Does a WD 1 really sold for $2695???? As much as I understand how popular WD is, this is crazy

This is true for any kind of shipment, domestic or international.

That's an interesting one. I don't know that I've ever seen that. Usually what I see is free domestic shipping, and some amount off international, like ten bucks or whatever. Belive me, it happens a lot. To be fair, I have to say that there are seller who DO offer discount on international shipping, but may dont

So what is the answer to your query? Are you saying he should eat international shipping which could be $20 - infinity in costs? Or that international customers should receive the value of free domestic shipping? The latter has some cachet with me, the former is abject craziness. Sean, you are smart enough to know that the right answer is the latter. Never said seller should eat international shipping cost in full....only that if they offer free domestic shipping (lets say $10) then it would be a great customer service practice to offer a similar discount on international shipping (lets say $30 minus $8-$10)

I belive that if a seller offer a discount, than he should give it to every potential costumer, not only to a selected category

Totally agree. People claim that a seller should add the paypal fees in his asking price; well, when a seller offer a discount if you pay with MO he's doing exactly that: he added the fees to the asking price but if you, as a buyer, will save him a few bucks, he'll back the favor to you by offering a discount. And let me open a similar can of worms, mind you, it's not my intention at all to rise any controversy, I just like to ask what is the general consensus about something that interest me as a overseas buyer. Here's the thing: many time I read on sales threads that shipping within the USA is free and international buyers pays exact shipping. Should a seller that offer free domestic shipping offering a similar discount on international shipping cost?

What about ASM 583? Do you think prices will be affected by the upcoming presidential election? I guess that if Obama wins, prices will rise a bit

All the Whitmans left (WW 259 and Superboy 254)

If you have a second copy, I'll take the Batman 276 as well

Detective 462 I'll take it

Asm 145 I take it

Actually re-reading Luckiest Man, Life and Death of Lou Gehrig Not only the greatest baseball player of all time (IMO) tied with Babe Ruth, but also a great human being.

Heck yea its nice! Like VF looking for sure! Gotta love those Bats too! though I have a question Marmat? Now we know that Novaro art was licensed for the EPUCAL editions in Columbia….. But as far as I know that was the only geographical difference in Novaro art that I had ever seen. Notice the differences between the books you posted and scans from the Novaro run on GCD. The GCD database has Novaro books of both types there so that doesn’t really answer any questions? Some have speculated their might have been different Novaro printings, some rarer than others? Or maybe different runs slated to go to other Spanish speaking countries? At this point I am not even sure the Columbian EPUCAL books were printed in Columbia or on the Novaro presses themselves in Mexico? Lots to think about…. Can you shed light on what you think might be going on? Thanks! Love the books BTW! Is it possible a Spanish as in Spain Novaro variant exists? This is what I know about this subject. Editorial Novaro was a huge, and still is, a publishing company based in Mexico. Starting in the early 50's they begun to translate superhero comics for the spanish speaking market; this includes latin America and Spain. They had production plants in almost every country. The difference in colors are probably not an intended variant, I mean, it was not done in purpose. I think it was more like a difference in the color mix during the printing process. But they do translated the text for any country. In Spain, there are lots of words that are used in a different way compared to South America countires and viceversa. So yes, there are spanish variants, but not because of the covers, the difference is on the texts inside. Tomorrow I'll check what the indica says, maybe I can find more information

The Asm 121 is a spanish edition, and it's in surprisely nice condition.

And a few Batman

How about those?

About italian edition, here's something you dont see every day. NM Uomo Ragno 1 sold on ebay for €755

Thanks, you got a great book

Hello, I am NOT responsible for any damage done to the system by taking this advice. You do this under your own free will. If you don't have the original RF switch, get a pair of AV cables. The side of these units do accept AV inputs. Clean the games with a solution of rubbing alcohol and very little water (depending on the percentage of alcohol used). Use a q-tip and and dip it in the solution and clean the contacts on the cartridges the best you can. To clean the system: I will assume you do not have a cleaning kit handy, so we will compromise. That SMB/Duck Hunt cartridge is worth less than a dollar and this may not hurt it. Use the q-tip covered in rubbing alcohol and put it on the contacts of the cart. You do NOT want it dripping wet, but you do want it moist. Insert the cartidge and press down usually half way until it hits the system's contacts. Keeping pushing it back and forth in the system; stopping to clean the cartridge's contacts again and again. Repeat this process. The system may or may not work properly after this. Do NOT test the system while the games and system are wet from the cleaning. This is way you clean NES systems with common items. Kind Regards, 'mint' PS: If this doesn't work and the system does not work, assuming it powers on, we know the power cord is good. Those are worth about $7-$10 on the open market on a good day. These (systems) can be repaired (assuming it powers on, by replacing the system's PIN connector. The cost is usually not worth the effort. Like I said, I sell these systems wholesale with games for $29.95 and yes, that does include the light gun! Thanks for your advice, I'll try to clean it without destroying it

I was waiting for this news for so long....

"Jerkberg"

It took some time (not Rupp fault) but finally got my box from the last Clooneython. Thanks Rupp, as usual way beyond expectations...

I am a self storage manager and it came from an abandoned unit. The only games are the two that are pictured. How do I clean ghis thing? Thanks for your help
