Yep - eBay almost always decides in the buyer's favour, and unless it's a graded book (and even then sometimes!) it is difficult to fight a "significantly not as described" claim. In this case, a lot of sellers were describing the SW HT #1 as "recalled," and since that never actually happened, there is no way to fight it. Even if one didn't, like I said - it is very difficult to fight a SNAD claim.depluto wrote:Wow, I didn't think about that.

Weird, as I am sure some people sold this book for $10-20 and didn't ask the buyer for more money afterward...
I have said it before, I am sure I'll say it again - I *SQUEE* hate eBay.

I sold 6 of these to 5 people one has already given me positive feedback so I can't see eBay allowing a refund to that transaction the others...slym2none wrote:Yep - eBay almost always decides in the buyer's favour, and unless it's a graded book (and even then sometimes!) it is difficult to fight a "significantly not as described" claim.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Comics Of Any Era
Agreed, it's a frustrating policy for sellers. Buyer beware, right? I've had non-payers bust a hot auction only for that item to get only one bid on relist. It's tough, as the buyer creates the buzz and price, and he/she can back out.
Maybe I'll get one of these if they are cool. It's kind of a cool book to have, especially at sub $10.

I just sold 34 copies of the two Ultimate Fallout 4 2nd print covers at 1.39 each. Let's just say I bought them right, back when people were ridiculing Miles Morales. (see ridicule of the character in this very thread that occurred in 2011, by way of example). The buyer of these copies made a wise investment, and I'm happy with the sale, but not letting any more copies of this book go nearly that cheap. I'll defend my remaining copies of this book with a substantial price hike.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Comics Of Any Era
I just sold 5 copies of Amazing Spider-man 4, the first Silk, for $18 each. That's some real upward movement in price. I'll probably go to 24.99 on that book now.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Comics Of Any Era
I decided to raise my price on that book to 29.99.

The Silk book has some legs. You can still find some for cover.
But there is for sure interest.
Also some sniffing at the Wolverines #3 (and #2) book.

First appearance of some new character that might catch on big with this new "girl-power" movement.

All I know for certain is it is a younger female character, and she has an animal sidekick.

Yeppers!
"cameo" (last page, full page) of her and her animal = Wolverines #2
"1st full" = Wolverines #3

For the record I don't currently have any.

Re: Discuss Hard To Find Or Currently Hot Comics Of Any Era
I have been on this book since the beginning but be on the lookout for Booms! Bee and Puppycat #1 & 2
Both are sold out first printings and HTF
I sell #1 both covers for $25.00 each and #2 is right at $20.00 already
I went heavy on both but some shops might still have a few on the shelf

For some reason I noticed that copies of Rust 1 were going for crazy money ...

First Spawn? I got one of these out of a quarter bin not too long ago just because the cover looked cool. Check out recent sales, this was going for chump change last week.
