He knew precisely the market value of the books and did all of the homework. Don't lose sleep, 750 was above market / probably right on the money. He didn't cancel the sale because he was mad about the broken book - he's the one who bagged and boarded it... he already knew about the damage. He cancelled the sale because he's holding out for more money. Non-comic people see $.10/$.12 covers and their eyes go green and they think they've found a Picasso.
You might be right on the money with this comment!
is this the same guy that wanted $585 for the Avengers #8 1st Kang like a year ago? You did absolutely nothing wrong my friend, that's not on you.
No comment.
@@CGL_Collectibles guys going on covid numbers , the comic market has come back down to earth. That 1st Wonder Man looked kinda sweet though
I really wanted this box. It’s not often stuff like this shows up at the flea market
@CGL_Collectibles I know definitely had some big books what you offered was more than fair.
Always, always, always tell the dealer to take the book out of the bag on high priced books. If its over $100. He is taking it out of the bag. Ive seen books hit the floor in the past. Ive seen idiots in my past comic stores open a book and not pull down and fold over the tape and get the tape stuck on the cover, only to rip the surface off the cover in the area the tape stuck too. This happened on a 1st appearance of Green Goblin
I prefer the seller to open the bag.
That's a crap situation all around. Sometimes you just can't tell how brittle those covers and pages are until it is too late. Better luck next time! Glad to see you releasing content again after that break!
Exactly! I didn’t realize how bad they were until I pulled it out.
Huge red flag, if he told you can't take comics out of bag. I would've walked away from that immediately.
Not an AF15. If you read the red box on the splash page it says “exactly as it appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15”. Lesson learned though, let the seller opened the bag up, beware of low grade, brittle comics… as they do flake off so quickly. Admittedly though for the Iron Man #1 it already had that huge chunk of the cover corner just placed in the bag just sitting
there. Another word of warning. Don’t open up comics when there is a drink standing next to them. It’s a stupid move.
Thank you for the wisdom!
You learned to have the seller pull it out and he learned that not everyone who buys comics is a sucker he knows he was doing shady shit and karma will correct him one day
100% He knew that comic was already ruined. That seller needs to be blacklisted from selling comics. Nobody should have to get racked by him.
I hear you!
No,that was for you 300.00 dollars and maybe,you get a total of another 300 profit.
This isn't 2021,your time is money and those were in bad shape for the most part.
I'm happy for you that you didn't do the deal,guys a scammer.
He's at the Meadowlands Flea Market 😁
You are a sympathetic guy so it makes sense for you to feel bad. But you are smart and you know what’s up. I’m glad to see the situation end in a civil way.
Thank you!
NAHHH MAN that huge corner looked 99% detached holding on by a thread and the air took it. Also he could get it resto'd blue label with that ez
I agree completely!
In watching I think you said it best , let the comic owner pull out his own book and check it. If its a very pricey issue (when I buy now at times) I let the owner do it basically.
Good advice
Yes!
Oh I recognized this seller it's the guy that's always on top shelf kicks videos , yeah this seller is a pain to deal with and very scammy , there's been incidents where his giving Aaron higher prices then telling other customers in Spanish a lower price .... Glad you were recording .
And Aaron, like me, is a straight shooter. It’s tough doing business with this guy.
You're good man just remember always have the seller take the book out AND put it back in. You can tell how they handle their stuff by how they put the book back in. Also if a book is brittle or has a lot of wear on a color breaking line it can detach inside a bag if touched alot like say a corner.
Thank you for the wisdom!
Anything over $20... I would insist on looking through the book. Make the seller be the one to take it out of the bag. I look through it with the seller watching.
Once encountered an owner of a LCS who got offended that I wanted to check on a $100 book. He claimed that he already checked the book and it is fine. I said I wanted to double check. That is where he got offended and kicked me out of his store. From then on... any seller who object to me looking through a book I'm interested in... I walk away.
Though I understand the inconvenience it is for the seller to have to open up the book. From my standpoint... I'm protecting myself because there are usually no returns on comics once I take them home and then later discover pages missing, clipped coupons, etc. I'm stuck with it.
