    My slightly unscientific method of determining which bids came in before 9pm and which came after was to do a refresh of the last page of the thread at exactly 9:05 by the clock on my computer which syncs with a time server on the Internet and accept only bids which the board software said came in five minutes ago or more at that point.  That would put the bid cutoff at or before @comicsyte95 's bid of $95 on the TOS 52.  If I'm correct looking back through the posts to the thread prior to that, the winners are @Unstoppablejayd  for Lot 1 at $57.51 and @Flee-Marquette for Lot 2 at $105.  Thanks, guys!  If anyone has any ideas for improving on this system for next, and there WILL be a next time, please let me know.

    Here's a literal accurate way (if it helps).
     

     

    Alternatives to DCBS?

    in Modern Age Comic Books

    Posted · Edited by geoffdude

    I was a customer with DCBS since about 2005 or so .. back then Cameron was the person who answered emails, helped with issues, etc. Great service and times.

    Over the years as they've grown, service has gone down, some damaged books, and customer service suffered by long delays responding to emails, and at times almost combative attitudes to solving issues.

    This last year (early 2018) I started getting my books shipped in a bundled shrink wrap, which by the very nature of the process name/description has "shrink" in it, and they were sending me mostly damaged books (torn edges, creases, damaged or rolled spines) by using that process, I emailed them and was basically ignored then treated indifferently. I asked them to stop shipping MY books that way and I got told they wouldn't stop.

    Since I pre-order I still had 2 more months to be delivered... and those last  shipments had the shrink wrapped books AND the rubber bands to add even more damage. I emailed them again and basically they said to take a hike so I did. That was Sept or so last year.

    Not sure any move back to the old location will solve that process of damaged books happening.. or their poor CS, so be wary of them still.

    Since it's been awhile .. do they still shrink wrap and rubber band books?

    I suggest folks try mycomicshop.com. They have great service, shipping and very similar pre-order savings.

    Cheers.

    Easiest way is to create a free image hosting account at https://imgur.com

     

    It's super easy to batch upload images, then just click the image you want to post, copy the already-formatted image code on the right, then paste one image in this thread per reply/response. Wash and repeat for all your images. (There's no file limits then on this site that will impede you.) - Best, Geoff
