Comic on craigslist 3 3

[Fan Boy]

Try your offer and see what he say. His offer in the ad said $250, yet you said over the phone he wants $900 for everything? I must be missing something with the big difference.  Good luck with the sale and like everyone said here,  count the pages.

$250 was just for the one book. Each comic was priced in the pictures

Good luck!

update – so I spoke with him for a little bit he's basically selling off most of his Comics and does not want to use eBay because of bad past experiences and shipping. All the books were complete and ranged in grade from good to fine. We settled on a price of $800. He said he is listing more books next week.

Nice!  Seems like a fair deal for both of you.  Maybe he'll let you take a look at the future books he's selling before he lists them on craigslist?

[spiderman12]

Yes he is providing me a list of books he is selling ?

Ask him if you can do the exchange at a police station then when he says no you wont have to waste any more time with him.

So judgemental...

Good to see that the OP was wise and was able to separate the good advice from the not-so-good advice.

Yeah there's no reason to be suspicious of a CL key book ad.  Try again.

The important thing to remember is you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.  Happy to see a boardie come home with those.

I mean if someone advises someone else not to walk in a bad neighborhood and they do it anyway and they make it through no problems that does not mean the advice was not so good.  It means they got lucky.

I understand but with some patience on ebay you could get all those books for around the same price.  It wasnt a steal or anything.

I do appreciate everyone's feedback the good and the bad. I understand craigslist is not all positive. And this exchange I think I got a good deal not a great deal. I'm happy with the box and I think they were priced fairly. I enjoyed seeing them first hand versus eBay
