| I have to constantly remind myself to keep on eye on the shipping price. Not sure if it still occurs today, but ebay charges you based on the selling price of the item which does not include shipping. So in order to minimize fees some sellers post a discounted price but add an exorbitant amount for the shipping. Good for them, but ouch for anyone who isn't tracking the fee.

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

| @DrWatson DC Deathstroke was late 1980, that Spider-Woman issue was mid-81, New Mutants 98 was 10 years later. | ||

| This is my WTF moment for the month!! For $5.25 and $2.00 for shipping, this etsy seller will send you 12 pages from comic books published from 1967 to 1972. These are complete comics that she is cutting up for crafts. My question: can you top this WTF moment?  Etsy store |

Quote:Originally Posted by Reelgee Nope. That would be an aftermarket sale and would not count. Most go by the honor system. However, if you are an auction house with no honor, then you concoct an elaborate tale that tugs on the heartstrings and dub it the Promise Collection. |

xkonk private msg quote post Address this user | |
| Pedigrees, by my understanding, are largely defined/accepted by collectors in general and (maybe more so nowadays) the grading companies. So you would need to convince folks that you have a large, mostly high-condition original owner collection that's worth recognizing. Pedigrees aren't something that I pay a lot of attention to but I believe they all also tend to be old. I'm not sure that a run of Bronze age Avengers would do the trick. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia They have been around since Tudor times. During those times, for most poor people the only place to keep their animals was in the house with the people - and domestic animals would often be put up in the rafters. Roofing at the time was simple thatch that dropped directly into the house so that at times of heavy downpour rain would fall through the thatch, and either flush or encourage the "pets" to return to ground level. I believe that King George @ E. Gerber invented the phrase "it's raining cats and dogs." |

| At what point should an artist/creator/writer refuse the request of customer? I feel Kevin Eastman should be ashamed of himself for doing this to this TMNT #1 1st Print. I knew he was a sellout and signs far too much stuff, but this really grinds my gears. https://www.instagram.com/p/CTH5M_tFMcj/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet  |
