You have to upgrade quite a bit to do so.

This is the route I was thinking.

Not sure of the legality, but SportSurge is always an option.

AT&T (lack of) customer support. I had to get a damn baseball bat and bludgeon the "AI" insulation layer they put in front of real people.

I think they are regretting that my winning bid was lower that what they wanted...

Replied that I was happy to take the risk (looks like a real one to me - proper patina etc. for a 50yr old pen).....gonna bet that they cancel the order anyway....

oh well.....keep my eye open for a bargain again I guess....


I recently, for the first time, had an order cancelled saying the book was damaged. I won it for twenty some-odd dollars. It was a great deal, but know I can't enjoy it.

EBay sellers who want immediate payment, but then take DAYS to ship... especially if you hold yourself out to be in the comic book and collectibles business.😑

What's the point of a tracking number if the tracking information is never updated? Yes, USPS, I'm talking to you.

He must've wrote Mark B. first and decided that wasn't enough in case the book was stolen. I'm surprised the landline # isn't on there too.

today its FedEx....
Received an email saying to expect delivery between 10 and 2 requiring signature (from CBCS)...so I left the office to work from home...
11...12..1...2..no FedEx..then tracking updates to say by end of day...days end....no FedEx
Tracking still says on vehicle for delivery....very frustrating....

Will now stay home tomorrow too even though it's supposed to be an office day...

@KatKomics I had the same problem with FedEx with my CBCS order.

It was supposed to arrive and didn't. I spent the entire day waiting because a direct signature was required.

I couldn't wait on it the next day, so I rerouted it to the local Dollar General store.

As I was coming home from work, I saw FedEx in the Dollar store parking lot. I turned in, pulled up to the truck, and said, "Are you Buddy? I believe you have my package." He did. I signed, got my box, and left.

I did get a look in the back of his van. Total chaos.

They have made a new offer, higher than prior but less than the prior BIN price - tempted to reject again...but I'll fall for the trap and accept....and wait for non-payment after 4 days

If they did it again, I'd contact MCS about banning their account. That's ridiculous.

Quill Corporation! Never again will I deal with these morons when ordering business supplies. Very close to being the most rude and incompetent group of people I have dealt with in quite some time.

When you’ve loaded a moving trailer with household goods for your 8th or 9th round trip drive from a place you hate living in to a place you really want to be, then your trip is hampered by a winter storm for a couple days. During those couple days you get a sinus infection that delays your trip even more AND YOU REALLY JUST WANT TO GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!

This is grinding my gears. πŸ‘πŸ‘