That’s crazy that happened to you! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Hey Chris, first-time viewer, long-time collector. I think you already stated the obvious is that in the future, whenever you want to look at books, especially silver age or keys of any genre place the burden on the seller to take books from the bag. Also, for the haters that say @12:41 in the video you passed on, an AF 15 coverless are incorrect. That is a square bound book, as you can see from the staple placement. Zoom in, folks. Probably a Marvel Tales 1. I couldn't see the spine. I think you handled the situation as best as you could.
Thank you for this comment! I hope you subscribe and join this space of TH-cam!
I agree with your insights, and thank you for taking the time to correct the incorrect comments made about the AF 15. It’s difficult for people to make that distinction with a quick glimpse on video, but you clearly know your stuff better than most!
I think you did the right thing…your a good guy…really enjoy your search for collectibles😊
Thank you!
All those comic books look to me like they are heat scorched from years of being stored next to a heater. I've seen those before. The paper is all aged, dried out and will just disintegrate as you flip through the pages. They are just to stay in a bag -as is- forever. Also you would have to sell all the good ones just to make back your $750 and you will just have trash left over.
I agree. The plan was to resell everything and keep nothing. But looking closely, they were so brittle.
Interesting video. I wouldn't have been as kind if I was accused of that, so you kept your cool and acted professionally. I always keep in mind that if the seller is someone I frequent regularly, the next deal they have may be 5x better than what I'm looking at, so better to be composed and know that there's always a next deal to be had.
If he went down to $800 not sure why he would not do $750 but the box for sure was worth well over $1,000 well over closer to $2k imo.Now to resellers the box is only worth the least amount they could get it for.I would have just gave the $800 took the books and been done with it with you saying that you really wanted them and you even said yourself $1250 so you know the $800 was a deal maybe not a good/great deal but a deal all the same.I used to be a low budget collector so I know a lot about low grade comics and how pieces do tend to fall out when you take them out of the bags.And yes that piece was detached or almost detached you can tell it was not a recent rip and ofc the guy is going to try and rip you off if you will.Box was still worth $800 though at any rate my bet is he will sell them to you next time you see him.Do you deal in vintage toys by chance?
I love vintage toys!
This reminds me of trying to buy a car. Without opening the doors, hood and not having a test ride, or worse, can't hear the car run.
You didn't do anything wrong here brother. You had e very right to want to look at it, especially if we're talking major money 💰 🤑 💸 I'll bet if it we're the other way around he would wanna look at it closer. It's your money, why get screwed over. Both parties have to have an understanding, he obviously didn't.
This is SPOT ON!
Where is that place?
More than fair offer. Condition is everything. Of course you want to look at the collection.
Obviously! People saying they would’ve just looked and walked away… Suuure you would’ve!
You dodged a bullet walking away from that deal. Those books were junk and brittle beyond belief. You should be relieved
I am!
There actually was an Amazing Fantasy 15 cover less in the box😮
I saw that! I don’t believe that was actually AF 15. I think that was an older reprint
@@CGL_Collectibles marvel tales #1 is my guess since it was a square bound book
From the video it looks like when the book was put in the bag those pages + cover were folded over then someone slid in something thin and unfolded the cover.
Yeah, it looks like a poor packing job there.
Me, as a collector, as soon as I heard that. RED FLAG! I'd look at the books. If there was something there. I'd demand to be able to take the book out. Plus, I'd make sure he is there watching me open the bag. That way, there is no second guessing or blame that can be made. Secondly, those conditions are trash!!! I wouldn't give a dollar for any of them. It's like they came from someone's basement that got flooded. Then, they got more damaged while they tried to fix them to look "pretty" to scam someone. That is my take away on this video anyway. Glad you walked away and shared! Good lesson for beginners.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
yea too sketchy to be handling like that at a flea market - walk away you are better off - ALWAYS best to leave emotions out of any financial deals - you shared man cues that as an outsider would give me pause - thanks for sharing
what do you mean? I'm confused.
Thanks for the tips!
They don't look like they were in silver age bags. Makes them even harder to get out of the bag properly.
Next time alert owner as soon as the breakdown occurs. Do not even try to "fix" things. My advice.
Agreed!
Your not wrong got in this kind situation one time but got a full refund cause condition was not as discussed. Good looking out for yourself you would have felt like shit if you followed thru that deal.
