SELLERS TERMS – Read before buying or bidding!
BEST OFFERS: Please don’t
send ridiculously low offers. Any offer under 50% of my asking price will be
automatically rejected. I can usually do between 10% and 15% off. No one is
forcing you to buy from me. If you don’t like my counter-offer, that’s fine,
don’t get upset about what I’m asking for, just go buy from someone else. The
more you buy the better deal I can give you. And please don’t ask for free
shipping – if I wanted to sell with free shipping, I would offer it.
GRADING: SEE SCANS BEFORE
BIDDING FOR EACH BOOK'S INDIVIDUAL CONDITION AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. I'm
not a professional grader, I’m a serious collector who’s been collecting for
over 30 years. The majority of the books I’m selling are the exact same grade
they were when I bought them and the dealer graded them, and that’s the grade I
go by. Others I grade as accurately as possible, comparing them to my dealer
graded books I’ve received from Mile High, Lonestar and Mid-Town - but you must
look at the high quality scan of the cover (and sometimes back cover if needed)
before bidding. If there’s only 1 scan, the back cover and interior are in
similar condition to the front cover. Most of the higher graded
books have never been read. I'm an accurate grader (see my feedback, but be
sure to look at the scans as grading is inherently subjective) and usually my
books are in better shape than the scans make them look. I rarely ever
give anything I sell a 9.6 or higher because it sets up false
expectations. If the listing is for
a group of comics and I give them an average grade, I will do my best point out
any flaws that fall outside of 1 or 2 grades below that average, that may be
hard to see in the scan. If I give a set of comics a 9.2 average grade, one or
more of them maybe in the 9.0 or 8.5 range without me noting it. If any or
lower than that, most likely I will note it, or it is obvious in the scan.
PACKING/SHIPPING: Allow
4-10 days delivery in Continental USA. Comics are packaged in a poly or Mylar
bag with board, between 2 pieces of sturdy cardboard or a box, in a
weatherproof envelope. SOMETIMES the bag and board may be old, and there may be more than 1 comic in each bag
– possible as many as 5 or 6, packed tightly in 1 bag. This is actually a
better way to pack comics for shipping: less movement = less possibility of
damage. My #1 job is to make sure the comics get to you undamaged.
Most buyers and serious collectors will re-bag and board
anyway.
COMBINED SHIPPING: If you
buy more than 1 listing, I'll use the higher shipping cost of the multiple
listings, and then add 50 cents for every additional comic and send first class
or media mail depending on weight. If you buy multiple listings I may
have to switch from First Class to Media Mail without notifying you, but I’ll make
the shipping reasonable. I’m not in a position where I can do over-night,
expedited or custom shipping. If you need a comic in a hurry, I’m probably not
the seller for you. I make sure the comics I ship are safe, secure and won’t
get damaged.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: I
only use EBAY's Global Shipping Program - I don't control their fees. I know
they are expensive but I have no control over that. If you don’t want to buy
from someone who uses Ebay’s global shipping program, I suggest you buy directly
from the My Comic Shop, Mid-Town, or Mile High websites.
RETURNS: No returns accepted
right now. Look at the scans closely before buying. If your comic is damaged in
the shipping process send me photos and we can work out a return or partial
refund.
COMMUNICATION: I’m very
good at replying to messages via ebay, so if you have any questions either
before purchase or after receiving your order, please get in touch and I know
we can work it out. I will definitely leave you positive feedback, but I do that
about once a month so it might not happen right after you buy from me. If you
are considering leaving me neutral or negative feedback, please send me a
message first and let’s see if we alleviate whatever issues you had with your
order or me as a seller.
