Ha. Not any more. But I’ve cornered the market on Howard the Duck 5s

Posted this in the price variant thread.  I got lucky with the find and sold most after the movie announcement, so double lucky.

Going through some old files.  Here are some goodies.

Last ones.  From a WDCS 1-300 collection I bought about 12 years ago.  Still have the #1.

Every now and then things just crack you up in this hobby. 
So while there were 50 copies of Eternals 1 and 2 which is nice.  There was a box of just Howard the Duck 5 - 200 copies.
See if there is any interest.
Grades are VF to NM with a few less than VF here and there.  Also many NM+ and better.
Postage is included in the US Unlimited
Postage to Canada is $9 for the first 6 then $1 per book after
Postage overseas let me know and I can figure the cost.
Thread posts trump PMs.  Returns accepted, Paypal, check cash or MO.  All normal rules followed.
10 copies - $14 shipped
30 copies - $33 shipped
50 copies - $50 shipped
100 copies - $95 shipped
All 200 - $180 shipped (open until a lot is sold)
 
I will also go through them and sell 10 copies NM- or better for $25 shipped.  I'm certain I can scare up 5 lots if anyone only wants the higher grade. 
 
Here are scans of two copies

Going through some old files.  Here are some goodies.

I'm still able to keep everything inside a 12x12 office.  2 shelves with 20 boxes of comics, desk and computer.  Then an empty table for photos and workspace. 
The extra boxes and cardboard sometimes spills over into my basement storage area so that happens.  New collections spill over too as I process them.  And by process I mean organize, grade, bag, board, scan, price, look up value, etc.
I buy bags and boards off of ebay using the Silver Age size at 500 at a time. 
Cardboard is still my local cardboard box store.  They can make boxes for me too if I need.  But I still love buying 400 flats and 200 3x9x12 boxes for $40. 
Tape is still staples in packages of 6
Envelopes buy off ebay at 200 or so.  I shifted from the paper ones at Staples to the plastic bags from China or where-ever. Cheaper and lighter.

I've given up on photobucket.  In place of photobucket I use postimage.org.  My big trouble with them is the renaming of the file and that I can't rotate the image easily.
Now I pretty much use my hard drive to upload direct.  Either here or ebay it works better than a photo site.
One technique is to list comics for sale here.  Then, if I'm away from my home computer with the photos, I can list on ebay using the photos here.
Just right click the photo, "copy image location" and then paste in the ebay setting.
So there's that.

Update more on running the business end. 
Postage:
US
I try to avoid the Media Mail debate here.  I use it all the time with minimal issues at all. 
Shipping has increased a bit, but Media Mail at 1-2 lbs is about $3 and then 50 cents each additional lb. 
First class allowed up to 16 ounces, the break even vs Media is around 8-9 ounces, after that first class is marginally more expensive.  After 16 ounces it must go Priority.  So 1 lb 8 oz from east coast to west coast would be $12-13.  Media is $3.17. 
And it goes up from there at a couple dollars a pound. 
One caveat is to NOT use media mail when shipping to Hawaii.  It will most certainly go by boat which can take upwards of 3 months.  Not sure about Alaska but I think it goes by truck or plane if using Media Mail. 
 
Outside of US
I attempted to ship a large heavy box overseas via M-bag.  Unless you have some special shipping license or some such, you can forget m-bag. 
Bottom line is that overseas shipping is pretty expensive, especially over 4 lbs.
1 lb to Quebec Canada is $16
3 lbs is $25
4 lbs is $37
Flat rate 11" x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" is $47
and you can pack in about 60-80 comics depending on bags, boards and type of comic.  This box is not very sturdy so tread lightly. 
9 lbs is $54 so I might pay the extra $7 if shipping anything of value or condition sensitive.
 and that's just Canada
1lb to the UK is $24
4 lb package to the UK is $51
9 lb is $81
