Revival 0

[Solar]

Yeah, it'd be the first one which is what I was thinking. I know some people on the boards have contacted me about it. I already sold 2 to boardies. I am planning on keeping a full run of this at 9.8+ but I have other raws that should grade 9.8. I've just never been first to eBay and figured it'd be fun. Although If it sells for $20, i'll be pissed,

 

Like 75% of the print run should be 9.8 or better. You won't have trouble replacing it. And it definitely won't go for $20.

 

Just do it, so I can

Ok. I'll put it up tonight but I do charge a $5 auction watching fee. I'm still trying to collect from the 13 people watching my other auction. If you want to watch both, i'll do a discount for $8.

if you're the only one, do it, if others pop up, i wouldn't. I think it will get hotter than it is now so i'm not selling any Revival, i'll just let it ride and see what happens. I usually wait for the 2nd heat wave before selling (hopefully there is one).

title is hot now, sell it while it's hot, especially if you're first in and have more as backup.

Thanks! (thumbs u

 

I think the story has potential and as long as the writers don't blow it, this book can keep rising.

When faced with the option "is" vs "can" I will choose the former.

Well I found 5 of the Revival #1 1:10 Variants in a Variant Box at one of my local comic shops today and I went to purchase 2 of the 5 copies.

 

When I took them up to the counter to pay for them the guy behind the counter looked at them for a about 5 to 10 seconds without saying anything and his face started turning red and he asked me if they had anymore of them in the Variant box and I told him yes they have 3 more of them and he told me hold on a second.

 

Then he walked over to the Variant box and pulled out the other 3 copies they had so I start thinking that maybe they might have a limit of 1 per customer on their Variants or something like that and then when he starts walking back towards the counter he starts telling me they were supposed to pull all the Revival #1 Variants a few weeks ago and he puts the other 3 copies on the desk behind the counter so I start thinking OK no big deal.

 

Well, he then pulls out a price gun and puts a $70 price tag over the $10 price tag that was on the 2 copies that I had on the counter and he tells me my total with tax is $151.20!!!! So of course I get pissed and start yelling at the guy and he asks me to calm down and he'll give them to me for $60 each for the inconvenience and I told well that doesn't work for me because they had them priced at $10 each and I wasn't going to pay more than that for them.

 

So after I'm done person_without_enough_empathying about what he just did and telling him that what he just did was wrong, He then tells me look the best I can do for you is I'll sell you one for $10 and the other one for $60 so that would be like buying 1 and getting one free. Then I tell him are you Fu@king serious and I tell him charging me $10 for both of them would be like buying 1 and getting 1 free because they were originally priced at $10 each and I don't care about the price tag that's on them now.

 

Even though I was extremely pissed at this point I ended up purchasing 1 copy for $20 and after I paid for it and started walking away from the counter to leave he then tells me "Please don't come back in my store ever again because I don't want to put up with your bad attitude again!!!!"

 

Well needless to say I wasn't going to ever go back to that shop again after what he just did so he could have saved his time and breath on telling me to never come back. I just don't see how that place is still in business if that's the way he treats his customers. I know I wasn't in the wrong for yelling at this guy because what he did was BS.

 

Has anyone else ever had this type of happen to them before?

One can hope... (or was I supposed to say "is" there).

[HugeRosen]

Wow.

[N/A]

Are camera phones only available in Canada? Something similar happened once. I took my phone out of my pocket, snapped a picture, ripped the comic in half (or as well as I could being bagged and boarded, threw my $10 (or whatever price it was) on the counter and walked out. I have been back since and I get treated......differently.

[ItsJustRyan]

Wow.

 

Double wow.... Not cool. He should have sold you the two books, realized HIS mistake and then marked up the other ones. Sorry bro.

[KONG]

what a tool. Where was this?

[krighton]

'can' is more exciting than 'is'.....not necessarily the most logical.

 

$70 for the 1:10 is a bit of a stretch at this point....i'm surprised he even knew they were 'hot'.

Can is certainly more exciting which is why gambling exists. If someone is looking to roll the dice why not hit the casino instead of filling a room with long boxes?

[krighton]

at least the wife knows where i am in a room of long boxes.

 

also my chances at winning playing 'comics' is higher than playing poker. For me at least.

I think situations like this always call for a name and shame.

Are you sure?

for me, yes, maybe not for everyone.....i like the buying and selling anyway, you don't get anything tangible from gambling except money. I like the thrill of the chase of the next hot book.

 

Everyone collects for different reasons.
