[CLOSED] Mad imitators from the 1950s 0

[EC ed]

Hello all,

Offering up some raw Mad imitator undercopies (well, except for the Humbug...which I've decided to no longer collect). It's not easy to find these in decent shape...you won't have much luck with that in this thread, either 

Here's a link to my KUDOS THREAD

The 

• No PL/HOS members;
• The first "take it" posted in the thread wins (whether a straight thread take it, or a "take it via PM" if we reached a deal via PM). If you want to remain anonymous by purchasing via PM, this means there will be some risk of losing a book if someone posts a "take it" in the thread before I can mark the book SOLD based on your PM. Having said that, I'll mark books SOLD as soon as reasonably possible.
• If I put a book ON HOLD, that book is not available for purchase until it comes back off HOLD

Payment

• I'll take PayPal, personal checks, or USPS money orders;
• I'll expect payment within 10 calendar days, or the book will be available for sale again (unless we've made other payment arrangements)
• I'll gladly consider longer-term time payments, but PM me to discuss terms before taking a book if you need that.

Shipping Terms

• USA:
  - Shipping via priority mail: I'll charge you what USPS will charge me (typically between $8 and $13, depending on how many books you buy and how far away from Salt Lake City you are  );
• Canada, UK or Australia
  - Again, I'll charge you what USPS will charge me (we'll figure which is cheaper - first class or priority mail international - that'll depend on package value and destination)
• Other International Destinations:
  - case by case basis...I'll need to see if I'm comfortable with available shipping options

Returns/Refunds

• I will accept returns for a refund for any reason 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. For raw book returns, you cover shipping cost back to me unless I messed up. 

Thanks for looking!

Crazy #1, GD+ 2.5, $70

comprehensive wear; few bits of moisture staining here and there; cover is basically detached at lower staple; 2” upper spine split; 1” lower spine split; despite all that, the book presents really well

[EC ed]

Eh! #4, VG+ 4.5 RESTORED (I think), $100 SOLD

general wear; some damage/chips along the spine; looks to me like someone may have put some sort of sealer along the spine from the inside - there's a bit of gloss along the interior spine, which (of course) isn't normal - so, I'm calling this one restored to be on the safe side
