I'm super late to this party and there are quite a few pages so I might have missed it, but did we ever find out if hobbiesrus was on this forum?

I keep throwing around the thought of putting together a sales thread and then I look at the current sales threads and they all look to be Closed down or nothing is selling.  Other then Golden Age books - is anything selling?

No.

Very low moment…
Personally I have been looking just for sporadical GA books as I "wrapped up" my Marvel purchases (with small exceptions).

I may put something together at the end of the year after seeing how sales go at the Con next month.  Just does not seem to be enough buyers in the sales threads to muster the energy or take stuff off of E-Bay which is a first.

That negative experience on eBay has deprived me of the enthusiasm to try and list stuff…

Don't blame you.  I can't imagine selling books when 90% of your buyers would be International shipping.  So many headaches just to move a short box of books.

Yeah… I’ll probably ask you some advice.
P.S. No, not 90%, I’d say most of my purchases were within Europe or even from Russia and unexpected places, so it’s cool.
But when a cheap book does not arrive in USA…

This place is looking more and more like eBay

Grade properly, price fairly, with good scans... it will sell!  

I refuse to pay over fair market value for poorly graded books.  Not to mention, a lot of sellers are refusing to ship outside the US...

I don't disagree but how so?  The sales threads have been stop over points for awhile now but I'm wondering if you mean in other ways.

Copper. I have experienced the most action with higher grade fairly priced copper such as Carnage keys, X-Force keys, Spawn etc. I've also observed the GA action but haven't offered Anything of the sort that's selling.

Wow. That term is just stupid. If PayPal is the only form of payment than he

should have just incorporated the 4% into his asking price.
