I am currently looking for ASM 124 and while looking on eBay listings for it I came across some company selling reproduction covers with the advertisements on the inside and everything. How in the hell is this legal? Doesn't this fall under copyright laws to prevent this? I went to the seller's items page and they have tons of covers listed and will create any cover you want. Please tell me there is an easy way to spot these if someone uses them? And can this be reported to eBay for copyright reasons?


Items like this have sold on Ebay for years, lots of covers to Key issues, incredible!!!! One would think it would be against all kinds of copyright rules but I guess as long as Ebay gets their cut, they're ok with it. I have "reported" it a couple a few times to Ebay but nothing ever comes of it. You are more than welcome to try it for yourself . The first time I saw it was probably around 10 years ago and I actually purchased one to see the product. I think it was $10 for a ASM #2, I wasn't impressed.

Right now,(and for the last month) all the key mutant & symbiote books are going through the roof. GSX #1, XM #1 & #94, NM #98, ASM #252, 300, 316, Secret Wars #8 I've suggested quite a few "value updates" but I feel the updates aren't coming fast enough to help anyone. upset (They've done and do a lot of updates, just not these particular ones smile )

Can you cancel it under the manage offers out or manage limbo sections?


No, looks like there's only 3 buttons/options:
Past Due (which this sale is because I have no idea who/what to pay)
Mark Received
Contact Seller

It was added to the Limbo Box on the 2nd, today is the 8th. So there's your timeline of my flailing in the wind. smile



If you place your pointer over the "past due" button, you will see "remove from this view." You'll have to give a reason for wanting to cancel but it will remove it from your Limbo. smile

Actually, since the announcement of the Netflix movie, Raw Fine on Ebay have sold for $250 + and Raw 9.0 have sold for over $450. Announcements for shows/movies make prices go through the roof instantly. Its like playing the stock market, one must keep an eye on everything. smile CRAZY

Yesterday, I had someone email me and asks for some advice about comics. Nothing unusual about that. Except when he said he found 80 issues from the late '30s and early '40s. I was skeptical but decided to push a little further. I googled his name and he runs a business that picks up junk. Ok, that makes sense how he could find something like that. Then he sent me a picture of All-American Comics 61 and I looked at his collection. The first appearance of Solomon Grundy seemed to be about a 7.0 if I were guessing. He called our offices and we spoke about the best options. I explained exactly what I would do if they were mine and congratulated him on the find.

Think about his, He got paid to haul away, 70 to 80,000 worth of comics. Deals are out there my friend.

Did you tell him one of his best options would be for him to let you take them off his hands for around, say $10,000 smile

I'm not having this problem in the app on my phone or on the website via my computer. All pictures show up fine for me. I did have this problem on the my computer awhile back after a Windows update and I had to go into the browser's settings and in Fire Fox there is an option called tune up. I ran that and it fixed whatever my issue was back then.


They came back up for me about a half an hour ago without me doing anything on my end but it was messed up all day yesterday and earlier today. smile No biggey, wasn't the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last. I'm just VERY glad its back to normal.> smile Thanks to whoever (or whatever) fix it. smile

MEMBER RANKING
EARN FAME AND ACCOLADE AT CPG
The world of comic books is massive, and while the staff at CPG does their best to keep up with all the latest trends and reviews, we rely on our amazing members and fans to help us maintain the most accurate collection of comics and comic values in the world. Our member ranking system is our method of tracking and rewarding our most active, trustworthy, and helpful members.

  • Your Rank
  • How do Member Ranks Work?
  • How do I Submit Data?




HOW THE SCALE WORKS
As members contribute data and it gets verified, they are awarded points that are consolidated into a member rank that represents the accomplishments of that member. Rated on a scale from 9 (Comic Grand Master) to 0 (New Member), our rankings also allow users additional freedom and quicker turnaround on their reports as they earn the trust of our staff and CPG members alike.
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR RANK
Participation and interaction with fellow members is the key to improving your rank. Completing successful sales, submitting verified book data, suggesting valuable price adjustments, and recommendations from fellow members all contribute towards rank increase.
BENEFITS OF INCREASED RANK
Members of the highest rank are our oldest and most trusted members, and have demonstrated an ability to buy and sell comics in a trustworthy fashion, and have provided valuable and accurate advice to our members and staff. When they submit information, it is approved more quickly.
There are only a certain number of each rank, so sometimes having a whole bunch of submissions isn't going to move you up in rank unless you have more points than the lowest member in the rank above you. I've actually moved down a rank one time after submitting a bunch of creators because the guy behind me submitted alot more than I did. smile You just got to keep submitting. smile
