    What is your return postage for CGC books to Belgium? Will you be able to get books signed by Ming-Na Wen (actress) at C2E2. I saw your form on your site, but no return price to European countries.

    I want to say a big thank you to those that have send me extra gifts! So awesome… Best forum people all over the world wide web. I feel privileged being part of such an awesome community. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    I like to see the asking price just for the fun of it. I look for the "I take it" in the hope the price is still there. Even if I am not interested in buying a certain book, I still enjoy the information about the sale of the book.

    Healthcare is among the best over here. That is true! Everybody pays to a pot and if needed everybody will get the best care needed. You can have an extra by paying a private premium so you will get a private room at the hospital (most companies will pay that for their employees). A lot is government regulated though. Like an ambulance ride can never cost more then €60 ($70). a doctor visit will cost you about $30 and your mandatory insurance will give most of that back. School... sure free (from tax money) but at a cost of the schooling itself (regulation and changes can only be done with government money and after long bureaucratic road. My son went to an international private school. Costly, but so much beter then the funded schools. I could write a book about that on here, but I'll stop boring you. Still, we understandably pay high tax for this, but the VAT on goods is to high as many people buy abroad. If you live near a boarder it is cheaper to go foodshopping in another country (The Netherlands, Germany...) I buy my comic books in the Netherlands. Cheaper then Belgium, lost VAT income for Belgium.

    Still not at bad as over here!... In Belgium we pay 21% tax and the seller pays it as in Belgium you have to add the full price tag on with TAX included. You cannot have €10 plus TAX. It has to say €12,10. So when I sell something on ebay, TAX will be deducted from my total. And TAX is taken from everything and everyone, even if soled abroad (unless I have a company with a VAT number) Ebay has been collecting this TAX in Belgium for many years. Or, as I like to cal it at 21%, "legal theft by the government".

    I think there was a topic (on the old forum) about Spawn being the most slabbed book. At least that's what I remembered and therefor picked (before I saw the result in this thread).
  8. 999ghosts
    No! It has been tried. I seen companies/individuals try it. After weeks you would not hear about them again.

  15. 999ghosts

  17. 999ghosts
    #63... I want a recount
  18. 999ghosts
    Just to let people know if picking my Walt Disney World prize. Animals are not allowed at the resorts!!! There is a Kennel, but you will need a car. Just wanted to give the heads up!
  19. 999ghosts
    I noticed some of you put a number on all the prizes in the list. So at one stage you add a number to your own prize?
  20. 999ghosts
    No problem. Normally I'm good spotting these myself. But English is not my first language and I am always open to learn. I do speak 4 languages though!

    I know I am a little late to this party, but I move that Radiant Love cover!

    But if I put a snipe of $105 at the last three seconds you will have no time to adjust you bid to $110. Some people bid like that. Oh, it's only $5 more. let's place another small bid. So sniping can save on those bidders that will add another bid. Once they see they are loosing they will higher their first bid up with a couple of $$$ and there are a lot of them out there who will bid like this. I always snipe. If I snipe below your high bid, I loose, but if my snipe is higher no chance to up you bid anymore and that is why people do it and will save in the long run. I use auctionsniper
