It's really nice to see companies that take the time to respond and believe in managing their customer concerns and online reputation.

 

As a sidebar to this, and from reading various ads/listings, it seems sparklecitycomics has built it's model by co-branding using eBay's auction platform.

 

It is rather unfortunate that in the last 5 years especially, eBay's decisions to anonymize bidders and a wide range of changes to their feedback features and the prevalent use of private ID's has really shaken people's confidence, especially on high ticket items.

 

This inevitably will have a trickle effect on anyone using eBay to auction and market high-end comics.

 

It seems the only way to sidestep the eBay kerfuffle is to set-up your own auction/consignment site.

Yeah--mbhighlander is the dealer who basically bought up all the decent slabbed copies of All-American # 17-25 back in 2010 to capitalize on the Green Lantern movie hype.

 

He then relisted them at insane (30-50%) mark-ups in his eBay store and they sat for a year+ until he finally let them go at auction, where many sold for less than he paid because the GL movie hype didn't really extend to the Golden Age Alan Scott character.

 

 

Boy you had to be a psychic to predict the outcome of that plan.
