    ANNOUNCEMENT THREAD - post pre-sale announcements

    in Comics Market - Forum Only Selling Area

    Posted

    I've had a few people ask about Foolkiller's 3rd Annual Holiday Sale so I thought I'd just put this announcement here about it. We're still roughly 6 weeks away from my running it, but I've started preparing for it now. While I likely will run a short thread in the next week or so with some higher end books, I intend to begin the holiday sales thread on November 1, 2010 at 11 PM EST.

     

    The holiday thread will run Tuesday - Saturday at the same time each night, with a varying number of books. Invoices will be sent on Sunday and books will be shipped (either by me or my wife) Monday or Tuesday UNLESS a buyer specifically requests holding off.

     

    What will be in this year's sale? Probably between 500-1000 books (more likely closer to 1000). I've been saving a number of books throughout the year for just this purpose and I will be offering a ton of books. With only a very few exceptions, all will be at bargain basement blowout prices, more than ever before. Some books will be at shockingly low prices, some as low as 80-90% off guide. A lot of high quality silver and bronze will be listed at well below even wholesale prices. However, I'm going to list a number of books that will be more geared towards the budget conscious to make sure the majority of folks needs are met. Slabs will also be included included two magazine boxes of "blowout" slabs.

     

    There will also be a few nights where I intend to list every book out of my personal collection that do not fit a very specific category that I want to keep.

     

    I have generally given away art as a "prize" to the individual who spends the most, but frankly, it's such a pain to ship the art it takes a while to complete. This year, I will offer a major key to the individual who buys the most.

     

    So, I look forward to seeing you on November 1, 2010. Different nights will have different themes, like a $10 a book night (no matter what it is, NM 98? $10.) As usual, no advance previews, sales etc. for anyone so no favoritism is obtained. Since there will be moderns like Y: The last man 1 etc., I will have to list this in the Mixed Age thread.

     

    This year, I've also decided to donate 10% of all gross sales to the New Jersey Special Olympics. So there's a long winded announcement... thanks again.

     

    I am so looking forward to this Brian! Gonna start saving now :headbang:

    Dishonest stuff going on in the Board Only Sales Area Forum...Sad.

    I trolled the boards for a year before joining. I wanted to buy books from the sales board sooooo bad, but was reluctant, worried about getting ripped off. I watched and read how you guys police each other here and try to make it a safe and honest place to purchase comics. All my buying here has gone off without a hitch. I guess the point of this message is to say thanks krypto for bringing this info to us.

    I love is place :cloud9:

    With the purchase of my first home a couple of years ago, I got the A-OK from the wife to "decorate" the extra bedroom. Not as fancy as some of the great rooms I've seen in this post but I like it :grin:

    All my comic boxes used to be were the bed is but I had family come up this past summer to visit so I put a bed in the room and moved the boxes to the closet.
