Whew! Lotsa stuff, eh? Well, for $64, I don't feel too bad. Some funny stuff in there, and the Peter Parkers are actually in better shape than the one's I already own, so that's a bonus. Needless to say, this is about what I expected. And, I don't envy the seller one bit. It must have been alot of work for him to get all the orders together. Shoot, it took me 10 minutes just to flip thru them all. Anyway, what do you guys think? Trash, treasure, typical??

Depends on how you look at it I guess. At $64 for 68 books (unless I counted wrong) you got them at approx. $.95 a book. Doesn't sound that bad to me considering the avg. cover price I'm sure is about $2 and up.

Looks like a reasonable haul for the price. Plenty of stuff to read!

[Bonds25]

It's a bunch of trash, but I guess it's an OK deal for $1 a book. However, how many of those books would you have bought for $1?

 

I am eagerly awaiting my shipment. UGH! I'm sure I'll be one of the lucky ones to win the big $$ books - not!

 

Does anyone want to volunteer to email all the winners to see if anyone got one of the big dollar books?

[Bugaboo-migration]

I agree. You did get plenty of stuff to read.....and it's kind of nice to do that with these everyon once in a while.

 

However, how many of those books would you have probably passed on if you had spotted them in a fifty cent bin?

[chrisco37]

Matt -

 

He actually included a letter stating that he would rather not reveal the "winners" unless they give him the OK. We'll have to wait and see on this one......

If you just want to read and look at new comics that you havent seen before you did great.(Treasure) If your trying to make money I would say(Trash)...ED

[Lockjaw]

The comics I received from this guy are "junkier" than the books you received. However, I feel he should have been open about who won the "high-grade/expensive" comics. I wonder if people he aleady knew bid on 50 - 100 lots, and he sent them the high grade books (and maybe not the most expensive ones at that). For a power seller I was not particularly impressed with his auctions (unless you are a fan of Macross/Robotech toys/Game cards like yugi wugio cards).

>>He actually included a letter stating that he would rather not reveal the "winners" unless they give him the OK.

 

Ah, his family and friends should be fine with it.

[MikeS]

I won 5 lots and I just got an e-mail from another eBay-er asking if I got anything good. Guess he is trying to figure out if it was just a big scam or not. I still haven't got my comics - but so far there haven't been any reports of anyone getting anything high grade / CGC comics are there?

[chrisco37]

Yeah, I got that email too. I told the guy that, IMO, it wasn't a scam. I invited him to check the boards out so he can see the work of rickdoog, the scam-buster!

Re: Junk or Treasure?

 

I've been taught at a very early age, if you don't have something nice to say, it's better to say nothing at all.

 

So, very happy ya' got some Peter Parkers you could use.

[Bonds25]

I got an email from one of the bidders today asking me if I got one of the "bonus" books. He was pissed off and called the auction a scam. We shall see.

 

I'm holding off on feedback until I find out if anyone got the "bonus" books.

[Bonds25]

It's not a scam if someone actually won the books. I do find it hard to believe though that every single book in his longboxes was a worthless POS . He made it sound like a lot of the books were collectible and worth more than 10 cents.
