The price is good if it's delivered as described. You're taking a real gamble here. Hopefully he's a good grader and packages well. That pic he provided is too small to verify the condition of the book.

I need a Magnus #0. Wish I'd seen that.

I think that is a good price.

Of course if it is all jacked up, not as much.

But that book easily can go for 3X as much.... (I think).

Hope it has the card.

Of course Im hoping for a MINT copy.. but even if its all messed up I might use it if I decide to get all my Magnus run BOUND

I already have one with the card in it.. so if this one DOESNT have the card then it will work for my binding project.

With my VH1 only missing 2-3 books, I am already obsessing on getting my runs bound... ug, hive mentality I guess

Nice score, even if it's VF-ish...

I'll buy as many as I can find for that price!

With a promise of ridiculously secure packaging even if its VF its a good price.
This would go for £20+ in the UK in NM.
Hope you get a good one.

It's a great price considering someone was selling a Magnus 0 for $25 on this board. You saved at least $10.

I MIGHT be able to brag more IF it arrives and IF it is in decent condition;)

Let us know when it arrives.

If so, nice snag, bro!

IanAlexavier · Post by **IanAlexavier** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 9:55:47 pm

Well,.. it didnt have a card and it wasnt NM at all.

This si the condition:

1 tiny spine crease at the top of the book in the front, (not a biggie)
MANY tiny spine creases on the back of the book.
1 tiny tear at the corner at the top of the spine, kind of like a hang nail.. a tiny piece barely hanging on.
The worse part is this: It looks like the books was smashed between other books for a while. There was discoloration along the spine. This is very evident.

So I emailed the sell and a girl responded and said that she listed it for her BF who asked her to list it NM. She apologized and said she would make it up to me. So I suggested she refund my money and then I would send her $7 for the book instead of $10. I think that is fair.. what do you guys think?

Daniel Jackson · Post by **Daniel Jackson** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 11:10:02 pm

Is she going eat to the shipping then if you're only going to give her 7 bucks?

i think this shows us that unless the picture is clear and the seller has a decent high number of feedback that you cant rely on someones opinion.

I have had way too many situations like this in the last five years.
Some on ebay and some with folks just lying about their large collection of comics.

My favourite is " oh i have alot of really old comics to sell in mint condition"
so you show some interest and they bring down a bag of stuff crammed full of early nineties image and marvels drawn by people whose mothers don't even know who they are.

The ebay one can produce alarming results from time to time too.
My favourite was my lovely Superman Vs Ali whitman variant i got it through only to find a battered copy of the standard edition. The guy apologized saying he was selling it for a friend and that he stole a pic off ebay which just happened to be the whitman variant. DOH !!!

Another was Uncanny X-men 109 in excellent condition but it turned up looking like it had been run over.

The seller should refund the lot and pay postage for deliberately misleading you. Then they should be marched down their local main street half naked covered in baked beans shouting i love rob liefeld.

too bad...ah well

IanAlexavier · Post by **IanAlexavier** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 6:56:09 am

Well, Im not too bummed about it. When I get my Magnus collection bound I will be able to use this one

Ill be more careful next time around though and be a bit more aggressive on my refund.

She did offer to take it back including covering the shipping.

Can you post a pic of this variant.

IanAlexavier · Post by **IanAlexavier** » Thu Dec 13, 2007 9:12:02 am

Well, now she wants to send me back $8 of the $15 that the book cost me. I think that if I were to walk into a store and see this book for $7 I might pick it up

Ill email here as as soon as I can to see what will happen.

No one should ever be forced to say they love liefeld. That's just sick man.

I think for that price, I would probably pick it up too.
