I've been here every day for nearly a year.  Got forbid I take 4 hours of flex time for 2 days.  I come back both evenings, and everything here is a disaster.  I will start being more generous with the points.  

pernts?

Crickets last month.  Is it worth listing stuff again?

gotta be in it to win it

I am selling gangbusters myself but I have been listing like a maniac, took my listings from 50-100 to just under 200. I keep adding more but cannot get over 200 as I am selling 2-5 each day. These are $1-$20 comics though, nothing too expensive.

I find ebay buying my stuff that wouldn't sell cheaper here. The boards seem to be dead in terms of sales. I used to sell raw cheap comics in good shape rather well, but not much sales from my last few threads so I put it up on ebay and away it goes.

well, now I have a few K worth of bids! Thanks fellas!

NYCC should have many witnesses available for your request. Go to the cgc booth and ask for a witness for the panel and they will give you an answer. Have fun.

Yes, I was talking about the Eye of Agamotto that Thanos crushed. I was responding to someone wondering how the Eye still exists in this movie when it was destroyed in infinity war. 

The new 3rd eye for Strange is the Eye of Horus I believe.

I have edited the marketplace guidelines, and the thread will be put back.

17  .Mystery boxes are not allowed. You must list everything you are selling exactly as the buyer will receive it.  An exception will be allowed for stuff that is being offered for free.  Shipping charges for free merchandise can't exceed actual shipping costs.

I imagine it needs to be cost on label with any excess refunded. That would be my take if I bought one and I paid more than shipping listed on the label. Perhaps these transactions should be required to include the shipping cost displayed on the label instead of choosing the option where one can hide actual shipping cost

see, I'm still here.

Just to make you feel better - I have owned about 50 Jim Lee signed books, but I have never owned a Carl Potts signed book.

I was gonna say, I've met Jim Lee a few times but never Carl Potts. I did almost get a commission from him years ago but he quoted me $450 and that was a shock at the time so I never followed through. ugh.

Does anybody know how to turn off the immediate payment option? I've got a buyer that wants multiple items but can't purchase them and wait for me to send an invoice with the combined shipping discount.

I just tell them I will refund excess shipping if ebay makes them pay, which I do once a week or so.

please stop trying to co-opt the CGC VCC nomenclature!

If I were the Seller, I would let him out of everything. Avoids any future problems with someone already disgruntled.

good approach. I do think once you say take it you have done took it, but this is a great approach as a seller

spoon

It's like when Howard went to Sirius and started saying the bad words...I like the creativity as well as the inane beaucracy of the spoon much more than I like...well...crap.

Can we have the name of the mod who created the custom title underneath the custom title please? That would be a more subtle way we can use to shame others.

I removed a few words from the spoon filter.  If I see they are being used to call people names, I will add them back to the filter.  One of them is close to that point right now.  I only released it so it could be used as someone's real name.  Don't abuse this, or we will return to the old ways.

Like He-Man I have the power!!!

Makes sense, I always thought y'all were a buncha "members".

But I kid, I kid.

are you saying it would be more clear if it just says dick under some names instead?

n.y.w_7

she made offer, I accepted then she started asking about the item and decided to not buy (she wanted complete nausicaa, this was part 1, 1-7, said she didn't know it had different parts. etc.) Feedback shows this is a common tactic.

Can I get that done there or will they only do grading?

they will do neither. they only collect books and transport them to sarasota for the rest of the process. whether you want to secure them for shipping or want them to do so may matter. You go to the booth, show the books and fill out or give them the prefilled out form, they confirm books, take books/forms from you and place in a box with other con subs behind them and off you go.

Ok, so I have to ask when you received these 9.9+ grades. I’ve only had around 500 books graded and my opinions are shaped by my experiences and the experiences of others I know. Based on that I’m of the opinion that the vast majority of 9.9 and 10 grades were given out many many years ago. 
 

Honest to God I just picked a title out of thin air that I know has been submitted heavily to look at the numbers at CGCdata.com. Wolverine #1 from 1982. The book has had ~ 22,000 subs since CGC was founded. It has 27 9.9s and 3 10s. However of the 22,000 subs ~8,000 of them have come between Jan 2018 and now. Of those 8,000 copies there have been zero 9.9s and zero 10s. 
 

 

now obviously this is just a book picked randomly but I’d be willing to bet that this isn’t an outlier.
 

 

I got 2 9.9s on all star batman 1. Out of the diamond box and I myself prescreened for the best and sent in about 5. I got 2 9.9s.

I have only subbed maybe 200 books total.

And Whatnot can boot you from the platform if you question the legitimacy.  

I got kicked off whatnot for asking why my request to buy was not replied to. I was not impolite at all. This was months ago, not C2E2 related
