- All comics and figures are stored in Smoke and vape-free home, with no exposure to sun, and humidity/temperature extremes

—Overpayments on shipping are refunded after i print label. I try to keep shipping prices low but comics are heavy so plz understand. I’m open to your preference though—save $ and risk bumpier ride or pay a little more for Priority. I default to Ground Transport.
I’ve learned a lot from earlier mistakes and have not received neg feedback in over a year; even the ones I did get as a beginner seller were defensible and in all cases customer received full refund PLUS the items that were shipped…there is a “garage sale” culture element on eBay I’ve noticed, where Some people don’t want to pay anywhere near the value of items and are impossible to please. I won’t go further than to say I’m a better seller than my rating and have had 100% positive feedback for the last year +.
