Stefan_W Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 The long boxes on their sides with comics stacked without bags or boards make me cringe and sob a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay with PayPal. 6 months later if you're not happy with the business or stock or there's been a downturn in the market open a case with PayPal. ~ Some arsehole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Teacher Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I would say one of the skills that this owner doesn't possess is organization. You have books laying around haphazardly, and there are several long boxes stored upright with no lid. I would imagine if you brushed up against one of those boxes, all the books would fall out. To be honest, I'm not sure that I would take this offer even if the asking price was $1000. First, I have absolutely no place to store that many comics. Second, going through all those boxes to determine what you purchased would be a great undertaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadroch Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 You are buying a business. It's called work, not fun. A lot of those boxes look empty or near empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterymachine Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I would guess that 50% of those books are modern independent schlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning55 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 They aren't really selling the eBay store, just the inventory. It says in the description "My eBay name and account remains with me". So you are just buying the stuff, not the business, no customer list, no employees transferring, etc. I guess he's really tired of doing all those small sales. It's time someone stepped up and overpaid for it all at once. But hurry up - he's very busy. Beastfeast, PetuniaGrimm, Beige and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattrixAlien Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) Don't dealers pay around 0.15 a book when they buy collections? He's charging close to a $1 each. Bet he'll pull a lot of the grails if someone shows serious interest. Doesn't mention any in the ad even though it would be another selling point. "Includes AF #15 etc..." The photos look like an ocean of dreck.... Edited May 13, 2022 by MattrixAlien Corrected spelling of dreck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not disagreeing, place is hot mess, but I’ve seen the vertical box setup used for sorting/cataloging/organizing before… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no grails in that warehouse. MattrixAlien and Turnando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
