pemart1966 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) If not spelled out in the auction, I ALWAYS ask sellers - BEFORE I bid - how they plan to package the comic. If I don't like what I'm hearing, I'll tell them how to do it properly. Most are grateful for the information and are glad to do it. If I get refusal or radio silence, I don't buy/bid.

A collector's inexperienced ex, maybe? EDIT: Oh, this is old. NM That's an awful lot of reading into the gender of a person from a thumbnail. Also, women do collect comics too sometimes.

This means I acknowledge the paint may not mean it's a female. Relax. And if this is a woman who collects comics and paints her nails black, she doesn't know squat about shipping, so I assume it's a non-collector or novice first. I'm sure that's offensive on some level if someone tries hard enough. Semicentennial and MetalPSI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