Agreed!
Re watch video…the 2 ms pile has coverless amazing fantasy 15…$$$$
Was that a 1st print it looked real old yellowed it looked the part
it has a square bound spine, I believe it's marvel tales #1
He was trying to scam you into buying those garbage books for full price. You should have offered 200 max for those rat chew toys
Ya,I was thinking 300 max
Bad flea market bro if that's the best....come out to Chicagoland area boarder of Indiana, some of the best comics and deals.
Appreciate this comment!
12:41 in you had a coverless Amazing Fantasy 15 first spiderman!?
12:47 he checks the spine and it appears to be a square bound book. and what remains of the spine kinda looks like it says "marvel tales"
@@LimitedInfinity9 I believe you’re correct. My son and I were watching this and he thought the cover may be sticking to the back of Tinytown book. As I recheck it, it does look to have the Marvel Tales 1 character faces from the top left cover box in a couple frames. Got excited there for a few. That would have been a cool find. Thanks for the update!
Unfortunately not lol! It was a reprint.
A graded 4.5 IM #1 is not a lot of money relatively speaking. It's one of those keys (like Sub Mariner, Hire for Hire, Marvel Premiere 15) that everyone seems to have mostly because lower grades are affordable. Save your hard-earned dollars for those books and skip the raw onion-skin brittle books. All they're gonna do is get worse. I agree with the rest of the comments. He knew what he had, he dressed the books up as good as he could, and he was looking for a sucker. You didn't qualify.
I agree!
That book was barely alive and the next person to touch it would have killed it. Unfortunately that person was you.
As far as bargaining on a price, let the seller quote first.
This discovery was full of fools gold 😢😢
Good advice!
You didn't do anything wrong. Before you took it out of the bag, you could clearly see the slice at the edge of the cover. This is why I always go to a comic book store or conventions where they sell collectibles. As much as I love Flea Markets, you really have to know what you're buying so they don't take advantage of you.
I agree completely! I much prefer buying from conventions.
I would have told you...Look pal - they are FRAGILE...do NOT take them out of the bag...PERIOD. If you can't live with that, don't BUY it. The guy should NOT have let you open up the bag. Suggestion: Collect iron skillets instead.
I’m guessing this is a troll account LOL
It’s Matt from CGC, dropping hints about the next big thing.
That is not a AF #15 people its a Marvel Tales #1 Squarebound comic.
Thank you for clarifying!
The wind was blowing that book away. 😮
It’s always windy at our flea market… it’s a wind tunnel.
That shit's rotted......what the hell were you thinking? $150 for the whole box was $50 TOO much....Sober up dude. You should have walked and not even offered ANYTHING. Based on what I see, those things are appalling.....
Ok haha
Great video and I totally sympathize with you. Most of my huge grail books are lower grade. Around 2.0 I'd say. That's the range I could afford for my big books. But if i had someone pull a comic out of the bag and pieces came off. Well that would be on me. Unless the possible buyer mis handled the book some way. Like just ripping the old book out of the bag. Those older books need to be handled delicately and easy. If someone is doing that and a piece came off. I'd be like sorry it's a bittle book. And try and work with the buyer if they still wanted the book or books. But I'd never want to blame rhe buyer. I know the condition of my books. And that could be a possibility of happening. :) seems to me that seller knew there was some issues with the books. And that's why he acted that way. I just recently sold a comic brother. A daredevil #1 2.0 range. And he asked me specifically can he take the book out to read. And I told him. I took it out to check the book for condition and to make sure it was complete. And I had no issue taking it out of the bag. But I did tell him to handle book with care...hahaha he received the book and flipped thru it very happy. He should of been honest and told you the books are in rough shape. Key books are still valuable in any condtion. Just my humble opinion.
That’s an awesome story and I totally agree with you!
That’s a tough situation… His ignorance is mostly to blame for this whole thing. Like you said, he’s not a comic expert.
I think that plays a big part in all this.
Not very professional of him to accuse you of destroying the book. Great lesson learned though to let the vendor take the books out of the bag! Unfortunate experience but made for a great video!
Well said! Thank you for this lovely comment!
