Came in my mail today, it did make me chuckle, not to sure if he was serious though 893scratchchin-thumb.gif But I know he's lurking! 893naughty-thumb.gif

 

 

Dear Seller:

Could you tell me what the abbreviation: POS stands for? Thanks!

Regards,

~Dave

Hey, was it from an Ebay Comics Board member? (an Ebay name that's a nice car?). They were discussing Action # 1 reprints and one auction had the POS in it. Some thought it might have been a typo and meant DOS (Death Of Superman). Point of sale was mentioned (a freebie from Wal-Mart or something?) and "piece of [!@#%^&^]" was also mentioned. 27_laughing.gif Please let Dave know what you meant

Funny you should say that. the name did have a car in it. And the auction with POS in it was mine!

 

I did actually sell the reprint but the description was a bit of fun. It also included Granny's attic collection, and a few other bits!
