With C2E2 just around the corner, I'm looking to raise some funds. Let's resurrect this thread. To try to keep things simple, Rounds 1 through 4 are CLOSED. Round 5 and 6 are re-opened at 40% off for 3 Days Only. Below is a recap. Take 40% off the listed price.

Shipping is a flat rate $6.75 to the US. International shipping at cost. Thread permanently closes in 3 days on Monday night. At that point, I'll likely run a C2E2 sales thread (remaining 2019 stock + the NEW 2020 EXCLUSIVES). Any books that remain unsold in this thread go back into my personal collection.

I bought over 60lbs worth of comics in a large lot. Everything was well packed, and the books were all in great shape (just as described). With a handful of extras included in the lot, combined with great communication throughout, this was a positive and smooth transaction. Thanks again!

That's a sharp looking copy. If you were planning on getting it graded, then I'm guessing most of that will easily press out. Then again, you could always keep it raw and just wait until the next copy comes along, then reassess what you want to do.

Not a bad price for that book. Personally, I would wait, as you're bound to come across a copy eventually at a much better price. For example, I had this book on my watch list for about a year and picked one up, albeit a copy in Fine condition, at a cost basis of $8.52. Consider this... buy the book now. Keep looking for another copy. When you find one for cheaper and/or in better condition, sell this one at cost.

This game is figuratively over. $125 for the Wolverine lot.

My Post Office has made mention of it in the past. Sometimes they don't care. Technically you shouldn't be using the Flat Rate Envelope rate for Legal Flat Rate Envelope postage. It's unfortunate that PayPal doesn't offer this as one of their options. (My guess is that they could, but they've chosen to simplify the offerings.) Shipping out of eBay is no problem, as they have the separate Legal sized option. When I sell something outside of eBay and use the Legal Envelope, I usually just create my postage out of usps.com so there are no issues.

I like reporting on these, as I find it nice to be able to share accurate information. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it to my local Walmart when this past wave hit. By the time I took photos of the comics (on Jan 17th), I was already at least a week late for them sitting on the shelves. Usually this wouldn't be an issue, as these comics tend to collect dust at my local Walmart. For instance, the majority of the November wave of books are still sitting there untouched. However, this round was already sold out of both Spidey books. (Someone is either speculating or really likes Spider-man). So, I won't be able to report on those two books with firsthand knowledge. Also, my quantities this time around are a minimum, as a couple of the other comics likely sold a copy or two before I got there. What I find interesting this round is the commitment to the mutant books. Four of the eight books are X-Men related. To round things out, (arguably) three Spidey titles and one Avengers. Looks like this Fox acquisition has reinvigorated the marketing push for X-Books. Just like most waves, I picked up a total of ZERO of these comics. Qty - Title 2 - Avengers #27 1 - Excalibur #1 2 - New Mutants #1 2 - Scream: Curse of Carnage #1 1 - X-Force #1 3 - X-Men #1 ? - Amazing Spider-man #33 ? - Symbiote Spider-man: Alien Reality #1

I've been following this thread since it started and have no idea why it hasn't blown up yet. We're looking at most of the ingredients to become a classic: 1 Dash of a Mildly-Hot Modern 5 Cups Variant/Error Claim 3 Tablespoons of Boardie Input/Assistance 10lbs of Snark (half to be carefully tenderized by edited posts) Simmered on a Thursday, but baked through one Friday already... Liberally add in more snark for additional flavor. I guess all that's missing is a pinch of Tree-Fiddy's and a few claims of Pernts... then maybe a splash of recent, non-topical political banter. Throw this into Comics General and we're sure to have a

Great! Always happy to pop into one of your sales threads.

If I'm not mistaken, a reholder will retain the grade no matter what (assuming no major damage to the holder). That is what the OP signed up for, but the LCS submitted the book for a crack + press. There is no guarantee that the book will come back with the same grade with a crack + press.

Cheers Ben - and it also explains why the stickers look so damn official! If this is proven to be true, that distributors themselves would supply the stickers, should those issues be included in the official listing? Thoughts?

Yeah, I track the X-Men's and Hulk 8 everyday. I have multiples of many, but the only one I'm missing is the #96 $2.49 variant. I've only ever seen one listed on eBay, and YOU swooped in and grabbed it before I even thought to message the seller. With that said, I have multiple copies of a couple of these, so I'm always open to a trade if anyone has that X-Men book and is willing to part with it.

