Back from CGC and very happy Shared highest grade: Second highest grade (a couple of 8.5's) This one did hurt a little. Should have been higher but the cover got stuck when I took it out of the bag and board and ripped. Not visible on the scan but I think that cost me a point.

Most Epic sales topic Evah. Whow!

I used the Comixology list via my Comic dealer (yes, like drugs dealer). I added the books and my online dealer would get my order. My dealer would then send my books monthly. From the moment the Diamond version goes live my comic book dealer will be using their system. Easy for my modern book fix.

Resurrection Man (Mitchell "Mitch" Shelley). Every time you die you return with a new power. OK, the dying might not be fun, but a new power every time sounds epic.

Romano Molenaar Birds of Prey 0 page 18 Roodhaar (Dutch comic book)

Still one of the best limited series ever created.

Nee! Belg!

I thought it was still a little messy ... so thanks. You should have seen my comic book store. Everything in perfect order. (I miss my store)...

So much beauty in this sale thread, I consider it a crime!... Now, where are my winning lottery tickets.

My comic book room / home office / game room / action figure room / collectables room / NERD DEN

Great tip! Thanks Junkdrawer and Mysterio. I already paid for this one, but I keep that in mind for another time. on the other hand, do they read their mails cause they don't react to the one I send about 5 days or so ago.

So I won one CGC book with them... A $35 book and have to add $65 postage! I wonder how other companies can send books to Belgium for $23 and they want $65. I can even get about 10 CGC books for about $50 with other sellers in the USA. if they would provide this high postage info before bidding I would have passed. $65 for one book? COME ON.

Used to have a comic book store. I could never do pre-pay. People would not order on pre-pay for books that will come out in 3 months. (From Preview order to release date it is about 3 months). I tried and people would not order. So I either order and hope they will pick up, or loose over half my customers to another store. Most people did pick up their books. I think about 3% didn't and that was a lower loss then loosing customers who would not do pre-pay option. the only other option would be a credit card on file and automatic pay when arrived at the store. Something most online pre-sale stores do now.

Same book, same grade, one with the sticker, one without! I will buy the cheaper one of the two. And if I ever would get a case with a CVA sticker, I would (try to) peel it of...

Well, I can either enjoy mid grade books that I can afford, or just keep gazing at those high grades I can't buy (Although I do plan to win the big lottery)

The program is a total “legal” scam. But eBay, being the multinational biggest auction company on the web, can do pretty much whatever they want, including scamming customers. All the things wrong with it: The program forces us to pay twice for shipping. Although I must admit I do see some items with lower GSP shipping popping up once and a while in comparison with the direct shipping of sellers not using it. Still exceptional. The worst new thing they do is not adding the tax before you buy. Now you have to buy and then the tax is added to the total. No possibility to opt out anymore. In Belgium this is illegal. Tax needs to be added on all final prices on all items on the ticket. (So not at the counter like in the USA). You need to be given the full total before you buy it. With the new set up in the GSP this is no longer visible. Although you can do some calculations yourself, it isn't always accurate. Ebay is selling in Belgium, so by Belgian law they should show the total including all tax charges. They add 21% tax on anything, even if the tax on books for example should be 6% (books, not comic books, they are 21% tax). “Legal” theft in my books. On top of that you have another import processing charge. At the end of the ride we pay about 40% more then sold on eBay. There is also a minimum where tax is not added (I think items under $50), but eBay again does add it, even if they shouldn't. And I'm sorry if one asks for send it as gift. But if a book of a $100 after postage and taxes becomes a $180 book, it is normal people ask this. No, you don't have to do this if you don't want to but you can't get upset people asking it to save $40 or so. And really, adding gift on a package is not going to get you to burn in hell. I am pretty sure of that. Or will not get you in prison, or get fined, or anything else like that. I think jaywalking is a bigger crime then that. .... But again, nobody can force you to say yes if they ask. Just don't get upset about it when buyers do ask you. Not our fault we are born in the wrong bloody country.... (Well at least I think I am born in the wrong country) I still buy on eBay but try to avoid the “legal” scam GSP program if I can.

Dre, or BeachBum as he is know on this board, has helped me with my 9.8 addiction. Great guy and great service.

Got myself a great CGC book from Ed. Great experience! Highly recommanded seller on the board. Thank you very much, Ed. See you on the boards.

Somewhere middle 60... What are the chances I still get the Greggy box?.......

How do you do that? I have 101 short boxes filled with comics and 9 CGC boxes filled with comics and I still want more... good thing my wife is OK with that... I don't think she would be with the 2 girls on the side.

Very cool! Do share more pictures once filled up with goodies.

Submitted my form with about 30 picks.... *pick me first... pick me first... pick me first*

I understand some things are hard or expensive to send abroad but maybe add the option to us not in the USA to pay for postage to get it. There some things I would pick even if I had to cover postage myself. Just an idea. Just my 2cents. Looking forwards to the prize drawing.
