Up for grabs are my “OO” copies of FF 3 and 4…bought second-hand at my local book store/comic shop circa late ‘60s. Both well-loved copies that present quite nicely for the low grades…note that the separated cover on FF 4 sits very snugly to the book and exhibits no apparent separation with the book sitting in its mylar.

 

Usual sales thread rules…no probies…no HOSers…no deadbeats!

First :takeit: posted wins the book over PMs…PMs/Offers welcome!

Shipping: Included in sales price.

Payment: PP…MO…or CHK. Pay with MO or CHK and I’ll throw in a raw FF 79 in VF- grade…I’ll post a scan later on…

Asking $249 for the #4. NOW $219 SHIPPED!

Tom, congratulations on your Daughter's graduation!

 

Good luck with the sale.

 

 

coming to visit this weekend. will be at a show..you coming?

call me.............. :roflmao:

 

Sure Jamie Graham, tell me where you will be set up. I'll be sure to come by and see your overpriced drek that you think is worth so much more because you are at a convention. :eyeroll:

 

I see you aren't coming to Florida Supercon this year? No surprise since I heard you did horribly there last year. Of course, you blamed it on the venue but we all know it's because you are a grumpy curmudgeon who prices comics way above their actual value. :facepalm:

 

And, for the record...I wouldn't give you a penny of my money. I learned my lesson dealing with you. You seem to forget they printed more than just the comics you own. There are plenty of other dealers who know how to treat customers and will get my business. (thumbs u

 

Now, back to Tom's thread. Sorry Tom for posting this in here. Jamie Graham felt the need to thread krap here

OK...what is up boardies??!!

I have tried to price these much-sought extremely low digit SA semi-keys at fair value...but so far, either anyone viewing this post either (a) already owns these books or (b) thinks I've over-priced them or © wants them but can't afford them at my ask... hm

 

Not just ready to give these away...bear in mind the following...

(aa) I am happy to offer these as straight-up trade or trade and cash for any book(s) on my want-list... :wishluck:

(bb) I am happy to consider time-payments up to 90 days... (thumbs u

(cc) I am happy to consider reasonable offers less than my individual ask or combined ask if you send me a 25-word minimum essay on why I should sell the book to you... :insane:

 

Feel free to Krap-bump my thread anytime...no hurry, but would like to sell these to a fellow boardie...

 

Go Kings!! (as in hockey) :headbang:

Wow! That's big time. I slept on the 91 8.0 winnipeg. It had some pre-chips but I kind of wanted it to go with my 87 winnipeg. But them's the breaks, like you said, there will be more.