That was one of your best negotiating Chris! I would have still made the purchase despite that one book mishap. Some of the books looked in decent shape to take a chance on the collection. I think the dealer was relieved to get away from the deal! Lol. Bty that corner was already loose. You handle the book very carefully. Silver Age comics get brittle when not stored properly. No harm no foul. Some books did look good but some did looked really bad.
Unfortunately after that reveal I was not going to pay the agreed price of $750. I really wanted these books, but I would have needed to inspect the rest and who knows what disaster would have come from that?!?
Always ask the dealer / seller to pull the book out.
Yes!
The moment he told you not to pull the Comic book out of the back that should’ve been your first red alert and I would’ve asked him to do it then but thanks for the video you learn from that I always tell the person who selling the book to take them out of the bag. Let them do it.
Agreed!
Bummer! Great issues but in horrible shape. Seller tried to pass them as decent but you made the right decision, stay away. Btw you’re absolutely correct, you have to inspect the books before putting up the money.
I think inspection is a must. I didn’t even open the book to check for missing pages or cut outs. This was a very frustrating experience.
I am very particular of who I purchase comic books from. Anyone who starts out with unusual demands should be avoided. You can't take the comics out of the bag, screams "problem comics"
I will walk out of a shop or away from a booth if someone has to look up prices on the Internet. You should already have a book priced or at least have an idea of value in your head.
I will also walk away from a sale if someone has books marked to high. I already know a rough estimate of most books and I know what I am willing to pay for a book. Not saying I have not overpaid for a book, but I know when I do and I am OK with that.
If someone does not seem like they know what they are doing I will walk away. Someone who asks mint price for something that is obviously not mint.
Never be afraid to walk away from a deal that seems like you are getting scammed. The only thing you should have done different is walk away as soon as he said "You can't take the comics out of the bag"
Wow😮…how much would amazing fantasy 15…1st appearance of Spider-Man cover less cost…I’m guessing someone would pay thousands
That was a squarebound reprint in the video.
@@Acheron_426 yep, I'm guessing Marvel Tales #1
You seriously goofed not just paying the 750. There was a cover less amazing fantasy 15 you passed on and that’s still a multiple thousands of dollars book. Cost yourself a lot of money being to stringent
Haha! That was not an AF 15. It was an older reprint. Only thing I cost myself was a headache!
I really hate those bags with the sticky stuff on the back. Disaster waiting to happen.
There’s a key Action 276 in there with the first Brainiac 5 and a few other characters
It’s a shame… there were nice issues in there.
No doubt you dodged a bullet here!! There’s not a single thing wrong about how you went about this. If your dropping $750 you have every right to inspect the books.
I agree with you! Thank you for this comment.
You did nothing wrong that book was beat up anyway look like he got it from somebody's old attic you can look at that book and tell that it was beat up water damage whatever he'll get over it don't let it spoil your day you did what a collector would do any collector take the book out the bag look at it see if it's worth the money he's talking about I'm glad you looked at the book so you don't have to pay for that crap
Love this comment! Thank you for taking the time to write it!
@ 12:41 you went by a coverless AF15 that wouldve covered that $750 price tag and the whole box.
That was actually an older reprint.
The "seller" is, clearly, a scammer. You dodged a bullet.
Hi welcome back it’s been a while since I seen a viddy from you. Um I would say the guy at the flea market wasn’t to transparent with the condition of the comics obviously the seller had to of known the condition of the iron man and other comics I am sure they put it in the bag and board. It looked as of the corner was already cut and the bag was just holding it in place so it would present better than it actually was. It wasn’t your fault it fell off you were just doing your due diligence like anyone would before they drop 750 on some comics. I even suspected the seller knew because he even was dropping the price down quick from his initial price. It is what it is you know. I wouldn’t have tried to make a deal on the whole box but would have tried to haggle with one or two of them if I wanted to add them to the collection. The hardest part I think of comic collecting is knowing when to just walk away from comics when you been looking for a certain comic it’s tuff to walk away from even a poor condition iron man 1 without trying to counter offer a price for just one comic if you been chasing that comic you know what I mean. After all that I might of still offered them a lowball offer for it if it had all its pages. We’re just talking about iron man 1 but at that point it’s still worth to look at the others that you might be interested in. It’s like half of comic collecting is the journey it takes you on finding each comic you been hunting down and the little victories you get when you find that certain comic or awesome deals. Good viddy bud it makes me think of what I would have done in that situation. Like you said it prob would have been better if the seller took it out the bag but I do believe seller knew ahead of time it was like that.
