Say what you will, the time has come....

...when you can get more from your LCS than you can off Ebay on raw books, and that includes stuff they do not have on a regular basis in the back issues.

Not sure 'bout that, but I have decided to try some of those snap-dragons in the garden!

Solid plants Doc, bit I've done better at my LCS lately.

How about offering them for sale on the foruums?

Might try that since my feeback is positive 3, but I have nice books as most of you know here.

Just my opinion on the auction, not trying to start a war. I saw the auction, but the pictures were somewhat blurry. You had the Werewolf by Night as a VF+ but even off the blurry scan I could see quite a bit of spine wear & graded it closer to a F+. Using this as a guide, I down graded the Dracula, which you had at F+, to a VG or F ( I really couldn't guess as the scan was very blurry). At those grades guide would have been around $70-$80 (both guiding at around $35 to $40). I really don't think most people expect to get that close to guide on mid grade books on ebay.

Without a large clear scan or a higher feedback rating it probably wasn't worth the chance for most collectors to pay close to guide. I also think sellers see the multiples of guide books get in CGC 9.4+ & can't fathom how their books could go for such a small fraction when they really are in "nice" collectible shape. Personally, my LCS is hardly buying anything these days so it's ebay or nothing on my end.

Exactly my point-as I can get 40 to 60% of guide at my LCS.
