In this season of giving, I would ask for any and all donations to help me through this pain filled time. Odds are that I won't live to see next summer, so I am more asking for monetary donations to help my family not have to pay so much to doctor's and hospitals so much after I am gone. 

Also, would love to sell any of the graded comics I have  to be able to help in that regard also.

PayPal account is s8zaphod@aol.com

 

Thank you for your time and your generosity!

God Bless!

If you had sent these off to MyComicShop when it was first recommended several months ago, they would have already sold and been paid to you via check by now. I still suggest that route, as they are guaranteed to sell in their auction format, which runs every single week.

Great advice.  Assuming health issues are deteriorating, I’d personally ship as much as possible to mycomicshop or another consigner as soon as possible.  
 

it may not absolutely maximize value, but assuming family members aren’t into comics, it makes more sense to get the guaranteed money ASAP and save them the work later.  (Or save yourself from doing it with worse health later.)

I AM SHOCKED! I am dying and instead of offers of financial help, I get a couple of "I told you so's". WOW! A demonstration of having no morals.

For those of you who have bought from me in the past, I cannot thank you enough! My words are inadequate to my amount of emotion I wish I could convey. 

I would ask again for anyone to buy something listed, or if not interested, please consider simply donating some money to help me and my family with medical bills and funeral expenses.

You can donate directly to my PayPal account at s8zaphod@aol.com.

 

Thank You!

God bless!

People offered financial advice on how to sell your books which is a kind gesture I think 

[Ryan.]

I made a suggestion, based on my own experience, on how to convert inventory into cash with as minimal effort as possible. I guess that makes me a terrible human.

I’m sorry for what you are going through, but your anger is misdirected.  They gave you some great advice. They were trying to help you and get you more money.

You're going about this completely wrong if you're trying to get your books sold or solicit donations.

Some may know my struggles with cancer being diagnosed when I turned 40 in 2010 as it has been a part of conversations here in times past. Fast forward to today, I've been through hell and back - by the grace of God (whether whoever reads this believes in my God or not from a Christian standpoint), I'm here to write this response.

I completely understand your frustration, though I don't know your exact battle. BUT to call every/anyone as having no morals - I disagree with asserting that accusation, especially since you don't know each member personally. I can say with confidence that the majority of members here would help if they were able to. Realizing your desperation, which I have experienced, consider a more low-key approach for what it is worth. 

I pray for your good health and strength through your struggles...again understanding just how difficult it is to battle cancer. For me it is Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and I've been fighting the ups and downs for 12 years now. I have had close to 40 infusions of various sorts and went through R-CHOP in 2018 (which just about killed me). To say the least, I should have Spidey powers at this point!  Currently, I'm four years in remission from the 2018 scare, and praying that the next episode does not come any time soon - as it is statically going to be worse than my previous fights with this beast.

That being said, the advice given by others is meant to provide you with a more streamlined and hopefully quicker approach to selling your comics. Obviously, the respondents care about your situation (even if they have no experiences themselves) to offer crucial advice to help you.

There was a point in time where I was forced (so-to-speak) to sell of dozens of high-end comics, both graded and not to help pay for my medical bills. Pressuring others is not an approach that will normally be successful in my opinion for what that is worth.

I donated some books last time around in an effort to help.   

But, I had to tap out when the OP posted this:

“My reading copy of Creatures of the Id, I would say vf/vf+ condition.  $300”

This suggests to me that you have a slabbed copy as well.  I’m sorry, but I’m not going to make donations so that you can hold onto your “keepers”.  
 

If that isn’t the case, then feel free to correct my wrongful assumption.

idk, to me, this seller has gone about all these sale threads (and there's been many) in the worst way possible.   and continues to ignore many ideas on how to get the funds he is looking for.

 

with that said. I pray for you through this trying and troubling time.

Sorry, I was overly emotional with my last post. My apologies for insulting anyone. I was just taken back by the perceived tone of the first couple of replies and lashed out. Again very sorry. 

When it comes to Creatures of the Id, I already sold my graded copies, the "reader" copy of it is all I have left of it. I am not trying to keep anything. At this point, that would be a useless exercise. I am not keeping any good copies of anything, just trying to sell whatever I have, and for some books that means selling my reader copy, which means it is my last of that book. Sorry if it came off another ways.

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes! Sorry for not always being worthy of them. 

I have having dexterity problems with my hands. Difficult to post anything. Basically if interested in any current listed book or past listed book, see if I still have it and make me an offer if you want, I will get back to you.

Please treasure the time you have. God bless!

I am sorry I missed this post. I've been dealing with my Dad again who had a couple of minor strokes lately after the first one earlier this year. Life is crazy as we all know here!

Send me a DM with what you are selling and I will see if I can help out my friend.

God bless and be well.

Any new update here?

[Semicentennial]

I would assume the OP is doing better since he doesn't seem as desperate to sell his books.
