IF WD 1 drops to half price, I'll pick one up, for sure. The show may be sputtering out, and I'm sure we've long since seen the peak of the show's popularity, but that book is still ridiculously low-printed compared to current, and I'd say future, demand. Only, what, 7000 of them to go around? Even if the show is canceled, and fandom continues to taper off, that whole property was an honest to goodness cultural phenomenon. Things that are that popular don't just disappear forever. There will always be demand for the book, as the #1 key of the modern age. It may drop quite a bit, but it will never go away. WD 1 isn't a flash in the pan like Sixth Gun or whatever. That book is legit.

Yep, it's like a low print run copper key that happened to come out in the modern age.

Hey gang, about to get started. I got quite the pile for you today. Hopefully something you just can't live without. So, go let the dog out, grab a cold one and I'll get started in about 15 minutes!

Love your sales threads Robot. Even when I'm not buying it's a spin of the wheel with every refresh to see what cool stuff you're gonna offer up.

Ok I liked #4.

Me too. The backstory was great. It's a slow burn waiting for monthly / bi-monthly releases but man I love every issue so far.

it could also be the buyer up to some sort of shenanigans, did you check their feedback?

Yea they have perfect positive feedback over 1k so I don't think it's a scam. I suppose the only way to know for sure is accept the offer and see what happens. If ebay charges the wrong shipping I can ask the buyer for extra for shipping. If he refuses lesson learnt I guess. I have only begun selling as a long time hoarder and my first sale to the U.S.

Update: Accepted the offer and shipping was the correct amount based on the zip code, not the amount shown on the app's best offer received screen.

my experience is that the shipping portion is separate from any offer-- even if the person says something like "this offer is XX amount for the item shipped" in the accompanying message-- whatever you have set up as your shipping costs will be controlled by the shipping destination-- and the price in the offer is simply for the item without shipping consideration (unless you have it set for Free Shipping). 

So whatever they do regarding shipping location, the system SHOULD charge them accordingly.

However, I can't recall ever seeing the shipping stated on an offer though it has been a while since I had an offer to deal with.

Yea I am leaning towards the system pricing it based on destination but I just wish it would confirm that for me before I accept. Would not like to eat the costs and lose half the value of the offer. The shipping stated on the offer is only in the app as well, I don't see it on the desktop site. I wonder if it is just a programming oversight on the app and pulling from the listing using my current ip address.

Quick question regarding selling. If I receive an offer for a book and the buyer enters the location, does it guarantee they chose the right shipping option? I have two prices, one for domestic and one for U.S. and on the offer page it is showing the Canadian shipping cost and on the confirm offer page it is showing a US zip code as the location but doesn't display how much shipping they will pay. These screenshots explain my confusion. $5.99 is the domestic cost to Canadian buyers.

Why the heck is ASM 795 Hulk cover bringing $40?!? I'm pretty sure I'm going to dig the Red Goblin character, but this is just Carnage bonding with Osborne and a 1:1 variant.

I think people are assuming that Carnage merging with Osborn is the root creation/precursor of Red Goblin. It's also the first time they've merged, two super villains merging is cool in itself.

I'm not ordering this book however I have ordered from these guys in the past (Venom #1 Dell'Otto), so I will throw in my experience FWIW. This isn't a direct reply to anyone.

I ordered a set of the virgin Venom #1's a couple years ago from Frankie's. My order showed up a few weeks after most people and it had some damage to the virgin cover, it was probably an 8.5 / 9.0 at best iirc, might be off a bit it's been a while since I looked at it. The trade dress copies were NM. I didn't complain or ask for a refund since it was a PC book anyways. Them's the breaks I figured. Not even two weeks go by when another package shows up, this time from Simon Payne, all the way from the UK with a mint copy of the virgin cover. I couldn't believe it but it was marked as "gift" and I am guessing that people who they realized were shipped a less than NM copy of the virgin from the original preorder "available for sale" pile were put on a list for the backup copies. 

I don't speak to them or know the print runs or business practices.  But I will share this experience since it was a positive one and I will always commend good customer service above all else. That's just my experience from this group. Take it for what it's worth.

I get a much different result when I click on "most recent first" instead of highest price.

Apparently this is the stock Unseen 10 img for most of the internet. It's a pedigree copy in its own right now!

My personal favorite in the run. Beauty and the beater.

Comic folk get it. Non-comic people just don't get it. I gave up trying to explain stuff to "lay" people many years ago.

Guess I'm comic folk then!  My very last purchase of 2017 courtesy of Rick. My favorite pickup of the year as well.

It was between this, and the Hulk Annual.

Good call, I would have grabbed it as well if I hadn't made so many purchases since the holidays 

If the comic store bought them from the thief, and were left holding the bag, they don't get reimbursed when you get them returned. Sounds like hot potato.

I'm lazy so I just have Haunted horror on my monthly pull list. If I come across a story I need to own I know which book it's in 

edit:  Just noticed I hit my 666th post talking about PCH. Brutal 

Love the less than 60 second takes. Friday night lights eh boys

The featured characters appear together on the covers alone: inside they are separate features and they never interact.
Or almost never, I don’t recall if they crossed each other paths' in the few issues I have.

Ahh. Yea I was just talking about the cover / naming. They share FF for initials, the 4 head bubbles at the top of the cover, etc. Probably coincidence but still neat.

Never seen these before but have to wonder how much influence they played in the Fantastic Four.

Second four episodes are coming out later in the year focusing on Lego, Transformers, Hello Kitty, and Star Trek

 

Can't wait for the Transformers episode. The Masters of the Universe was my favorite from the first bunch.
