Popular Post F For Fake Posted March 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2018 Well, not trying to turn this thread into 24/7 Parrillo, but had to post these! Wasn't able to make it to Gem City this weekend, so I had to make do with a trip to HPB today. Scored all of these Vampis for $2 each! (plus I had a 10% off coupon and a gift card leftover from Xmas, so it was win-win.) Jimbo749, badback83, speedcake and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeCrush Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Looks like the place to buy Parrillo covers is in comic stores and not online. Those are great prices, especially for Vampirella #19, which usually range between $50 and $100 now depending n condition. That being said, I just won a 5 copy lot for Parrillo's virgin Venom 161 comics. And best of all, eBay allowed me to use the 20% off coupon they had going that supposedly expired at 8AM this morning. Why a company would stop a promotion at 8AM on a particular day makes absolutely no sense to me. Thankfully, I had taken a screnshot of the promotion: And as you can clearly see, it says the promotion is good though March 26th, not good until 8Am on March 26th. So after sending eBay a copy of this screenshot and spending about 20 minutes on the phone, they wound up honoring the coupon, which gave me $17 off the total cost of the auction. So I got each copy for just under $14 piece. Not bad considering most are selling for $35-$50+.

Maybe I got a customer service rep that didn't know what they were doing or maybe they looked at the ridiculous amount of stuff I buy on eBay and figured $17 bucks just wasn't a big issue in regards to making a long term customer that spends a lot of money happy.

Popular Post Buzzetta Posted March 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2018 With recent eBay incentives I picked up these three books. As of now these will be part of the permanent collection. I have an incredible piece of art on the way though that I cannot wait to share. First book is signed by Shatner. Books two and three are decent examples of Stan Lee's signature on books he actually wrote.

Popular Post mattn792 Posted March 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2018 The 8.0 and 8.5 got all in a tizzy after I bought the 9.2 and keep threatening to go solo, so the band is officially breaking up at C2E2. This may very well never happen again, so I'll enjoy it for the next week... Larryw7, ADAMANTIUM, Paddy_McShillihan and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