Welcome back! I love this comment, but I can tell you right now, I probably would not have been able to pick books out of this box. It was an all or nothing deal without paying ridiculous prices.
You are 100% blameless for the corner of the cover coming off. It looks like the pages underneath were brown and I suspect brittle. Be glad he backed out of the deal.
Yeah! Dodged a bullet there.
@@CGL_Collectibles I don't think you dodged a bullet at all and I hope next time you meet up with him you can get the books.
He didn't sound angry/upset to me. He even said 'sorry' - so he understands. That piece clearly fell off and those folds would take decades to look like that. I think his initial reaction was to blame you, but eh. Seems like he's used to arguing with people.
You’re probably right about that. That’s why I don’t want “bad blood,” but at the same time I want to share the experience and my feelings towards it. I’m actively trying to ruin this man’s credibility lol!
Remember an Ebay listing is something that is not purchased
Not true at all you can filter it to show recent sales that is why everyone bases value from Ebay
Ok...first off...if its too damaged to examine you dont need it. And yea hes trying to move stuff he knows has value..but he knows they arent going to bring what he wants..youre ok man seriously he sounds shady
Thank you for this comment!
Those books are brittle. That's why there are so many spine splits and pieces missing.
LOL at 12:43 a thought a Coverless AF 15 showed up I was like holy crap, but then noticed the spine think that is a Marvel Tales #1 coverless. That stuff looked ultra brittle, it would all fall apart on you. You probably made out by not buying them.
Big fan of yours! Thank you for taking the time to leave your comment! I did a double take on that book because for a split second I also thought it was an AF 15.
It looks like that piece was still attached, but the creases are really brittle and barely hanging on. If you go frame by frame when it's being removed from the bag you can see the separation happening (kinda looks like the crease is expanding a bit). And at 21:30 you can see what appears to be a thin piece of the cover blow away as well as the corner of one of the interior pages (wind is a scourge to unbagged comics!). So in short, brittle pages, it was bound to happen at some point (if not there then when you got it home).
So from his perspective I can see how he'd think you did something, assuming he isn't a comic book guy that's handled silver and golden age books and knows full well about brittle pages. I wouldn't attribute to malice that which could be explained by ignorance.
Lesson learned! Let the seller remove the book from the bag!
I think this is a great evaluation of the situation! I agree with your conclusions!
You have a Stevie Ray Vaughan poster... an amazing musician you're probably not a bad guy... we live in a very different crazy world --I'm thinking that all these wacko zoids are crawling under rocks on a regular basis..Laxvespa-LosAngeles ... long time media seller on various different platforms mostly unusual strange stuff, sometimes even rare... but comic books were really never my thing... I actually carefully wrap and store all of my media items so they're not going to get trashed before they actually get bought, I take meticulous care in packing them so you could throw them like a frisbee... even the glass & fragile items are double boxed for my other inventory.. they probably weren't using acid free archival products.. they do make foam core that is acid free & archival.. but rather some cheap cardboard backing... was probably used with no attention to detail... when you get plastic things involved there's all kinds of bad condensation & yucky things that happen..
ALWAYS have the seller show you the book. You dont own the book and so how could you know how to handle it? HE should have known though.
True!
Hey! When someone tells me not to take the books out of the bag. I'd just walk away even if they're great titles. The books were destroyed anyways. The dealer has no idea what he's doing. He's in the wrong not you my friend!
This is great advice!
Yes, telling you not to take it out of the bag should have been a red flag. I would have just walked away right then.
I used to collect as a kid in the 80's and early 90's. I never even heard of "Not Brand Echhs". Is that like the predecessor to What The!?
yes
They actually have very unique cover art!
It's from the 1960's and they kind of are like What The?
The seller made a big mistake taking "high dollar books:" to a swap meet. No one has that kind of money. Time and again books get left out overnight and dew/moisture get in the plastic. The seller doesn't realize or care he damaged his own items. I've seen musical instruments left in the hot sun and rain. I've taken a seller's word before and came home with water damaged/stained books.
