eBay Headaches

I like the comics pro bags, BCW bags went downhill for me so I switched. I’d have a pack of BCW bags and could feel thickness differences between bags, clarity issues and little black particles embedded in the bags I haven’t had any issue with comics pro other than this. I asked him for additional info and he said the gemini looked fine but the blue painters tape inside that was holding the book down was ripped and allowed the comic to come loose. More tape it is!

I always sandwich comics between cardboard, then mail them in a Matt’s mailer, which are significantly thicker than a Gemini. It weighs more because of that, so it’s harder to meet certain shipping cost thresholds, but to me, it’s worth it.

Gemini mailers are thin. I always added more cardboard myself. To date (despite not really selling a lot in the past 2 years), I’ve never had a comic arrive damaged. The one time I did, the buyer confused me with another buyer, bought same comic from someone else and that was quickly discovered when he sent pics of the comic and the package… knew immediately it wasn’t my packing.

The only other hiccup I had was I was shipping out like 50-60 books around Xmas time for a bunch of sales. Accidentally shipped the wrong book to a buyer (somehow I printed his label twice so it went on the other order). He was so cool, asked him to drop in mail to ship to the actual buyer. I gave him a full refund for his actual book which was like $30 just for throwing the label I emailed him to mail it. The other buyer was cool too with the delay, told him the mistake I made and it’s delayed but I went ahead and gave him a full refund too, just for good measure. Honesty truly is the best policy and everyone is happy when you fix your mistakes and own up to them.

got this question today on a spider-man 1 silver ( not priced like it is )

Hello what color is the lizard in the comic?

There’s an error edition where the Lizard is blue inside the comic. It goes for a lot more. I assume most here know this but just in case if anyone don’t.

He’s supposed to be green but some rarer printings are blue and even yellow/gold, correct?

Uh oh. bhxwb20 is dropping low offers again… I did sell him a book two weeks ago. And, I will give him a deal if he wants all three of these. Just not at the prices he’s asking for.
