Honestly, I might, would ask for registered mail and pay all shipping charges up front to minimize the concerns you outlined. Lots of red flags as we know here with this one but just a thought. Would ask the 3rd party to open the box and make sure it's not filled with sand. Everyone was new here once and this is a viable alternative for someone new to selling to get cred if they want to establish a selling history.

I am wondering who bought the book (unless I missed it). Whoever that is (if real)- I hope they post their experience. There was a HFH 1 this seller posted that I was tempted to buy for an excellent price. I will kick myself if these sales are legit. Fingers crossed for all involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have 300 posts and have been on the boards for a year. "long standing" would be someone who has been on the Boards for years, preferably one that has bought and sold numerous times and with plenty of Kudos to go with it.

Think he's just buying it, he still needs to find the go between assuming seller goes that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotham Kid Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) If the book sold for $3700 a few months ago and the seller feels like $1900 (50% off) is a fair price because "it's restored" (wtf !?), why not list it on Comiclink for $2100 ? Book will likely be bought instantly, he gets his $1900 and no worries. He gets paid, book gets delivered.

We agreed to have it shipped to me first then pay on receipt. This is incredibly generous and if all goes well he should be commended to agreeing to those terms. misterrmystery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC33 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I was the first I take offer on this book. I even offered more than asking price, $2,500 with no fees to save the seller a bunch of money, but he needs to ship to me first for payment as I have 7 years and a ton of kudos feedback on similar high end books and he is from Bulgaria and has zero feedback. I have not yet heard back on that offer, so I think that demonstrates if it is real or not unless he actually decides to accept it and ship me the book. If that happens, I will surely let everyone know, but I am not holding my breath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
