I had a copy that I sold online for a little under $100 a few years ago.
The problem is I didn't add tracking like I often do. The buyer from e-bay quickly filed a claim stating he never got the book. I called the post office, I called different branches, I had a receipt from the post office but it didn't do any good.
I've never had an item lost in the mail, EVER! I have since banned the buyer from my auctions do to his questionable behavior during the event.
But I learned a hard lesson..... always add tracking.

Now the guys trying to sell a random comic with THE WALKING DEAD in the title. Amazing. I think the book is just published by Image or something too and has no Kirkman affiliaction. hilarious.

I thought about your post and I must admit that I'm that way with Avengers 57. I will never own a copy of that book.
Tell the story.

It seems strange that my life should end in such a terrible place, but for three years, I had roses, and apologized to no one.

That is Boardie Peasofcrap. Always been 100% stand-up guy with me. If he said the book was lost, I would venture to say it was lost. Questionable to me is a guy who is that twisted up about a sub-$100 deal that he is willing to trash someone years later. Why don't you post your own Ebay name so I can make sure I never deal with you, please.
Be happy to my name/ e-bay handle is grodd. Feel free never to deal with me. Although I can't understand why you find it questionable.
Anything else you want from me, please let me know.

@CaptainOfIndustry: Maybe eBay wasn’t the ideal place to negotiate the purchase of such a costly book. I could never think to spend such money on a single book, especially a silver age book from the 1960s, no matter how I love it (I’m still lacking a lot of issues of Fantastic Four, which I collect, especially FF#1), but if for some reason I were going to buy such a costly book, I would surely do so from a seller I have learned to trust for his integrity, or ask the help of a "Continental US" friend…
I think Watson was being ironic with no offense intended.

@Rip: He should at least tried to solve the problem with you before leaving a negative. I happened to experience the same problem, the seller tried all he could but I never got the comics. About 100USD also in my case. But I never left a negative to him (besides, he shipped the books OK, and I even followed the shipping up to some point, because he provided the tracking number). It’s just "bad luck" (I’m no fatalist, but so to speak).
Tell the story.
