Questions about Comic Book forums on Facebook.

[1Cool]

I'm way behind the times but I've finally found the buying/selling forums on Facebook. I've sent out invites to three of them and only gotten accepted by 1 of them so far - rejected! My question is are these sellers primarily E-Bay sellers are they mostly guys from the boards. I just bought a EOS 2 in NM from a seller on there so I guess I will see how the grading stands up. Anyone have good experiences buying and selling on there?

Run away! Run away now!

Best of luck. Their junk is worth millions, grading is terrible, photos are less then average. If it isn't a hot modern from last week your post will be buried. If you don't ship faster than amazon expect ppls to pm you constantly. Oh and expect ebay raw packing.

Gotcha. My first experience is definitely going in that direction. I bought a set of NM Civil War 1 - 7 for $65 and just got word the books were sold to another buyer right before I took them. I did get a quick refund but it is not a good start.

oh and I forgot.

 

Wanna trade??? I has like good books for your keys we can trade. Offers x-force 1 to 10 for your nm 98.

I don't have x-force 1-10 on hand but I'm betting on them as we speak and I'll probably win

Sorry someone beat you to it...I do have a second one but would require a Wolverine 80 in cgc 9.8 to go with it.

[MetalPSI]

You're crazy, wolverine 80 is worth more than NM 98. Tell you what, I'll do shadowhawk II instead

Ugh. I typically hate trades and there does seem to be a lot of that on there.

[chrisco37]

More or less, a waste of time. I've made a few purchases from one group and had no issues, but I don't really peruse there much.

 

It's eBay, but worse.

 

Lots of lame trade offers (as someone pointed out) and WTB posts that are even more pathetic than the stuff you'll see here.

That may have been the same guy I was bugging about his Aspen #1.

From what I've seen its all people wanting to trade random garbage for key issues and then getting all butthurt when you won't trade with them. The selling price on older or key issues can be astronomical.

And don't forget, no one on Facebook knows the proper time to use sale or sell. Every post is "book for sell' or "I want to sale my book". Drives me nuts.

Correction, no-one on Facebook ever correctly uses homophones, understands tenses, or can distinguish between the noun & verb forms of different words.

 

In conclusion, Facebook is the lowest common denominator of humanity.

Just remember this is people freely expressing themselves. This is a window into today's society. People don't just act like on Facebook. They actually are

I know. It makes me weep for humanity.

Still looking for a decent FB group on comics. Maybe someone from here should start one....

Do it. Take the ball and run with it.

Wouldn't that pretty much be the sales thread on the boards . . on Facebook?
