  1. Great book! I know what you mean. Its a special moment when you find that book, maybe low grade, that still has cover gloss, great cover inks, and maybe, white pages!
  2. The thing that really burns is that I missed out on a few other fairly big books because they were holding my money. These are books that may not surface again in a nice grade for some time. But, ehh, there are other books I want and eventually any bad feelings I have will slide like honey off a badger's butt. Seriously, I do not want them tarred and feathered or pilloried in the town square. I even understand why they could not offer to find a comparable copy. USA Comics #10 is not a particularly rare Timely, 50 or so graded copies right now, but that is still only 50 copies with only 20 or so comparable to 7.0. No one is getting sued as I was made more than whole and would have no standing even if I was of a mind to sue. Finally, I also have not done a massive amount of business with MyComicShop nor am I some massive whale potential client. They have little incentive to do more than they already have. I would be happy if they have changed their procedures so that this cannot happen to someone else.
  3. With a wet noodle? Possibly. Mistakes happen but on a $10k purchase they hurt a little more than others. Ya know? Especially when they sent me an email a week after I sent payment saying they were depositing the check and it would take a month to clear. They sent that email AFTER they had sold the book. That is quite a bit of money to tie up for a month and then just shrug and move on. Hopefully they updated their processes to confirm inventory before cashing a check. If not for every purchase then at least those over, say, $2500.
  4. Price is correct. 12 month average is $84 and this has White pages. Feel free to make an offer in DM.
  5. They gave me $95 in store credit; that's close to what you mean right? Right? (It was a 5 figure purchase.) Its still a sore spot with me and even though they have had a couple of things I would have purchased otherwise, I passed for now.
