Partial trades will be considered. The book is gorgeous. I believe this was a good value purchase at the Berk auction and it is less about profiting on it than other buying opportunities I need to partake in. One of the best Golden Age covers ever and the church copy to boot. Awesome! Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I edited the prices to be slightly raised and then offered a 10% discount to get the costs down on each book to a break even level. Some people saw this as manipulation and I can see how that appears and I apologize for that. Most of these books were priced within 10-15% of what I paid for them and to do a 10% price cut across the board would have put me under cost on some books that I did not want to take a loss on so those books were raised before the price cut but the end result was still lower than the previous price, but in some cases only by a few percent. There was no intention to deceive. Those who know me and have dealt with me here know that is not in my character. I want to apologize to anyone who was offended. As a result of this I will NEVER be offering percentage based discounts on my threads in the future. If a discount is to be made it will be by slashing the price, showing the old price and the new price. There are some pretty excellent books in this thread and more to be added. In spite of how often I post books for sale here this is NOT a business for me by any means- this is a hobby- and something that distracts me at times from running a pretty active company with lots of daily concerns. The money spent with me is reinvested back into the comic community, just like it is for most people who buy/sell/trade here. This is a great place for us and my reputation here is paramount to me. Sincerely, Rick Wow. Sorry that you would even have to post this disclaimer. I follow your threads enough to see how you are adjusting pricing with any discounts. If someone doesn't like a price they could always make an offer to you or anyone else here. Worst case is you get a no. Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomic1950s Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Without Rick's awesome sales threads there would be a huge loss in cool Golden Age books for sale here. I can't thanks him enough for all the stuff he offers on the boards for super prices. I have bought several books from him that I could not have found anywhere else. Keep on posting Rick!

Ricksneatstuff Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Action Comics 252- CGC 4.0- OW- $1750 90- Day Average $1620. I think this one presents better than most 4.0 copies with great color. Sold as 5.0 raw by famous comic dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Rick, that 9.4 Church Wonderworld 13 is just a spectacular book, and I also think you picked it up at a great price in auction. Whomever bought it still got a rather fair deal I would have to say. Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbyusc Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Great Collection of books! I really interested in seeing what you are saving up for! Love to see a fellow collector going for something big Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff R. Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 That Action Comics 252 looks extremely nice for a 4.0. I can understand why the previous owner rated it a 5.0. I have a reprint of that issue, and it is a great read. From back in the day when people actually bought comics to read and enjoy. This one is on my wish list. Good luck with the sale, Rick. I might tease you a lot, but that's just because you are so easy to read, too. No one can question your love for comics or your integrity.

Anyone who knows you or who has purchased books from you knows you are honest, fair, and a great guy to do business with. I have personally purchased from you and I have never been disappointed. You were easy to work with and you are a great asset to these boards. Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
