Front back scans, reasonable shipping, return policy. Go that extra mile shipping method by not skimping on packing materials. They'll love you long time back scans arent always necessary... Selling a batch of modern 9.4-9.8s... no one is going to ask about back cover scans. Selling four figure mid grade GA books? yeah back cover scans...

I think the point is that someone has allegedly falsely claimed that they are selling something for 'what they have into it'. Not the relative appropriateness of the price. Ahh ok. Just wondering if perhaps, maybe, in some instances someone has been fairly stupid and gone in too far and just wants their money back. As unrealistic as it can be. point is... you buy a book for $200, then when you try to sell it the next moth you list it for $350, and then drop the price to $300 and say "that's as low as I can go cause that's what I have in it" is bs... unless you paid crazy shipping and you calculated holding costs, and rented it it's own storage locker to have by itself. Just price it at what you want to get.. you dont have to make up.

love when someone sets the price on their book and says "that's what I have in it", but you see the sale in GPA (from less than a month ago) for $100 less... and there's no way shipping was $100...

Yes I was being a bit extreme in my language/position to make my point.... I wasnt actually worried about the transaction as much as I was thinking "come on guys we're better than this!" but I get the fact that laborious grading can be overkill too... especially when the point is to sell a lot fast at a good price. it's all good

I get it Swick, but it's a slippery slope, and not every buyer knows which sellers to be ok with and who not... My first thought was, he jumped the gun and should have just waited until he could give grades. My second thought was there's an element of risk since it's a friend of a friend deal.... even if the lister is a known quanitity, we dont know the friend who he is selling on behalf... To me it's a craigslist type listing, which dont usually fly here, the only difference is that the person listing the lot was a known member, rather than someone with 1 post to date and a day old account. but I hear you, there are more egregious battles to fight...

If you're willing to buy from someone who isn't playing by the rules you're part of the problem. Seems like more and more of these "craigslist style"listings pop up. Why you shouldnt deal with this stuff... Photo of a pile of books, some showing, some covered, some only partially showing. No actual list of the books being sold (and some aren't visible in the picture) No grades provided, but a promise of grades. Selling for a friend No return policy (on raw books being sold with no grades listed!) but a promise of "Im sure my friend will work something out") .... what could go wrong ? But even as Im typing asking the guy to follow the rules, someone else is popping the Im assuming cause it's a "great deal"... at least the seller is taking payment via paypal so the buyer has some protection when he gets a pile of books in worse shape than expected, and is missing books that he thought was in the lot... If you buy from someone blatantly breaking the marketplace rules you're just encouraging the behavior to keep reoccurring...

If ya gotta ask, it's over your head. I would guess one milllllion dollars... :gossip:I think he was kidding

It's been holding better than it's predacessors. SSquad has been losing 200-300 theaters a week. BvS was losing like 500-800 a week in the same time frame (weeks 1-5). After 6 weeks it still is in over 3k theaters... After 6 weeks BvS was already down to 2300 theaters after starting in 4200+ It's almost holding in line with GotG, but I think this week we'll see the dip and it'll start to drop off at a faster rate than GoTG did... but I could be wrong.

Is this the weekend that SSquad finally takes a bit hit in the theater count?

Kid from the 80s. Marvel Super Hero Secret Wars was huge for me. Heroes vs Galactus Doom vs Beyonder Doom (with Beyonder powers) vs everyone which did not turn out well for the heroes...

Discussion of comic quality has no place here!

OMG I never realized that, nice call! So funny!

They lost credibility when they mentioned captain boomerang, most forgettable character since private Ryan in saving private ryan +1 I agree something under the Suicide Squad moniker makes sense for brand purposes, and I think a Deadshot/Harley tag-team adventure would be great. You can have it be a Squad assignment from Waller who is in the movie as "handler" but keep it on just those two and have a nice tight movie, not the sprawl...

