Raw Satire - CLOSED 0

[EC ed]

We don't have enough satire-themed sales threads around here. I'm about to rectify that. 

Unless otherwise mentioned in individual book grading notes, all books are complete with no missing pages, cutouts, etc., and no known restoration or pressing.

Here's a link to my KUDOS THREAD

I try to grade conservatively and 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 (especially after everyone has already had a fair shot at the books at my original asking price  ). Thanks for looking/shopping! 

I'll keep going until I run out of satire comics, and send invoices at the end. If you're ready to check out before then, just let me know!

General Rules

• No PL/HOS members, and I reserve the right to ask for references if you are a new/low post count boardie making a large purchase. 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, $10 for 6 or more books (of course, if shipping cost is less than this based on your location, I'll only charge you the actual, lower cost)
• Canada, UK or Australia:
  • we'll have to figure/add incremental shipping charges (either via first class or priority mail international, depending on package value and weight)
• 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. After two weeks, books are not returnable for any reason, except as specified below...
• 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.

Thanks!
