crassus Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) A little Carousel of Comics A little Carousel of Comics Hi everyone! I will use the second post to follow to group together what slabs I have and the third post to follow for any raw comics. I will announce any updates going forward. The rest of the thread will unfold in the usual fashion with miscellaneous items as I find them, some old, some new, books, portfolios, prints and maybe fanzines. I will consider reasonable offers on all items BUT an unconditional "I'll take it" in the thread or by PM trumps. Competing claims will be decided by time stamp. I will not sell to the probate or the banned. Payment is by Paypal or MO only. Shipping to the US and Canada is a flat rate of $10.00 for any number of items. Comics (raw or slabbed), magazines, and books are shipped in a secure box. Prints and portfolios are shipped differently and customarily in stiff flat format packaging. If you have a mixed order of items (eg prints plus comics etc) everything will ship together if possible but if I have to ship separately for the security of the item(s) it will be at no extra charge. This is my 62nd sales thread on the Boards. Kudos Thread If anyone has any further concerns please PM me and I am very happy to provide Board “References upon Request”. If for any reason a buyer is unhappy with their purchase I will give a full refund upon notification within 30 days of receiving the item(s) and upon the safe return of the item(s). Many thanks for looking, and I hope you find something in my carousel of comics. Cheers, Robert Edited August 2, 2017 by crassus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crassus Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Ok we are back open for business in this thread. The 3 Tip Tops sold during VCC, but otherwise I have moved books over into the 3rd post above devoted to Raw Books of all Ages. I may add more after the 29th when I have returned to Montreal. While this thread will in principle run long it may be the case that the slabs and the more expensive raw books will be removed for the Montreal Comiccon beginning July 7. I will post promptly any updates on the status of books. Many thanks for taking a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crassus Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 An FF 13 has been added above to the 3rd post devoted to Raw books I updated the scans for the other items so that we are now completely photobucket free....I will add some scans back as I go, but we are done with photobucket. More to come this weekend... Happy Canada Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
