That was quick, I was going to mention to use the Bing.com for 10% off and it was sold.

Here's one that I'm sure won't last long (or I'll be surprised).
The first Wonder Wart-Hog story in a Texas Ranger issue for only $35. I've already got this issue in my approx. 20 TR issues, so enjoy this rarity that usually sells for a lot more when they show up, which is about once a year.

Yeah, but he's still using a picture of a first printing, a first printing that apparently isn't his. Time to report him to eBay, I guess.

Has anyone noticed the picture of a Zap#0 "first print" on ebay that looks exactly like Bob's $4K copy on ebay?

Here's a Deadbone hardcover. It's an ex-library book and missing dust jacket but for about $10 it looks like a decent deal to me. I just picked up a similar copy that hasn't arrived yet.

Ouch, sorry to hear that, well forget the Conspiracy Capers he's selling then and I wonder how the Harold Hedd #1 (2nd print) would show up? I would dispute it and not wait for a "M.O."

EggsAckley — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 07:33:33 GMT

I received the FB #2 from Muzzy yesterday. He sent it in a bubble envelope that was smaller than the comic, just jammed it in & ruined the comic. He now says to return it, but can't return the money via paypal as the account is his room mates. He will send me a MO after he gets it back. I will update as this unfolds but BUYER BEWARE!

RE: Steals & Deals for You!

The seller I referred to turned out to be a pretty nice guy in really a desperate life situation for someone for what I gather is in his 50s. Lost his house, cant find work, Lives at a friends house for now. Lives in California in one the most costly areas to live. He might not have handled it well in the beginning but it all turned out alright. He got the cash he needed and I got my Donahue Zap#1. Shipped it tues from California, I got it thurs in NJ. Not bad. I cant say how crazy I might get given his situation. People do weird stuff when they get desperate. Who am I to judge? :dontknow:

RE: Steals & Deals for You!

wpbooks — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 20:14:28 GMT

I see that guy Alex selling all kinds of stuff, and figure that RC must have infinite patience and really love his wife. Alex seems like a classic schnorrer of the first degree.....lives off of and seems to profit from his relationship. I'm usually turned off when I see he's got it for sale.....bugs me more than the dealer stage52 referred to...I'm probably just working out some jealousy issues....

RE: Steals & Deals for You!

50centII — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:40:31 GMT

I saw the note he posted from Alex and thought me must have thought Alex wasn't really Robert's Brother-in-Law who lives with Robert. I know he peruses eBay for harder to find Crumb items to have Robert sign them and resell them.

RE: Steals & Deals for You!

stage52 — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:31:30 GMT

Well the story on this gets better 50centii. Well, it might have been $300.00 to start. Alex who lives next to God (R.Crumb) in France asked him if he had doubles of anything and If he sent them to him he would send one back signed by Crumb. The seller just plain blew him off saying he needed cash. He's out of work and homeless also living at a friends house. The next time I saw the listing it was at $50.00 BIN. It had no Back cover picture and it was not a good picture but I was 80% sure it was a Donahue copy by what was called an uneven trim.

I sent a email asking about if it said "Printed by Don Donahue" on back. He sends me back a non answer saying "Does this mean its a Rare 1st edition". Before he got back to me he raised the BIN to $ 500.00 . I wrote back that "No its not a 1st but a second print" and I told him It was pretty slimy to change the price without knowing what it was really worth after I asked the question and he now had revised the listing to say it was a Donahue Edition.

Well I went to bed a little pissed at the seller and kicking myself for not hitting the BIN on it right away. The seller knows nothing about undergrounds but has 10,000 albums to sell. It could have been a 3rd print reddish orange cover. I woke up Tues Morning to find a email saying he lowered the BIN to $150.00 and he also left a Best offer option on it. So I Offered a $100.00 for it figuring he cost me $50 bucks already, sounded fair to me :hmmmm: He took the offer and sent it out that day
And thats how all good comix purchase stories should end.

" Life is good in its twisting & turning ways". :P

50centII — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:16:31 GMT

Congrats, saw that one and thought it was a good deal, think it was originally listed for $300 before getting relisted?

RE: Steals & Deals for You!

stage52 — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 17:56:18 GMT

If you don't have a copy, the 2nd issue of Art? has some nice Crumb in it as well as a Ron Turner interview.

Another bit of history. Would pick it up but my microwave needs replaced today and in a week or so the alternator and battery for the car will have to be replaced. So, selling, selling, selling.

RE: Steals & Deals for You!

50centII — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 14:31:44 GMT

A steal in my opinion, I would recommend picking it up. Plymell told me he printed about 500 copies total of both issues (only #1 has Crumb, which is the one advertised), Plymell added that there was maybe 100-200 of the first issue and 200-300 of the 2nd issue (two variants) and the issues may have had variants between those 2nd issues. The 2nd issue has some beautiful art and color, including a Branaman centerfold.

#1 should be going for $1,000's in my opinion. Plymell bootlegged this page (from Yarrowstalks #2, which he received from a friend of his who dropped the tabloid off at his print shop, per Pam Plymell) a couple months before he even met (was introduced by Don Donahue) Crumb. This is the legendary page from which Plymell and Donahue thought they should print a comic book together of Crumb's work. This was printed approx. Aug of 1967, Donahue then met Crumb at a party in San Francisco about Oct. 1967.

Plymell also told me he had some kid selling these on the corner for a quarter and didn't sell many of them. He doesn't even had a copy of it. How many of these could have survived? I got my copies from a guy who bought a stack of Berkeley Barbs and there was a few of The Last Times forgotten about stuck in the stack.

Also, Plymell described the cover "That's Ginsberg praying to the junkyard god." if you're into the Beat Generation stuff which was the forbearer to the hippie generation and a direct prelude to the Underground comix movement.

Oh, congrats on the pick up.

Brother J, I don't think contacting a seller and offering a price for Buy It Now is wrong before it's bid on and sold, but contacting a seller after it's sold and offering more is just plain wrong. But I doubt someone posting a 1st print FF#1 for $5 is likely (though it could happen) and more a scam by the seller of using a stock photo to sell a later printing is more likely.

RE: Steals & Deals for You!

Brother J — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 14:20:19 GMT

looks like a sweet deal for someone that has some dough, too bad that's not me.

If I had $75 to spend on undergrounds, I'd probably be buying some of the books you're offering, Rev, as there has been some real good deals on good stuff.

Brother J — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 14:11:28 GMT

I'm starting to wonder if there isn't somebody out there who is a real rat that is finding these Buy It Nows after they have been purchased, contacting the seller and making a higher offer, which causes the seller to back out of the deal with the original buyer. I just had a similar situation with a Freak Brothers #1. Someone had a grey tire FB #1 listed with a $5.00 BIN, which I was happy to pop as soon as I saw it. When the book finally arrived, I instead received a 14th printing. When I got in touch with the seller, he told me he was using a stock picture and used the wrong one... :angry:

Seems to be too much of a coincidence with a rash of sellers all of the sudden backing out of sales left and right. :hmmmm:
