced, books that many collectors rarely cared about back in the day.

If I'm thinking about spending that much on an obviously low grade book, I'd make sure to get the facts straight, one way or another, before pulling the trigger. Suppose the buyer just assumes the book to be complete, receives it, finds out it isn't, and tells the seller he wants to return it. Seller refuses; points out the condition is clearly stated in the description. Buyer is stuck, unhappy, and out $461.87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebay sides with the buyer more than the seller. They gave the sellers a bone by allowing them to relist their krap for all eternity for free. Buyers get the advantage of leaving bad feedback. Sellers are terrified of bad feedback, since they've done away with retaliatory feedback. Any conflict usually results in favour of the buyer. Ebay needs more buyers than sellers. They'll always have sellers who list their krap for all eternity for free. Edited March 1, 2018 by comicnoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
