Golden Age Crime Comics - THREAD CLOSED

[EC ed]

 

The month of October is approaching...while you're prepping for halloween and spooky stuff, don't forget that October is also "Crime Prevention Month", as designated by the National Crime Prevention Council. This fact, combined with all of the recent discussion in Gold about crime comics, has inspired me to dig through my "to be sold sometime whenever I can get around to it" boxes and see what crime comics I can offer up.

 

These will all be raw...it'll probably take me into next week to get everything listed, but why not go ahead and start now

 

If you buy something and want to cash out before I finish the thread, let me know...otherwise I'll send out "invoices" after I close down the thread.

 

- General Rules:

• No PL/HOS members. Aside from that, the first taker wins, whether in the thread or via PM, based on time stamp.
• I consider a book to be taken as of the instant that terms have been agreed to by both me and the buyer. I'll mark books SOLD as soon as reasonably possible; if I put a book ON HOLD, that book is not available for purchase until it comes back off HOLD

- Payment:

• I'll take PayPal, personal checks, or USPS money orders;
• I'll expect payment within 10 calendar days, or the book will be available for sale again (unless we've made other payment arrangements)
• I'll gladly consider longer-term time payments, but PM me to discuss terms before taking a book if you need that.

- Shipping Terms:

• USA:
  - Raw Comics: shipping via priority mail, $6 for up to 5 books, $12 for 6 or more books
  
• Canada, UK or Australia: we'll figure incremental shipping charges for boxed/trackable/insured shipping (either first class or priority mail international, depending on package value and destination); please don't ask me to understate value on customs forms
• Other International Destinations: case by case basis...I'll need to see if I'm comfortable with available shipping options

- Returns/refunds:

• General policy:
  I will accept returns for any reason within two weeks of your receipt of the books, as long as the books are returned to me as they were when you received them. You cover shipping cost back to me, unless I messed up. Note that pressing of books will render them unreturnable, because the book will no longer be in the same condition as when I sold it to you. After two weeks, books are not returnable for any reason, except as specified below in the section entitled “Restoration and raw books.”
   
  
• Restoration and raw books:
  I will offer a six month return policy for any raw books I have sold as unrestored that you submit for grading that come back as restored (or conserved). Upon the return to me of the slabbed book within six months of the date I shipped the book to you, I will refund your original amount paid to me (for the book plus shipping them to you). I will not refund any fees associated with grading/slabbing, including shipping the books to the grading company, or return shipping to me. Per the above “General policy,” if you have the book pressed in the process of grading it, it is unreturnable.

For what it's worth, you can check out my kudos thread HERE

 

As always, I'm trying to cut to the chase on prices from the get-go. Of course, if you think I'm off on something, I'm happy to discuss.

 

Unless otherwise mentioned in individual book descriptions, all books are complete with no missing pages (I check ), no cutouts, etc., and no known restoration or pressing.

 

Thanks for looking/shopping!
