i’ll take this w/ 30% off

i’ll take it w/ 20% off.

reading over the entire exchange, i can see how it’s not entirely clear. i should’ve just uploaded a pic of the entire slab instead of just the label.

yes, it’s the same jim lee 608 cover except the original being produced in 2003 vs 2022, as denoted by the CGC label.

i would consider it a reprint of some sort. the ads are different from the original 2nd printing and produced exclusively by mcfarlane toys.

yes, it is a jim lee cover. this reprint has the new DC logo and not the old DC bullet logo in the corner.

guess the graders haven’t gotten the memo that the mcfarlane batman 608 reprint is different from the real 2nd print. i hate to be the poor guy that just bought this book.

per PM, i’ll take it.

per PM, i’ll take it.

is the middle copy available? if so, i’ll take it.

i’ll take it!

i will take 1 copy.

if this is how ebay wants to run their site, it might benefit them to break-up the site or have different categories for sellers. this one size-fits-all standard for sellers is troublesome. i wouldn’t mind seeing something along the lines of a part-time hobby seller status of sorts. personally, i use the site to buy and sell as a way to fund my hobby interests. i’m not selling new retail product, it’s mostly video-games and collectibles. i’m not looking to run it like a full-blown business and it’s an unreasonable expectation to bear all these extra costs. i get that that it’s ebay’s site, so they get to set the rules. but after 20 years, it sucks to feel that you’re getting squeezed out. in all probability, i’m just probably old and this new age of buyers have different expectations of the ebay buying experience. i’ll get off my soapbox now...

so ebay holds my funds, but also pressures me to ship out right away? i use ebay as a hobby, but they sure know how to suck the fun out of it.

at one point, the goal was x-men GS 1 thru 544, but space became an issue, so it got trimmed back to 300. honestly, if space weren’t an issue, i’d probably collect every wolverine appearance, but since that’s not feasible, my wolverine run got trimmed to wolverine 1-69. i’m tempted to cut to down to the end of the silvestri run at 58, but the tex run was entertaining.
