Got a nice surprise via e-mail.

 

Pre-ordered this on 2/23 through Unknown Comics @ $125, and in the ensuing weeks as the price adjustments were announced I fully expected to get an e-mail from them either stating I owed another $125 or that they were not going to be allocated what they had sold and that my order was being canceled.  I fully expected, one way or another, that I was NOT getting that box at the pre-order price.  A feeling that was only reinforced as my order status has sat in the "unfilled" stage ever since.

 

Until today....Got an e-mail stating the box has shipped!

 

If this indeed does come through, I have nothing but kudos for Unknown Comic Books.  They, like a lot of online retailers, posted these for pre-sale immediately.  And they were fully within their rights to come back to me and ask for the difference once the $250 price correction was announced.  But they never did and instead honored the original purchase price.

 

Now the big question for me...do I break it open hoping for a Grail or do I sell.  Hard to beat a flip at nearly $400, unless, of course, a Negan is in there.

 

Did your order actually show up? I ordered one from them as well and have been getting the run around for several weeks. At first they claimed to have it but wouldn't ship it because the owner was out of town. Then they said they hadn't shipped any of the orders because they were missing one of the boxes.

Anyone else get any cancellation notices since the first set of reports?

Larry does the pump and dump (proudly?).

 

No.

i'm a comic book retailer.

 

promoting what you sell?

liking what you sell?

 

How is that weird to you?

Sorry to pull you in like that. I was just going by what you said on the previous page. Probably misunderstood what you meant.

( Of course I'm pumping the second.

I missed the first...)

I think he means people that feel a need to correct people, when its pretty obvious what they were trying to say.... people who get off acting superior at the expense of others,and the same people that make it so that new people are hesitant to post.

I'll bite again because this is so hypocritical. I'm a new poster. So I should just go back to my lurking hole and let the old guard make fun of random ebay sellers, all while grossly misusing a phrase that accuses someone of fraud? I probably should never even have posted. Thanks for being superior and putting me in my place.

I don't care if you call me out for making a jerky post, but don't implicitly grant permission to people for being jerky to people who can't even defend themselves.

Larry does the pump and dump (proudly?). Random ebay guy does what a lot of us do: flip as a way to freeroll speculative new books. This thread is a good way for us to share those hits, not make us feel like jerks for selling on ebay.

the definition of a pump and dump person.

This guy takes a pic as soon as he gets in his car and puts it on ebay.

 

 

Pump and Dump

Wrong definition. Unless I missed the blog post or article that guy wrote about how everyone should by the book on it's way up.

Their Twitter or FB page said these pre-sales will happen 2-3 weeks before the "on-sale" date listed
