| Yep a joke listing, I read it to my wife and we both laughed, I've told her the price jump on books over the last 12 months and she can't believe it either. She said you are still collecting romance and your may 72 books still and I said yes. They aren't spec books  |

| @ebaymafia - Oh, that's just not right. The 2nd picture was a screen shot of this listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Uncanny-X-Men-141-CGC-9-8-1981-3765455015-1st-app-Rachel-Summers/133692015381?hash=item1f20aa4315:g:Lq4AAOSwK61gTF24 The 3rd picture was a screen shot of a similar listing that was at about $325 but is also now disappeared. |

| Off topic. I just now got the request to change to managed payments through ebay and I have a quick question. On ebay managed payments, does ebay take their slice of the pie immediately now instead of at a later date? |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte Just my opinion, My instinct is that sending money straight to your bank account may not be the best move for Ebay. It's purely psychological, but when I sold something on Ebay and that money went into a Paypal account I felt pretty free to turn around and spend it quickly on other Ebay items. It felt like Mad Money...money that I didn't have to feel any reservations about spending. Now that it goes straight into a bank account I wonder if that will have any significant reduction on peoples desire to turn around and quickly re-spend it? |

Bronte private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @EbayMafia I agree with you. Paypal being separate always felt like a discretionary account that was separate from my "real" money. However I do like that they take their cut immediately. There is nothing worse than spending money that isn't yours and finding out you owe at the end of the month. That was the one thing about ebay that really irked me. I'm hoping this process gives me more things to like as time progresses... |

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

xkonk private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I agree with @EbayMafia as well. When I make a sale I definitely feel more free to go and buy something else and will probably be less likely to do that when the money goes to my "this is where the bills get paid" account. But I haven't been switched over yet, so I guess we'll see when the time comes. | ||

| @flanders yeah...everything has gone nuts!!...saw a Star Wars 42 go for $3k...I figured this was a book that everybody had!!! 1 of the few Star Wars I don't have duplicates of sadly!! 2 or more of 1-8, 11,16,18,20,24,27,39 and 40 if things are going to go crazy I should probably grade and keep the highest and sell the rest!!! |

I'm one of the few collectors who puts less importance on condition for personal collection, so I have the luxury of sometimes downgrading and taking profits from my higher grade books. Not to say I wouldn't like to upgrade some of my personal books, but for me there is not much value in owning anything above an 8.0-9.0 for personal satisfaction. |

| @EbayMafia I'm happy it's selling for that much, a spawn 1 9.8 newsstand is going for about 1k and this is much rarer even in a 9.6. I still think the price is insane, like all current prices but relative to the current market it seems reasonable. Actually I just found out it's unknown how many slabbed Spawn 1 newsstands there are. The census, at least cgcs, doesn't differentiate between the two. They do seem to come up a lot more often than the malibu sun 13 though. |
