crassus Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) A little Carousel of Comics Hi everyone, this sale will be mostly Marvels, with some select romance books and odds and ends. I will consider reasonable offers on all items BUT an unconditional "I'll take it" in the thread or by PM trumps. Competing claims will be decided as far as possible by time stamp. In the event there are "take its" in both a PM and in the sales thread, and where it cannot be determined by time stamp which "take it" came first, the "take it" posted publicly in the sales thread will win. Therefore, there is some risk of losing a book if you try to remain anonymous via PM. You can count on me in any event to do my best to ensure fairness to everyone. (My especial thanks to EC Ed for his kind assistance in formulating and clarifying this rule) I will not sell to the probate or the banned. Payment is preferred with PayPal but if you need another method, I'm open to discuss, just PM me first to make arrangements before taking a book. I will ship comics (raw or slabbed) to the US and Canada for a flat rate of $10.00 for any number of books shipped in a secure box. I will ship international but please PM me for a quote. I will work with you to keep your shipping costs down. This is my 114th sales thread on the Boards. Kudos Thread If anyone has any further concerns please PM me and I am very happy to provide Board “References upon Request”. If for any reason a buyer is unhappy with their purchase I will give a full refund upon notification within 30 days of receiving the item(s) and upon the safe return of the item(s). Many thanks for looking, and I hope you find something in my carousel of comics. Cheers, Robert Edited April 6 by crassus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
