  1. I dont know about the "cool" factor but yeah I understand the "safe" notion From a buyer standpoint, if a seller has a reserve on an item, I wont waste my time. Just have a BIN for the price you're looking for or even a Best Offer. But hey thats my GLWTS
  2. Setting reserves on auctions? I stay far away from those.
  3. I'm not an authority on OA (at all), but it seems the artist is (1) trying to get the $$$ that would be had (potentially) on the secondary market, (2) not eager to sell, (3) has a lot of faith in the titles future value, and (4) a combination of the above. Spot on!
  4. WOW Am all for an increase but I feel this is appropriate i love that meme!
  5. Woahh... Slow down cowboy. Didn't notice, too busy starring at my Revival #6 and Think Tank Military Dossier (vanity variant) covers. You know there's plenty of men's magazines that might get your attention.. or you can always ask that old board member who used his gf to pose with the TWD Slabs.....
  6. I dont think these things sold considering there's no info about the buyer and the fact that the seller relisted the second one at a higher price...
  7. I just bought 1000 WildC.a.t.s #1 time for these to skyrocket!
  8. I wouldnt agree with banning them, because honestly I believe I have done them the right way. I have so many prizes above the 50 asking price per box (other 10 is shipping), if you look at modern prices around here the prizes I have thrown in above value of a box alone are : Saga 1-7 NM+ Revival 1-6 NM+, Manhattan projects 1 NM+, I have 4 sets of Nowhere men 1 and 2 NM+, 2 SS books 9.4 and 9.6, a 9.6 modern batman variant, a 9.8 ASM 692 9.8 fan expo varaint ($200 book), and many more prizes which I sure I am forgetting off the top of my head. I have several other books in each box I have thrown in on top of what is pictured, about 100 ASM books from 100-300 have been added to peoples boxes as well, including an ASM 239 MG, and an ASM 194 MG. So if a person is unfortinate not to get a big prize as shown above there are smaller books which are FMV for them add up to approximnately $50. I am not looking to dump any crappy books in the thread. I think it speaks volumes to the prizes I am giving out that 7 boxes in my 2nd round were sold to people who purchased boxes in the first. If there is any better way I could be handling these threads for mystery boxes, please let me know. I bought a mystery box from Venom and I must admit, It was a great transaction Mystery boxes are exactly that, a mystery. It's an automatic buyer beware but as a buyer you gotta make sure you do your homework from whom you're buying from. If you want to make a noob mistake and buy from someone that's barely been on the boards for like 5 mins, well than thats on you. Trying to impose a ban on mystery boxes without even trying them is a head scratcher for me. Yeah I understand that the forums are looking for the best interest of the people and making sure that transaction go smoothly but it's like parenting your kids: you can only tell/warn them so much but in the end, you gotta trust them and hope for the best.
  9. just listed a bunch of moderns that are heating up on that one site and i must admit, i love the notification noise my phone gets. Instant joy when my phone goes off.