This was the $2.49 variant I won about a month back. It's a 9.2-9.4, so I'm pretty happy. As I've noted before, I only track the X-Mens and this Hulk. Slim pickings over the last six months, as practically NO X-Mens have hit the market. In fact, I'm glad I found my #93s when I did, as I haven't seen any price variants of that issue for about 2 years.

Also, just to address a couple other things that have been brought up previously... On the rare occasion that I purchase these, I keep all of these in the shrinkwrap. Eventually, when I'm ready to sell, if the buyer wants to crack open the pack, that's completely up to them. However, if I've already opened it up, I've lost interest from the niche group of collectors that would prefer to purchase them sealed. I'm not worried about condition so much. The books will go immediately into new bags and boards, then into a longbox (never to be seen again), so the condition I buy them at the store will generally be the condition that they remain. Will the plastic shrink wrap damage the books due to chemical reactions more than if I took them out and put them in mylars... SURE... but that's such a minor concern for me that it doesn't change my stance to keep them sealed. I know other people have already responded, but just to clarify... for the initial wave of these variants, only WalMart Superstores carried the comics. They may have since expanded to all WalMart stores, but I haven't heard anything and kind of doubt that's the case. If your WalMart does carry these comics, they will generally be in Aisle 1 next to the sports/Magic/Pokemon cards. This is also where you'll find the DC variants that are of the same flavor. I forgot to post about this, but as of August 12th, my local WalMart was carrying the Marvel "7 for $10" packs. I only saw two packs total, which are shown below. As of today (November 6th), the Daredevil pack is still unsold. The Moon Knight pack probably sat there for a couple months before someone finally picked it up.

So I stopped by the local WalMart tonight again to fill up some water and took some additional photos of the rest of the new wave of books. I'm going to list out the quantities that were available as well. However, since these seem to have been out about a week now, I'm not sure if any of the issues have sold. Part of me assumes they have, but part of me questions why some of the books would sell whereas there are Spidey issues just sitting there for the taking. Outside of the Iron Man issue, each of these variants are #1. Just like the last wave, this set seems to have eight different variants. Unlike ALL previous WalMart editions, NONE of these have barcodes on the front cover. For anyone that bought a pack (looking at you @mr_highgrade), is there a barcode on the back cover? I'd have to check, but the lack of barcode on the front cover may be the differentiating factor on a number of these variants. For example, take a look at Strikeforce #1 (regular editions have a barcode, the WalMart variant does not have the barcode.) 2x Ghost Rider #1 2x Tony Stark: Iron Man #16 1x Jane Foster: Valkyrie #1 2x King Thor #1 3x Spider-man #1 3x Spider-verse #1 3x Star Wars: Allegiance #1 1x Strikeforce #1 Just like last time, I didn't pick any of these up. I think it's a good idea to keep up with documenting these things. This thread is a valuable resource for everyone. If anyone has any additional information on the quantities available in their stores, feel free to add some input. Below are some pics.

I'm assuming that all of these, except for the Ghost Rider #1 are just the random comics that came packed with the Walmart variant.

These are definitely Marvel Legends reprints. MyComicShop does a good job of documenting where these came from. UXM 133 - Marvel Legends Series III Wolverine UXM 213 - Marvel Legends Series VI Wolverine Cable 73 - Marvel Legends Series VI Cable X-Men 3 - Marvel Legends Series IV Beast Below is a pic I lifted off eBay to give you an idea of how these things were packaged up:

This is awesome! Also, they look like sisters in that photo.

Can you believe I've been waiting almost a week for someone to reference this gem?

Someone else made a topic very similar to this one a few weeks back. There's some good info in that thread as well regarding the pros and cons.

It's really nice to see this thread pick up a little bit of steam again!

No They can Like if there is a delay in paying ect I think it's pretty common knowledge at this point, but to be clear and to provide accurate information... Buyers CANNOT receive negative feedback. If a buyer doesn't pay, the seller can file a non-paying bidder strike against them, but only eBay sees those. Supposedly, after three strikes in a year, the buyer is kicked off the platform. However, since there is no transparency, and since the buyers can easily appeal any strike, I don't think many people ever get reprimanded. With all that said, buyers can pretty much do whatever they want without any consequences.

The OP also stated that he had issued the return shipping label before realizing that it was issued to the old address. At that point it was too late to issue a different label with his correct address.
