    Yeah, the kicker is when the 7 days became 14. Definitely curse-worthy there.

    Oh, man, I hear you. That sucks.

    Just this past week a buyer who won an auction on Sunday asked if he could pay on Thursday, since that was when he got paid. I told him sure, no problem at all. ...
  3. I don't have any specific "buyers to avoid," but...

    I don't have any specific "buyers to avoid," but I'd like to generally vent a bit about some recent eBayers. I've been listing the remains of my Arkham House and S. King collections on eBay in the...
  4. Please do let us know how it works out, Ralph. ...

    Please do let us know how it works out, Ralph. Nothing satisfies me more than seeing people like that get their just desserts. He needs to learn a lesson that you don't threaten people because they...
  5. Some people just like the feeling of being "in...

    Some people just like the feeling of being "in the game" and want to walk in the rarefied air that others more rightfully inhabit. They build up an artificial construct (in this case, "I've got the...

    So you don't erase them?[/QUOTE]

    No. They don't bother me. In all fairness, most of my recent collecting of S/L'ds don't have these markings. I just checked one shelf's worth of King trade...

    I'm the same way. So many of the books I perused and bought from actual antiquarian bookstores had those pencil prices on the fist blank page. SOP. Doesn't bother me at all.
  8. Any reason ever given on why the book wasn't...

    Any reason ever given on why the book wasn't mailed? Why go through the whole eBay rigamarole to not even ship the book? Honestly, sometimes I don't understand people.
  9. I've never read a Joe Hill novel and don't...

    I've never read a Joe Hill novel and don't collect him. I'm not sure what this edition is (sig, limitation, etc.) or what a bone mallet has to do with it.

    Having said that, I'll offer you $110 if...
  10. Ha ha. I also know exactly who you are talking...

    Ha ha. I also know exactly who you are talking about!

    I really don't get it. If you want to buy the book, just buy the book! What, $30 is going to make or break you? People like that just irk...
  11. I also agree with this. It's one thing for a...

    I also agree with this. It's one thing for a buyer to request more photos or description, or say, "hmmm, I have to think about it for a while," etc. But once someone says "I'll PayPal you on...
  12. How can you expect to buy books if you don't have...

    How can you expect to buy books if you don't have money? Or a job? Or an active bank account? That makes no sense.
  13. What is he talking about libel and slander? You...

    What is he talking about libel and slander? You can't "libel" or "slander" if you are factually correct. And those are obvious forgeries. Not saying the seller did the forging. Maybe he...
  14. Yes, it's only fair for the rest of the folks...

    Yes, it's only fair for the rest of the folks here to be forewarned about an unscrupulous seller. I'd say selling the same books more than once, collecting the money each time is certainly...
  15. Yeah, I've got some great deals from Filip1. ...

    Yeah, I've got some great deals from Filip1. I've made offers on 3 books at a time for prices I figured no way he would accept, and yet he did.

    Sorry to hear a couple of others have had a bad go...

    My 2 cents and random thoughts:

    The above eBay seller's description of "new" vs. "as new" is complete bullshit.

    I think as a buyer, if you are not satisfied with what you received for the price...