This is a “higher end” flea market, so you do get shoppers with deep pockets. But if you’re going to sell high dollar items you should act like a high value dealer.
Looked already cut to me. Just kind of sitting there looking like a crease. Was that an Amazing fantasy 15? Can't remember what the splash page looks like, but things in that artwork looked early 60s.
Yeah that was a coverless AF15 that he missed lol. Would've covered the 750 price tag alone
It’s a reprint. Look at the red text bubble. “Exactly how it appears in AF15”
Unfortunately that wasn’t an AF 15.
Unfortunately it was a reprint, but thank you for taking the time to comment on this situation!
@@marcusmolyneux6422 bro's going around the whole comment section spreading misinformation lol stop commenting on things you know nothing about. That wasn't a AF 15.
I've been to this flea market, and I know this vendor. He has comics sometimes, but he doesn't know comics. He often has someone who prices for him, and often prices low grade books for NM prices. I've walked away from deals with him before, and tend to steer clear. You don't know the bullet you dodged on this one.
I agree with you Barry!
Hi CGL New Jersey Collectibles or should I say Chris, even though you're Asleep Great video about Angry Seller Thinks I Destroyed His Silver Age Key Comic Books at The Flea Market, keep them coming, Also your latest video was outstanding, Also You did nothing wrong. Also Not very professional of him to accuse you of destroying the book. Great lesson learned through to let the vendor take the books out of the bag! Unfortunate experience but made for a great video! Also More than fair offer. Condition is everything. Of course you want to look at the collection. Also Not your fault, was already detached. Also thanks for sharing Chris keep up the good work stay safe out there in New Jersey and have a goodnight and a Happy 4th of July.🙂🟢💪🦸🎉💚❤️🏋️💯😃 3:31am.
Thank you Steven!
was that a coverless amazing fantasy 15 at 12:41 hello or Marvel Tales 1 ? it's nice to find old silver age books, but 0.5 - 2,0 just not worth it, that iron man was trashed, good to walk away
That was the Marvel Tales 1!
Yeah you really got to have the seller take it out
Yes!
Wow that AF 15 is Gold sold my ASM # 1 that was coverless I sold for 3,000 to bad you didn't make the sale.
Wasn’t an AF15
@@shadowman8786 what was it then?
Ok I see your point
@@louislaplante6195 Yeah, It is a Marvel Tales #1 from 1964. The splash page confirms it. Shame though, what if an Af15 was found like that in the wild. Crazy!!
@@shadowman8786 I found a coverless ASM # 1 in a collection still have it for now.
Not ur fault, was already detached. Keep up the good work
I appreciate that!
always have them take it out of the bag.
Yes! That’s my biggest takeaway!
Not your fault bro. He was trying to play you.
Appreciate your comment!
I agree with what you said. You should’ve let HIM take it out of the bag. But this is not your fault whatsoever.
That definitely would’ve been the safer play.
Nice little box of goodies... But unfortunately most if not all were in terrible condition.. Like definitely not 1000..not even $750 prices... Especially if they were all in the condition of that Ironman 1 that blew up in your hands. I can almost guarantee that you would have had books with missing pages and cutouts etc if you went thru with that deal. And that Asm Annual 1 is the better book over the Ironman 1 imo. If there were beat up Hulk 1s, X-men 1s, Avengers 1s, even a Amazing Fantasy 15 that was as good as toilet paper, then I would have been making deals. You definitely dodged a huge bullet man!
I agree!
He knew what he was selling...but it isn't his job to educate anyone on what it is. He said from the beginning you couldn't take them out. You agreed to a deal knowing that...then wanted to take it out...I believe you should have honored the deal...the book falling apart wasn't your fault at all, however a deal is a deal.
It’s comments like these that drive me crazy! DID YOU WATCH THE VIDEO???There wasn’t a deal to honor. I made an offer on the condition that I could examine the books. PLUS I’m not the one who backed out the deal. The seller is the one who called it all off! C’mon dude… pay attention!
