    Man, I really miss flea markets, antique shows and cons too. So many missed opportunities. Has always been the best place to make lucky scores. 

    About 2 years ago I was at a flea market and spotted a guy pulling comics out of a box. The lady wanted $2. each. He was stacking them up. A long run of Walking Dead. I saw #3,7,12...probably about 30-40 of them as well as a bunch of similar stuff. All I could do was stand there and quietly watch. He was there just before me. After he paid and walked away, I approached him with a smile and congrats. He showed me what he got. A near complete run of 1-35. As well as a bunch of other similar stuff from that era. Cool guy and although disapointed, was happy for him. 

    I have learned to keep my mouth shut when this happens. No sense in upsetting the seller or ruining his lucky find. I have been in the same situation and there is nothing worse than having some pushy, aggressive loud mouth person try to ruin my deal. 

    Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. If you do it enough, your time will come...

    Had a similar thing happen this last weekend at a flea market. I fellow JUST beat me to a booth that was selling comics by the quantity, not individually priced. Saw him with a beautiful stack of late silver, early bronze age stuff in really great condition. Told the guy he picked out 44 book, and the seller didn't bother to look at any of them just said $120. I kept my mouth shut, waited for him to finish up then I went digging through the boxes and grabbed some things for myself. Would be quite asinine for me to raise a stink or say something!

    As others have said, I would be ok with the shipping charges if I knew up front what they are. That way I can accurately charge my customers who are submitting through me and they can make the decision whether they want to submit or not.

    As is, when CGC dips back into my pocket on 10 month old subs, I am now providing a service that benefits everyone except me. If I passed on these extra charges to my customers, as CGC has done to me, I'd be drowning in 1 star Google reviews and VISA chargebacks. I guess I'll wait a day or so to see if CGC even responds to my inquiries, then I have no choice but to file the chargeback myself. 

    As someone who had never submitted on their own, always through a friend or a store I agree. I would be way more inclined to send off a shipment if I know the total cost of what I was sending in. There's too many what if's and variables especially with the exchange rate as too how much it'll cost me at the end of the day. 

  3. Hey guys, 

    Decided to sell my Active Comics #8

    Don't think I need to say how incredibly tough these are to find. She's got a few flaws to her, but is overall a beautiful book. 

    Flaws - Some of the inside pages have been colored in (as per the pictures). The Centerfold appears to be detached. Someone bound the centerfold with two bits of string (as per the pictures). Some staining.

    Single staples still holds the books together very nicely. Cover is attached. No major tears or pieces missing. 

    Gonna be asking $385 USD

    I'm shipping out of Canada, so shipping to USA will be aboot (that's a pun) $25 USD. Shipping to Canada is around $20-$25 CDN.

    PayPal more than welcomed. 

    Feel free to message for any questions. 

    First :takeit:gets it. No probation. 

    Cheers!
