who's got a solid, mid-grade FF#5 for sale/trade?

[asmfan]

I am looking for a decent copy of FF#5, the first appearance of Doctor Doom.

 

A 6.0 would be my ideal copy but I'd settle for something a little better or worse. slabbed or un-slabbed but I'd need to see scans if it's un-slabbed.

 

I'll happily pay the average GPanalysis price or guide price for the book. Maybe even a slight premium depending on the copy. I MAY be willing to trade if I have what you are looking for. I only collect pre-1965 Silver-age marvels.

 

Any takers?

I'll have one in a couple of weeks but it won't be priced at guide.

So you are going to be selling it below guide, what a guy!!!

 

Any idea when you will be getting your next batch back from CGC? Please specify the year as say March 24th could be one month, or one year and one month. As long as the turnaround times are, that might not be a joke.

I'm guessing that I will have it around April 1st.

[asmfan]

at least you're up-front about your price expectations... but your post is very vague. any more details on this book you will have in a few weeks? slabbed or un-slabbed? grade?

[blazingbob]

It's raw right now and I will be having it graded. It's in a box right now packed and going to the post office. Being that I didn't buy it for guide means I won't be selling it for guide when it comes back.

[asmfan]

I wasn't giving you a hard time on price, was just curious to know more about the book. I'll keep my eye out for it, let me know when it comes back if you don't mind.

Of this year?

FF 5 CGG 1.8

 

More low grade. No, it's not mine. But BIN is less than last sale on GPA.

[asmfan]

thanks for the tip... not quite my cup of tea but thanks.

There are 3 midgrade on Ebay Item #6512617748 and #6513731284 and #6514161126 The last 2 are from Neatstuffcollectables. You may want to stay away from them two.

Is Neatstuff Carbonarro.. What's wrong with this seller..??

[asmfan]

thanks, I've seen those books on the Bay.

 

I'm looking for slightly nicer copies. If I believed the Neatstuff book would actually end up being a 5.0 as advertised then I'd buy it, but I've had nothing but terrible experiences buying from them.

 

They are:

 

1) Slow at shipping

2) Unresponsive to e-mails and when they do respond it's typically late

3) Aggressive with their grading (at least on books I've bought from them)

4) Very prone to make mistakes, i.e. mailing to the wrong address, sending wrong books (not to me but to others I've read about on the forums)

 

 

I would never buy an expensive raw book from them for all of the above reasons.

buying from mike c. in person is a lot different (and more entertaining) than purchasing from his ebay persona, which isn't him, but rather a bunch of guys in his warehouse.

Does anyone else have a raw low-grade copy for less than this ($250 for a GD copy)? I'm thinking about getting this one if no one else has one that's cheaper.

[rjpb]

I'm guessing that structurally that 1.8 copy is nicer than G-, but man is that blue scribbling all over the logo ugly.

[tilleycs]

I'm just looking for a reading copy, so it's no biggie to me. Sure, I'd love to find one without the scribbling for the same price, but could I?

I agree. I have been to the warehouse to pick up an eBay win before. I have also had numerous e-mail exchanges with regards to eBay purchases. Most of the time I deal with Brian, but I NEVER dealt with Carbonaro with regards to eBay/online purchases.

I also agree Dealing with him in person is actually quite fun, and you can get a decent deal!!! Whoever is handling the online business should have been fired 3 Years ago.
