Spiderman Torment
« Thread Started on May 12, 2008, 5:19pm »

Finally got one of these. NM/M for $75. When I got it, there was a $28 price tag under the $75 dollar one. Considering this is going for $150 & up, I'm not complaining about the book.

I do find the seller to be a very undesirable person to deal with. For reasons that were my fault, I only sent him $8 for upgrade from priority envelope to priority box. He was slow to respond that he charged $9. I was a dollar short. He forced me to buy insurance when I told him I didn't want it. I asked him if he would drop the insurance and simply upgrade the packaging. He could keep anything I overpaid. His answer was "no". I thought that was being a bit of a prick since once he has my money all the risk is on me anyway. Insurance is a favor to ME, not him. My time is worth too much to play phone tag with an insurance company and all I wanted was the friggin' book. Needless to say, this guy isn't getting another dime from me. I think I got the book at a reasonable price, but he obviously doesn't have an ounce of respect for the customer so screw him. I'll give him positive feedback, but he lost a few sales because he had other stuff I wanted. His idea of protection is mutilayered backing boards folded around the book. I thought the packaging was pathetic.

So far I've had two flashy dealers that sell expensive books and they both packaged stuff like retards. I apologized to genuinely retarded individuals. They do deserve more respect because they have a biological excuse.

I ~may~ be getting a second one of these soon. The seller thought it was an $1800 book. Reality set in. Still negotiating payment method but we've agreed upon a price. He wants paypal and I don't have it.

Mailed payment for my second one. The seller says it's perfect mint still sealed in the plastic wrap. The last one was pretty d**n nice. I saw no flaws on it with the naked eye. It might have my fingerprints on it under a black light.

The first one was $75. The second was $100.35. Getting the second one was pretty cool because the seller had a reserve price of $195. I feel broke now because I loaned out about $260 to a couple of girls at work.

Got in the 2nd TPB. I've been too busy to scan it. It is like new, still shrink wrapped. Packaging was over and beyond... it was excellent. He also threw in a signed Spiderman #1. Signed by Todd McFarlane. Believe it or not, I didn't own a copy, so that was a nice consideration.

I just got this one in from E-Bay-shrinkwrapped and all. Now comes the long and probably expensive wait for the 2 Unity Diamond editions... oh well I was glad to get the Torment TPB for $40 plus shipping.

I've had 4 of the Unity Book 2 TPB's that I got for $10 a piece. I sold two of my extras and hooked a guy up with two more that were available for a lot more $$ locally. Unity Book 1 is the elusive one for me and I'm not going to spend a lot for them. If I go without... fine.

Good deal on the Spider-man. It usually goes for a lot more. As much as 5 times what you paid.

Thanks, I always assumed that you had a complete set of these... I did see a Unity 2 awhile back on E-Bay but have never seen the 1 come up. I will look around locally and hope I luck into one.

Close to having 2 sets of them all with a few extras on the Dark Horse ones and the youngblood.
