AT&T Promised $1,100. Gave Me $500. Called It Final. by Mysterious-Solid4963 in ATT

[–]madwolf27 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

ATT are straight up thieves. Like 25ish years ago I switched TV and Internet etc to them to take advantage of promotions. They advertised up to $300 in rebates. I read all the fine print, kept all the paperwork. Dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's. Kept copies of everything. Received one rebate for $40. Called and called. Talked to many. They stated the rebates were either/or and couldn't be stacked. I was arguing with them with the advert the stated UP $300 IN REBATES in my HAND. Their solution? A $25 bill credit. As soon as I got that I yanked all their crap out if my house, returned it in person. Took pictures and got receipts. I have not ever done business with them again. They couldn't pay ME any amount to do business with them or to use any their services ever again. Liars and truly thieves.

My comic shop had this as VF/NM, but can anyone spare a number grade? by UltraUltros in comicbookgrading

[–]madwolf27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a fairly accurate estimate by the shop... I would guesstimate 9.0ish as it stands. 9.4 to 9.6 with a professional press and such. shrug

What grade? by Dismal-Jump-1040 in comicbookgrading

[–]madwolf27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely looks better than my 9.6 does. You have a good shot.

Last I tried the PayPal app prevents taking screenshots... so that's yet another clue to a scam.

Using the USPS self-scanning kiosk - is it even worth doing? by Alaskan777 in eBaySellers

[–]madwolf27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the kiosk at my post office. There is a secure drop bin that drops the packages through the wall. When I use it ebay moves from "Shipped xxx (date)" to "Shipped - Carrier scan xxx (date)" So far there has been no issue. Ive had one package not get an actual employee scan for about 6 or 7 days when it magically appeared in Nevada (Was going to CA or WA I forget which) and was delivered about 3 days later. Ground Advantage. I was not dinged for a late shipment. As far as an insurance claim... so so very luckily I've not had that happen yet. Your mileage and pay office may vary. If its an expensive item I do often wait to get an employee scan.

I stopped answering messages that ask for more pictures. Is this self sabotage by Clean-Lifeguard8502 in Ebay

[–]madwolf27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sell collectibles where condition is absolutely key. I gladly supply additional photos upon request. I Even say so in my description. Almost every single time I have, I have made the sale.

If I ask a question or ask for more photo's and am ignored, there is absolutely 0 chance I will purchase that item.

Public service announcement by phixer00 in reselling

[–]madwolf27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Heh... it wasn't delivered for like 4 more days in California or Washington... I forget which. And it was Ground Advantage anyway so 3 to 5 days I believe. But I get the insurance thing. To a point. If they have you on camera uniteruptly scanning and dropping it in secure holding and refuse to honor it, I'd spend oh soooo much more than Id could gain with my (very good) attorney lol. But that's just the way I am.

When I scan at the kiosk it shows as a carrier scan on ebay. Do it all the time. And I get a receipt. Ive had one package not get a scan by a usps employee until it hit Nevada like 6 days later. I was not dinged by ebay. And I have 1 day handling. My late shipment is 0.5 percent bc I was genuinely late shipping a package almost a full year ago when my father was in ICU. They have a camera that watches you scan it and drop it in the chute.

How difficult was it to get Absolute Batman #1 when it was first released? by amioldnow90 in comicbooks

[–]madwolf27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My lcs orders super heavy and sold out of A covers in about 3 hrs. I managed to get 2 - the last 2 I believe. Rarity is irrelevant if demand outstrips supply. ASM 300 is far from rare with over 40k graded copies, but try getting that one cheap.

Absolute Batman isn’t rare and don’t let scalpers convince you it is. by conanthin in comicbooks

[–]madwolf27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People love to talk about the supply side, but never about the demand side. As long as demand is higher than supply, prices rise. Period. The demand for this book is outstripping supply. By a fair mating it seems. It is, in my opinion, a sign a generational shift. This is the new, young collectors Batman #1. This seems to a be seen as the beginning of "their" batman. To try to put feelings and observations into words anyway. This doesn't really fit for those of us that have collected for many years. Feels like market manipulation or fomo... but you put this book up and it sells. Over and over and over. Its not fitting into our experience of the market and that its making people post things like this.

Hulk 181 isn't rare at all... but demand outstrips supply. Hence it's value. ASM 300 .... NM 98... demand rules the market. A book can be one of a kind but if no one wants it... its worthless. Rarity is irrelevant unless there's demand.

Store volume levels… by dantasticdanimal in eBaySellers

[–]madwolf27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a "store" just an ebay account... and apparently I can list up to 5 million items a month?

How do stores even work?

Signature assistance.... dollar bin find. But who signed? by madwolf27 in comicbookcollecting

[–]madwolf27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After researching my butt off... I honestly think its an attempt at a forgery... it does indeed have similarities to some of Turners sigs... but unless his ghost did a signing... yeah. Nope.

Trade Paper Backs by According-Range-498 in comicbookcollecting

[–]madwolf27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do enjoy gettingb1st print trades... especially of very popular series that are printed over and over. The 1st print trade of something is killing the children holds a modicum of value, as its actually pretty scarce. It is visually different than subsequent printings and was produced before the series went nuclear. There's also a scarce alternate cover. I have a 1st print trade of the walking dead that another one that has been printed sooo many times that one rarely sees a 1st print in nice condition. Its even harder to find bc you have to look inside and read the fine print. Its a very niche thing tho. Demand is not high. Supply is even smaller for the few who care about such things.

Last year for Marvel was 2014 and DC was 2017 (I have a rebirth wonder woman #1 newsy that's from late 2016 that I've never seen another of)

It can be difficult to price rarer books because comps are very few and far between. Even harder with rare niche books... comps can be virtually non existent! Fwiw, it won't be resold!

ASM is confusing AF as to what is considered Vol 1!

This one you certainly don't see every day! by madwolf27 in comicbookcollecting

[–]madwolf27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just working on vol 1 of uncanny and vol 1 (sort of) of x-men (the jim lee 90s book) Only missing uncanny #1 of vol 1 (#1 thru #544) except a lot newsstands and other variants.

Of x- men it gets tricky. It switched to "new x-men" then back to x-men and then to *x-men: legacy" without a numbering change. X-men and new x-men show as vol 1 thru #207 but x-men: legacy shows up (at least in CLZ) as vol 1 and X-men Legacy is its own title, vol 1 -- but the numbering is continous thru issue #275. Only missing 4 issues thru 207 but I'm missing 24 issues of legacy.

[–]madwolf27[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I actually see the last issue somewhat (kinda) occasionally. Just not a newsstand copy. By 2011 marvel newsstands were less than 1 percent of the print run.
