The Books

  • Just a couple at most 

General Rules

  •   No PL/HOS members

  •  The new board software does not display precise thread post times (either in PMs or in sales threads), which can result in the inability to determine whether a PM post or thread post came first. One thing remains certain - it is easy to tell whether one post in a thread came before another post in the same thread. So, the first "take it" posted in the sales thread wins. If we reach a deal via PM, I'll mark books SOLD in the thread as soon as reasonably possible - but if someone else takes the book in the thread before your PM take is acknowledged in the thread (by either you or I), the thread poster is the winner, I'm afraid; so, there is some risk of losing a book if you try to remain anonymous via PM. (Credit to EC Ed for these rules. I have adapted them with his permission)

  • I kindly ask that you not Quote a book and then make a comment. It makes the book appear to be sold. 

Payment

  • I'll take PayPal for total sales under $1000 if PayPal is your preferred method. Personal checks, or USPS money orders for total sales $1000 or higher.

  • When the thread is over an invoice will be sent with PayPal address. 

  •   I'll expect payment within 10 calendar days of invoice, or the book will beavailable for sale again (unless we've made other payment arrangements)

  • Time payments are available for purchases of $2500 or more with 20% non-refundable deposit and installment payments so purchase is paid in full no later than 2/18/19. If monthly installments are more than 10 days late or payment is defaulted the 20% deposit will be retained by the seller but the rest of monies will be returned to the buyer and the sale will be nullified. Please PM to discuss time payment before taking the book in the thread. I reserve the right to not take time payments.

Shipping Terms

  • USA: $7 for raw and $15 for graded in any quantity

  • Canada: $15 for raw and $25 for graded in any quantity. Overseas- Shipping at cost. I only ship overseas to established board members with references.

  • I now only ship one time a week so please be patient as it could take up to 10 days to ship your purchase. I will not be shipping until early January.

Returns/Refunds

  • General Policy: I will accept returns on raw books within two weeks of your receipt of the books, as long as the books are returned to me as they were when you received them. If there is undisclosed restoration on raw books I will take them back up to 6 months after the purchase. On raw book returns, you cover shipping cost back to me unless I missed restoration or a major defect. There are no returns on graded books.

Space Western 45- CGC 3.5 Qualified- SOLD VIA PM TO GREGD

MISSING CENTERFOLD

Paid $345 on eBay plus pressed since these pics, plus CGC grading (book is on the way back). Purchased recently from victorytoys-comics but they won’t respond to my messages letting them know about this.  Here is your chance to get this book for half what I have in it.

Thanks for the heads-up about that eBay seller, Rick. Just took items from them off my watchlist. Sorry to hear you weren't dealt with in a straight fashion; warning appreciated!

Anybody can miss something. Just reply to my message, at Least. Poor form. (shrug)

Agreed; it's not the missing centerfold report that troubled me; it's the lack of effort to make it right.

Enough already!  The ebay description clearly states that this book has "7 wraps or 28 total pages."  Any fair-minded collector of Atomic Age material would read that as a warning that the book is missing one wrap and is therefore incomplete.  I think it's grossly unjust to trash the seller in this thread.  And, lest you wonder, I've never done biz with victorytoys, nor do I know who he/she is.

First, “7 wraps and 28 total pages” but “looks all there” often means they don’t know the cover counts as a wrap. 

Second, I take responsibility that I didn’t thoroughly examine this book before sending off for press and grade. 

Third, when I got the results, which admittedly takes around 60 days, I reached out to them 3 times over 10 days or so to see if there was anything that could be done about it with no response. 

I am only asking for someone to do for me what I have done for others. That’s all. I think it’s bad business. Heck, I will Take Raw books back if they are off by more than half a point. I’m not expecting that but at least some communication back would be nice. 

Do I care about $350 spent on an incomplete comic? Not all that much. I do think sharing this with the forum community is serving them well. Buyer beware on eBay in general.

^^ falling in love. Oh, by the way, IT’s FREE to Bunky. Why? Because I sold him a raw book that came back with brittle pages.  doh!He is so much classier than I am because he wouldn’t have even said anything to me but I can’t stand it and feel he is owed some retribution.

Rick, just and aside but I think Ebay would have have covered you on the Space Western even with the seller responding especially given the the unclear description if you had opened a case.  But regardless, someone here got a cool book of a tough series.  

And someone should jump on the Chesler.  Tough books.
