Disappointed with Preorders from Mycomicshop.com
Scrooge replied to Cephusdog's topic in Comics General
Thank you for the update. Honestly, I know that's a feature I will use if ever put in place but I don't know how you'll be able to make it work on your end. It seems "risky" for the lack of a better word as customers, as you know, can be unreliable. Certainly far less reliable than you guys are. -

I thought MCS was going to try a new feature where you can build a stack over time and only ship once in a while even with back issues? Have they rolled it out or decided not to go ahead with it? Worth asking customer service (and let us know what they say ) -

Go back to DCBS? Were you having issues with them also? -
Do "Raymond Miller" Copies get Pedigree labels?
Scrooge replied to gadzukes's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
It's him. His collection was extensive and the books are floating around quite a bit carrying that same stamp. -

Our Recent Experience Selling Comics Through Mycomicshop
Scrooge replied to thehumantorch's topic in Comics General
Yes, essentially verbatim from your posts. Here's the only lead in to the extensive quotation: "The following comments were originally posted September 6, 2021 on a CGC forums page. As you will see, the writer located in Canada does an excellent job of explaining how our consignment option works." Which you did! -

There's no good way (or better way, I should say) to go about it. There is so much variety in GA from sub-periods to publishers to genres that it'd take years before you really a good viewpoint of all that's available so pumping the brakes is just delaying to no end. Jumping in will result in some mistakes for sure but these are inevitable no matter how much homework you'll do. I paid easily too much for the following three books when I started buying GA but so I needed to learn. Setting your sights on smaller books first might help - I still own all 3 Same, later, though I knew better, I paid way too much for this one but that's when I didn't know yet when to be patient and when to "pounce". I did the latter when I should have done the former. That's the balance you need to learn of course. That's when knowing folks in the hobby will come in handy. It also helps not to be stupid as it took me too long to realize that the kind of books I was (am) looking for are not the ones that get packed to cons -

I wish I knew. I come down to the combination of: western not headlined by one of the good guys + small publisher with lower print run. I can't say it didn't get good distribution given who the distributor is nor that it wasn't successful enough: it got 12 issues (unlike other Native American fronted books who typically lasted no more than 4 issues). How of the issues, I have seen way more # 1 and # 9 then # 3 and # 12 but the others are also tough to locate.

I think it would help us answering if we had a small sample of which these are on your list.

I don't dislike it as a guess but what I remember of Berg on war stories is that his style is a little more tedious / close / fussy and he would never have drawn that bottom panel with the large main figure of the G.I. The art gives me a vibe from Ace or Farrell whose artists I am less familiar with. Like Buttock, probably way off track.

I face the same with the fluctuating Euro to the USD all the time. It places a big charge to the accounting department of any firm to consider to refund you at what might have been the exchange rate back when you paid and even then, the transaction was listed, agreed and paid in USD. The refund must be in USD. Even considering they should / would consider FX fluctuations is a bridge too far. Imagine if you'd tell them you used Bitcoin to pay them in USD!
