VAST ACCUMULATION OF STUFF SALE 1/28

If you’re new to my bloggy thing and these sales...

In the pages of the fondly remembered Comics Buyer’s Guide and in
a variety of online venues, I have been reviewing comic books and
related items for decades. Up until a few years ago, I received at
least 100 and often close to 300 review items monthly from comics
creators, editors and publishers hoping for reviews in my columns.
In addition, I had been buying comic books, books and magazines
since I received my first dime from a generous relative.  Or maybe
it was a dinosaur tooth which could be traded for cave drawings in
those prehistoric times.  My love for comics has been a vital part
of me almost since I was born.

Having amassed this Vast Accumulation of Stuff, which soon outgrew
even my Tardis-like house and filled what we now call the Fortress
of Storage, I realized I might be leaving a burden on my wife and
kids should I ascend to my doubtless heavenly reward.  I launched
biweekly garage sales and sold literally thousands of comic books
and other items at each sale.

This was fine for those who could travel to my Medina Ohio garage.
Some drove from as far away as Columbus.  It was less fine for my
Facebook friends and bloggy thing readers who lived further away.
So I started doing these online sales.    

Monday usually means new items for my ongoing Vast Accumulation of
Stuff sales and reduced prices on some previously unsold items.
That’s the case this week.  Unsold items are eventually taken off
this list and will be part of my garage sales when they resume in
the spring.  Weather permitting.  

Here’s how my VAOS sales work...

First come, first serve. In other words, the quicker you e-mail me,
the better your chance of getting the item or items.  Only e-mail
orders will be accepted and you should not send payment until you
get a confirmation e-mail from me.  All listed items are in good or
better condition unless otherwise noted. 

Let me stress that “e-mail only” rule.  Most of the few mistakes I
have made in assembling/shipping orders have happened with orders
I accepted via phone or Facebook message.  So...I’m not gonna break
my own rule anymore.

You should always include your mailing address with your orders.
That speeds up the packaging and the shipping.

Items will be shipped via United States Postal Service.  There is
a $5 shipping/handling charge for up to four items via media mail.
Add $1 for every two additional items.  The charge helps defray my
expenses.

Payments are by check, money order or PayPal.  My PayPal address is
the same as my email address.  Purchases will generally be shipped
within a week of checks clearing,  money orders received or PayPal
payments received.

Because this is a one-man operation done between family, household
and work responsibilities, these items are only available to buyers
within the United States and to APO buyers.

When you receive your order, please check it and let me know of any
omissions as soon as possible.  I’ll be double-checking the orders
on my end, but, if there’s a problem, I want to make it right in a
timely fashion.

This week’s sale ends when the new sale goes up on Monday, February
4. While supplies last, all orders will receive a free signed copy
of an Isabella-written Hawkman comic book.
