If you are a long term customer of that bank or company and your credit rating is strong that can also yield a better outcome.

Also having multiple accounts with the same bank or company factors in.

They do like low risk long term customers.

I also expected there would be a shorter time frame to take action on a claim...but if they are rolling with it then no reason to stop the process.

It's time to review my terms and conditions to know better these things.

I have to also say the credit companies may like low risk long term customers...but  they really love customers who might be higher risk and carry a balance long term and get dinged with late fees and etc

Those are the "good" customers. 🤩

Glad I checked back in on this thread. Just found out my book is on his ebay "sold" listings...

Have you filled out the survey? https://r8f0sk8dr88.typeform.com/to/yoKI6552 (be sure to include your board handle here in the notes at the end so I know who I'm helping)

This situation is brutal. Read the other thread that was linked and it’s sad. That thread should be a case study on how not to run a business, handle adversity or unexpected pitfalls and ultimately rectify a self inflicted wound. 
 

Hope that everyone can, at a minimum, recover their books.

I was about to poast that this thread got stale but now I see some new activity!

Roadhawk84 I am really sorry to see that you got caught up in this situation.

That's a tougher spot to be in if your book is showing up as sold but at least there is a trail to follow.

How did you find out about this thread?

There have to be some others out there who might not be aware is my guess.

I have completed the survey. However, as I recall, I hadn't posted anything to any boards at that time so I didn't have a handle to provide. 

I found this thread via reddit.

I know in previous poasts I have discussed books being returned but I don't think I specifically mentioned that my books were returned weeks ago.

At that time we were still waiting for some other folks books that were supposed to be in process for return and it seemed better to stay on the down low while things played out.

The books I got back appear to be the same books I originally submitted.

I think 2 of the 4 books might have gotten a little corner are stress from shipping as they were not packaged the best but otherwise they seem to be in the same condition as when I submitted them.

Hopefully those things can be pressed out.

Getting the books back after there was a good stretch of time that I thought the chance of getting them back was 0% was a bit surreal.

Again big thanks to Saucedog for stepping up and really being key in getting books returned.

I am very grateful for his time and effort in this situation.

I think that's a generic forum-generated link anytime Ebay is typed into the forum. 

this...

some kind of cross licensing deal from an ill-fated venture.

Update: As of this week it sounds like four more customer invoices have been shipped, including the infamous Flash #1! There is one more customer I'm waiting for address confirmation from, but their books are all accounted for and ready to be mailed out.

Once all those are confirmed delivered it will bring us up to eight customers from the survey getting their property back (over half the people who filled out the survey). 

Not including the Flash #1 (which I have no idea the actual value of in this case), the total value of books returned thus far will be approximately $150,000-$180,000usd (note this number is SUPER low. It is based on the amount each customer declared at the time of submission...some many years ago, in fact this calculation includes mid-high grade copies of AF#15 worth only $5000, More Fun Comics #73 valued at $5000, and X-Men #1 for $2000...so yeah, assume it should be MUCH higher at current FMV)

@Sauce Dog What is your cash app or paypal?  Id like to buy you a drink for all this work you have done.  

I greatly appreciate the gesture, but no reciprocation needed :D
I'm just happy that I could use the unique position I was in to help push for, and streamline, the return of books to my fellow boardies.

It's a step in the right direction, but lets not forget these people lost thousands of dollars yet to be recovered. 

If you want to get specific; From just only those who filled out the survey it would be around $41,654usd paid by twelve customers :gossip:
