I couldn't resist it! It just seemed so apt!

Don't see what the fuss is about- clearly Wayne meant to say "banal" but his finger slipped.

I'm trying to remember which episode has got Peter making a deal with Lois, & part of the deal is that he 'gets anal'. (I've watched too many eps in too short a time frame)
That's where the inspiration came from.

Ah, that rings a bell, but like you I've watched too many recently to remember which one it was from. Where's Matt when we need him?

Probably doing what Peter was after in the first place...
Just been checking out some of the remaining New Adventures and was confronted by one of my pet bugbears...
"Having been read once, the book has a crease to the spine".
It is not essential to bend the spine of a book to show that you've read it! The majority of books can be read perfectly well without inflicting permanent mutilation on them! The NAs suffered badly enough with the white spine and back cover meaning that they pick up every bit of grease and dirt from your hands. It's such a lottery buying them on Ebay that I sometimes wonder why I bother (then look at the prices on Amazon and realise why).

well, I was about to post an "argh" in here about how there were a couple of creases in the spine of a book that I stated was in "excellent condition", and someone's getting arsey with me over it!

Erm, Ant, I hope you don't think that I was having a go about that copy of 'Christmas on a Rational Planet', because I wasn't!
There's somebody else who's listed a batch of NAs and seems to think that it's normal for every used book to have a creased spine, almost as a sign of having been read at all. That's what bugged me.
Condition-wise, the problem with buying books online is that to anybody who collects books, there's a generally agreed set of descriptions used by the like of Book and Magazine Collector and so on. And then there are the descriptions that people who don't necessarily know about such things use. "Good condition" can mean two very different things in those circumstances.

no, I know that it wasn't you! Besides, I think I said on the listing for that that it was slightly damaged
But this guy is just being arsey about it all, and it's annoyed me. I thought that "excellent" condition would be alright for a couple of creases up the spine - I didn't say "pristine" or "mint" condition. It's just annoyed me, and I'm really hoping that this bloke doesn't give me negative feedback!

I think spine creases are the one Neddy no-no that it's always better to mention in a listing than be sorry. Book collectors tend to be more sensitive about them, I suspect in part because a creased or based corner can be hidden when the book's on a shelf, but a creased spine is always visible.

Four of my items went unsold, and the ones that did go went for crap prices (although I made a double profit on the Pink Panther set, so I guess I should be a bit pleased bout that). I'm annoyed.

Pip,
See what she says. She may have a relative in the UK and be planning to get you to deliver it there - if so, she's perfectly entitled to bid. I once had a bidder who lived in Poland but who asked me to deliver to his Mum over here.
We had quite a successful auction this week. The awful "Bit of a Do" went for 17 and our Dapol Dalek for a nice tenner. Plus we sold the duplicate copy of Billie's book we have and some other bits.
My Grandad's vintage 45 classical records have, however, done NOTHING.
Si.

I've offered to post it to her anyway as a one-off (obviously at a higher postage cost), I'll wait to hear back...

I've been tempted to sell my Dapol figures on eBay for a while now, but I'm not sure I want to part with them. They go for an awful lot though, I saw the Melkur go for about 40 the other day!

Dapol did a Melkur?
I've got a Dalek with no eye stalk and a Sylvester McCoy with no head (but with umbrella intact). I wonder if they're worth anything.