Agreed. a 7.5 of the book sold for what $2600? So a 6.5 would probably be a $1800+ book, so it basically went for ($3800) a little more than twice GPA... remember when that Boy comic went for 6x? Seems like cheaper books go for a higher multiplier (so basicly there's a "floor" for camp Okajimas) I pad about 4x GPA for my Master Comics, but higher price books seem to only get a 2x multipler or so... (based on very very sparse data)

Nice Book Robotman, the books from '43 are super interesting in their markings... Startling Comics #24 "Okajima" (no code) Captain Marvel Adventures #28 "Okajima" Captain Midnight #13 "Okajmia" (no code) Captain Marvel #31 ("1-26-43") "1H", "Okajima" Catman #21 "Okajima" Catman #22 "Okajima 1D" Human Torch #14 (1-1-?) "1F" or "1J" or "1Y" (most likely) I've only found 7 books from '43 (compared to 47 from '44), and the Red Dragon #7 makes the eighth book...

I've never once hesitated to buy in a thread that stated they reserved the right to not deal with anyone... Of course I'm also not a jerk.

It's not a heart. It's the letter M in the 2M code. Here you can see the M for the 3M coded book

Octber: "Your eloquence has convinced me to bid aggressively."

Ah I see what's happened... he change the name of his sales thread... The thread was originally titled and matched the set I showed (Engine of Destruction), which is why I couldnt make sense of his claim. but I get what you're saying, in a generic sense if you add up all of his various sets maybe he did have "the top registry set from 2010 on"... it just (from HIS quote) makes it sound like he's talking about one set (which he was at the start). I wouldnt fault him hyperbolizing that he has "one of the best Hulk sets ever assembled on the registry" or "one of the longest running, top tier Hulk sets on CGC"... it just sounded like his claim was that this was a #1 set being sold, and from the books listed, it's not... just my little pet peeve for accuracy in the marketplace forum...

One Okajima went relatively cheap (1-2 year ago when I had no job and zero funds) but that was because CLINK didnt say a single word about the pedigree (outside of the one line mention in the book description). They did devote a huge paragraph with lots of caps to JAMIE GRAHAM CRACKERS AWESOME COLLECTION WOO-HOO!!! (can you hear my sarcasm?) The post-camp books still can be had for a fair price (market or 1.5x). The early ones are a whole 'nother matter. problem is nobody is selling so there are far more buyers out there than sellers so up go the prices...

but his registry set says otherwise... what's the point in lying? What does the red "-23,400" in the far right column signify? Perhaps at one point it was no. #1 and then he started selling it off, your collection has to remain current and untouched to retain the spot, yes? I thought the same thing at first ("oh he just lost #1 because he started selling), but then I just looked at the awards (first column) . Based on the ribbons, he only had the top Hulk registry for 2011 and 2013. Kenny has had it since 2014 (and I don't know who had it in 2012, since they've disappeared from the registry totally)

WHy bother lying? but his registry set says otherwise... what's the point in lying?

That's why I waited until it was past my budget... I hope it goes to a boardie obviously! Remember when that Boy Comics 16 Okajima went for 6x market ? This is a BARGAIN! (yet still to expensive for me

12m is a nice weekend! $3300/theater, outdistancing BvS both in per theater ($2600/theater) and week 4 total (BvS did $9m) Dont know if it will beat BvS out for totals or worldwide, but it's showing it is falling slower than BvS so it might have better legs depending on competition over the next month... The fact that after a month it's only what about $30m behind overall (domestic) than BvS with nowhere near the name recognition is pretty impressive. Look at the next month... anyone see anything that is a direct type compeition for SSquad's PG-13 audience? Morgan looks good, love Kate Mara, but it's R Sully? Sure it's PG-13, but it's a Tom Hanks movie where he flys a plane... Blair Witch, probably the biggest pull, but it's R so that caps it a bit... Snowden? Again R, and it's Gordon-Levit, but it's about security leaks, not exactly teeny-fare. The Magnificent Seven? A good shot, but it is a western, but PG-13, Chris Pratt, and so on. Im not saying that SSquad out performs any of them, but I think the lack of direct competition until M7 comes out (and even then it's not exact) means that SSquad has a chance to retain well for the next month...
