This guy! I have one neg from a fraud seller and one neg from a *SQUEE* buyer, the rest is positive how is that bad! lol. and Personally I think thats a good price for that book. Its the rarest regular issue VH1 and its a classic Bloodshot, the demand will always be there but the availibility wont.

It's REALLLLLLLY bad feedback. This is not a reflection of you, it is a reflection of your feedback. The issue is, you can't explain to prospective buyers what the negs really are. You can't tell your side of the story effectively in feedback. It is symptom of the feedback, being broken. People are LAZY, they're not going to bother to ask you why you have a 92% feedback rating....they'll just see that, cringe, and move on...BECAUSE EBAY HAS PROGRAMMED THEM TO.

That's why this "feedback percentage" nonsense shouldn't be on the item description page.

Why not ditch the account and start over? Or, make that account an exclusively buying account?

If it was $10,000, and you could afford it, and were willing to pay it, it doesn't matter what the price guides say. Of course, you're throw everybody into a funky tailspin on the book for a while, but it'd level out again.. :lol:

True And True however I disagree about the feedback part, It's not that hard to see when someone is a fraud or whatever and I would not take a bad experience or 2 and hold it against the person when I really want something, you are right about the lazyness part tho too. what can you do?! You do what you can. I do fine :thumb:

That's good....just from my personal experience, and talking to many, many others over the course of many years, it's that most buyers won't investigate and discover who was really "at fault" in any given neg situation. How can they? It's really just a he said, she said situation.

To YOU (and I know, to me too when I look at MY feedback), it's obvious who's the scammer....but to an outsider looking in, they won't see that, and it's unlikely they'd take the time to find out. :(

Saw that to. I would have bought it when I first saw it but I have a copy allready. I really don't concern myself with condition for the most part. As long as there is not any rips or water damage. Most of my reading set has creases, ink rubbing, or some other type of flaw.

To me a reader copy doesn't mean it's a piece of *SQUEE*. The issue is in VF condition, it has a bend in the upper left corner. My other issue is slabbed, now how can I read that?

Post by h-comics »

I had already talk to him about the comic.He told me that it had some spine wear and two or three tiny creases in it,and plus a small bend on the left corner of the book.I can not figure out how I am paying to much for something that since I have been here I have seen maybe one or twice being sold that rarely comes around.I seen people posting looking for the last four issue or so and to no success.It just like I stated before I just had to jump on it or I figure I would never get another chance of aquiring that comic.
