Hm, I noticed that ebay.com doesn't have a category for comics books is that right?

Actually, ebay does have a category for comics. Its just listed oddly. Its Collectibles=>Pop Culture=> Comics.

Yes, it takes me a while to find it sometimes too. The best thing to do is just put that section of ebay on your favs list.

Speaking of ebay listing things oddly, I wish that they would just create a category for VCDs. I know that VCDs will work in MOST DVD players, but still, I don't like to see them listed under DVDs when I am browsing for DVDs!

Umm, aren't VCDs illegal? Isn't that why ebay takes them down when they catch them?

That might explain why they don't create a category for it. I guess they might be illegal if they aren't official releases, but that doesn't stop people from selling them. I've gotten several bootlegs on there, including a prized collection of Robert Smigel cartoons on tape that were recorded directly from his reels and not from TV. After the first auction (I got the first copy put up for bid) I noticed that ebay began to shut the auctions down.
