Phanos latest comic conquests....and a bit of a problem

Phanos · 12-16-2015, 07:31 AM

So a stock I invested made a marvelous return so I decided to cash it out and buy a few presents for my wife and the baby. Little did I know my wife decided to invest some of the money into some comics I had in my wish list on eBay!

So let me start with the ones I got earlier this year

Now for the ones she got me.

Now for the problem book...Below is the one I was waiting for but look at this one cloesly on the second pic on the corner.

So there is a crack.... And before I could contact the seller to try to work something out, my wife files a damaged goods filing on eBay...... sheesh! I just hate going through this kind of stuff. The last time something like this happened was here on the boards and my wife logged in as me and tried to get a guy kicked off of here due to a deal that went bad. Unfortunately I know my rep got flamed a bit due to it, but hey, when you marry you marry for right or wrong..... You married fellows know what I mean, especially if your wife is headstrong like mine, LOL. But I have learned through this pregnancy not to argue with a pregnant woman, so we will see what happens.... Damn password remember has foiled me again! LoL!

So... In any event. I'll let you guys know what happens. But my wife said that I have been buying investment comics for our soon to be born child so minus well buy some more! I'm not complaining, lol. Do you guys think these are good investments? Also, she said my Christmas gift isn't even here yet!

Gasp!

Nice books indeed. You could always send the Dr Strange to CGC to have re-slabbed, I think it was $15-30 ??

Yes I intend to. But my wife said why have it come out of your pocket. I guess I'm so happy to have it, I don't mind, LoL!

It's $12 to reslab, plus $5 invoice fee, plus shipping both ways, so another $20, and if you value the book high you'll pay more in return insurance as well, so you're looking at $37-$45 bucks to reslab that book.

Good luck with everything I had this happen once to an item I sent. Just remember it may not be the sellers fault, in my case the post office crushed the package. I offered the buyer a partial refund of $17 (to cover reslab and invoice fee) or a full refund. They gladly took the partial refund.

Dude --- if you would had known --- the wishlist would have been much different!
