  1. I stole your idea and pre-ordered ten copies. Sold 9 of them raw when the heat was on and they were getting up to $40 a copy. Kept one copy for the PC. Selling for $40 immediately on a $3 per copy buy-in is math that works for me. I never once considered sending in to get graded.
  2. There have been times when I have passed on a consignment or auction item for the simple fact that I can't add it to my piggyback shipment.
  3. What method are we talking about here? Check? Wire transfer? Dogecoin? Sack of cash with a $ sign on it?
  4. I too have emailed to request that items I've won in auctions, or consignments bought as BINs, be rolled into my monthy shipment but MCS does not allow for this, stating that consignors shouldn't have to wait for payment. No argument there except that my request isn't to wait to pay; its simply to combine the shipment into my regularly scheduled monthly shipment. Not sure why I can do that with MCS stock but not with consigned books.

    Storage

    When the case is closed, is it airtight?
  6. Be prepared to wait a stupidly long time for reholders.
  7. Without giving away too much of the secret sauce I've learned over the years of buying from MCS I will echo this sentiment and say that there's gold in them low grade hills.
  8. MCS buyers know that they grade ultra conservative so they will often buy at prices more reflective of higher grades than what is listed. Usually. Some books just get lost in the crowd though.
  9. Finally have one of these, my personal Baker grail.
  10. You know what would be cool? If they made a show about a bounty hunter going on bounty hunting adventures.