@@CGL_Collectibles you negotiated a price with an as is condition understood and then wanted to look at them after he said just know what you are getting. Don't waste my time negotiating if you aren't ok with taking the risk. He did back out, but you reinsured him that you didn't want to do it anymore either. To me once you agreed to that price, after already being told you couldn't take them out and seeing them as is in the plastic, that's a deal. Just my opinion. You wanted opinions.
They would grade a PR
Pretty much.
nah it was an honest misunderstanding on all sides, you both probably panicked, he thought "shit this guy is gonna think Im trying to rip him off with damaged books" and you thought "shit this guy is gonna think I damaged his book" when it was just a damaged book that nobody was ready for hehe, maybe you arent able to work together again on a deal for things but that might be for the best
I agree to an extent, but that’s not what happened. What he said was the book was fine, and it was my actions that ruined it. That’s the core of my issue. If he came at me the way you’re analyzing the situation I probably would’ve felt better about the whole thing, but that’s not what happened.
Book looked brittle to begin with. I agree with you, let the seller take the book out next time.
Yes! Definitely.
He probably bought modern bags and boards for silverage books. Walking away was the right move in my opinion , good books and all that but man those were beat up bro. I think you dodged a bullet on this one ! Clearly the corner fell off that book , the video does not lie.
Agreed! Thank you for this comment.
Those books were garbage. You can see right off that they were never stored right. The pages were browning and crumbling from acid burn. You dodged a bullet by not buying that box of junk.
Agreed! Thank you for your input.
🦁you got to be kidding me. this guy know the books are in bad shape. he know if he gets a guy that know comic books it going to lower the price. he want a guy who dont know comics books just to buy the outside of the book. without looking inside. this seller is looking for a sucker to over pay what the books are worth. all you did was pull out the book and it fell apart. dont feel bad for what happen. you did what a real collector always do. this is just what a scamer does.🦁
Yeah, asking serious buyers not to take the books out of the bag is a major red flag. Then to turn it around on me just left a sour taste in my mouth. I appreciate your comment!
The cover was cut through so not your fault BUT yeah next time get the seller to remove the comic to view.
Agreed!
Go back give him $750🎉$$$
He is not a comic guy, he said they were in poor condition. He was concerned they might get damaged if they were removed, so you should have had red flags and moved on.
I had to look! I was not about to let those slip away without an offer, but an inspection had to be made.
Was that really a 1st print af 15???
Has a square bound spine, I think it's marvel tales
No, it was an older reprint.
At 750 you were over paying for those books. I think it’s better he decided to keep them because you would’ve ended up being disappointed
He wouldn't of over paid. If you rewatch the video again at 12minutes he goes right passed a coverless AF15. That would've covered the 750 easily.
That was a reprint of AF 15.
In hindsight, it’s better the deal didn’t happen.
750 for paper
Yup
Looked already detached to me.
I appreciate your input!
Yea that box was not worth 750$ to bad that was not a 1st print af 15 those comics were water and sun damaged and brittle
In hindsight it was a good thing the deal didn’t happen.
It was worth way more then $750 it was closer to $2k in fact maybe even more since I am not an expert on DC books.
Did u see that amazing 15????
Lol I don't think he saw it or even knew what it was
Unfortunately that was a reprint.
Marcus, looks like you have no idea what you’re talking about.
If your not saying who and where your just making it happen to someone else or at least just say the name of the flea market so if ppl see someone selling comics they know to stay away
I’m simply sharing my experience at the flea market in hopes to entertain & educate others. Nothing more, nothing less.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter we’re a book is stored sometimes they just fall apart for all the nay sayer’s in the comments . these books are brittle and look like trash I would have passed 😎 CGL did nothing wrong.
Appreciate you!
I was surprised you even entertain an offer. If I was shopping for comics and I saw that box, after seeing the condition of the comics I would've said cool books then walked away.
Agree. Deplorable grades on those books are only worthwhile if you get them very cheap
He started off by saying they were in very bad condition lol why would u take them out the bag. I don’t think you should’ve been blamed but he clearly warned you lol.
Well I had to inspect the book. Check for missing pages, cut out pannels, and just overall condition. I don’t think that’s the issue here.
Not really your fault. It’s the seller’s fault for not handling his own book and tryna make a quick buck on the low grade stuff. Doesnt know what the heck he’s selling. Always, make the seller handle his own book.
Agreed!
