Nothing happened I just find it easier to download comics...because I can get all the scans I want without having to actually scan the comic and I get all the new stuff without spending a penny.Now I do still purchase comics because I support Marvel but downloading is easier for reading and I don't have to wait for those comics to be shipped to my house.They are ready for download every Wednesday.Also I can get torrents and download huge chunks of Comic History I never got to read because I wasn't born yet.

Ask alot of questions, check their user rating and read prior feedbacks!  I have used Ebay alot and only had problems once and the seller made things right with me!
