Some of these eBay buyers crack me up. I sold a comics pro and a regular for $245 listed as nm or better. He emails me and says, great packaging, but there is a spine crease, how can we rectify this?

 

Really? Show me a nm without a spine crease. I told him I would fully refund him, including shipping, if he's not happy. I'm quite sure he's looking for a partial refund, that he won't get. Any guesses if he will send it back? My money is on no...

 

I bet he won't return them. I think he was just fishing for a Partial Refund.

 

Or if he does he might try to return lower grade copies in place of the copies you sent him or he'll try to send you 2nd Print #1s.

 

I recently sold 2 1st Print Thief of Thieves #1s on Amazon and the buyer claimed they weren't in NM+ condition like I listed them as, so I told him he could return them for a refund. Well I get the package in the mail today and he sent me 2 2nd Print #1s instead of the 2 1st Print #1s I sent him. I guess he thought I wouldn't know the difference between the 1st and 2nd printings. Needless to say his 2nd Prints are now on there way back to him and I won't accept another return from him now after what he just tried to pull on me.

 

Unreal. :facepalm:

Reminds me, a few years ago I was in a hurry and made the mistake of sending off a Walking Dead 1 without tracking. So the buyer claimed he never received the book. He quickly filed a complaint, and got his money back.

 

So I got no money, no book back. Banned the person from my auctions. Makes me wonder how many times people pull this little trick.

Guess I will see if the potential of CGC books hitting the market will cool the flame on prices of the raw issues - I have a set of the three first prints up ending tonight and they are only at $36.00 so far - hoping for that end of auction push! Would be nice so I could fund some purchases to actually add to my collection.

This is mine.

I didn't mention it in 'post your auctions' thread yet.

Thanks for finding it.

I don't think I have enough friends (real or Internet) to shill this anywhere but down.

I'm sure you'll do fine. At this point I'd pay more than that for a set... and if a cheapskate like me feels that way, there's hope for us all. :grin:

with over 200 ToT comics at any given time, people have the luxury to just wait till the end to bid on them....or grab a good deal on a BIN.

 

not sure why people started bidding wild on Joel's SS with 6 days left.
