Omnibus, Absolute, Deluxe, and HC Thread
Chip Cataldo replied to BITCOINSWAM2's topic in Comics General
I've ordered 3 of the Taschen oversized books from Amazon and thankfully all of them came in with no damage. -
Oh Ebay, it's just so funny sometimes.
Chip Cataldo replied to Mutie Fan's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
If it's insured the seller is losing money at a $15 shipping charge. Shipping a well-protected slab from the East Coast to the West Coast is over $13 now with zero insurance for just USPS shipping. -

Chip Cataldo replied to Shark's topic in Comics General
Thanks! I find myself becoming obsessed with cartoon books, the more obscure the better. Lol. I mean, I love the Looney Tunes and WDCS series but some of these wacko ones I've never heard of are great to look through! -

Like Shad/Bill, I troll podunk auction houses and pounce when I can get stuff cheap. I recently scored 127 books for $260 shipped. Pretty pleased with the condition once I got them in hand. The highlights are shown. The big surprise was the Peter Pan Treasure Chest. I had no idea it sold for that much! -

I remember when WBSS debuted that "Women Of Gotham" Bruce Timm piece. I sold quite a few of them. Classic classic piece. -
This Week In Your Plastic Crack, Action Figures and Toy Collection
Chip Cataldo replied to Buzzetta's topic in Comics General
Since we're sharing Aliens stuff I'll show this piece I just acquired. It's a ReAction Alien Queen raw test shot first engineering sample. The arms and legs don't have the mushroom plugs, and are removeable. It’s only got the mouth paint, none of the other paint apps, and of course is molded in the wrong color plastic. Only 2 were made and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to give this one a good home here on my bookshelf. 😊 -

This Week In Your Plastic Crack, Action Figures and Toy Collection
Chip Cataldo replied to Buzzetta's topic in Comics General
Not sure if I showed this one yet. It's a Mattel Secret Wars style Hulk, based off the unreleased 4th wave prototype they discovered a few years back. The head & arms are held on by magnets. -

Wow, amazing work! If he's ever selling, I'm buying one. -

Just keep selling with no issues and eventually it will increase exponentially. Or you can call and speak to someone about it, sometimes they will override the algorithm. -

I'll PM you. Some people get antsy about me possibly promoting my sales here on the forum. I don't take large discounts, ever...even if it's old stock and definitely not if it's part of a collection I'm already in the black on. I can afford for it to sit forever since it costs me nothing to store my stuff. At most I'll take 20% or so off and even so I'd have to not like the item personally and want it gone, like a Boston Red Sox or Dallas Cowboys item. Lol. -

Diversification. I sell comics, toys, video games, sports cards, non-sports cards, antiques, statues, misc items...whatever I think I can make money on. If I don't know about a category and am presented with an opportunity, I learn about it and move forward if I can do it. I also price right. I do a search for "lowest price" on the particular item I'm selling and price mine so it comes up first when someone does that same search (which most collectors do). Then I take offers or make offers within a certain percentage of that to move the item. Cash flow is how I run it. I try not to sit on something for long unless I got it for dirt cheap and can afford to sit on it, like that Ali Bop Bag I acquired via auction. Edit : I just checked my account. I'm down a bit this year but it's sitting at 7.76 items per day so far in 2024. -

No, you don't. Why do you think you need them? I don't use them at ALL and I average nearly 10 items sold per day. -

Literally within minutes of listing something at $150 (lowest price in that condition) I get an offer for $50. I can't wait until I invent the device to slap someone over the internet. -
Hesitation about a purchase... buy or not?
Chip Cataldo replied to Coverdeath 's topic in Comics General
Look, man. You said, "guaranteed no fake" and then @F For Fake liked your post. Don't make promises your butt can't keep, dude. That ain't right. -
Awesome. Thanks for posting that one!

We've been a lucky family. My mother had one in a weekly league round, my dad has had three, and I had one in a high school match my senior year.

This made me laugh out loud. Brilliant comment. Lol.
