Yea that is a good point.....im not worried about fomo but worried if i dont get a copy now for my own collection, the prices will be too ridiculous for me to own one. Isn't that kind of the definition of Fear of Missing Out?

Yep: I did open some type of request and nada. Last night I opened yet another type of request (I don’t know the exact difference for the two as they both are for missing/lost mail). I understand the USPS worker and overtime shortage; I know packages and mail will take longer. I don’t understand how not having overtime completely loses/misplaces a package for weeks.

I didn’t include this info in my post: I did not ship comics I sold. I shipped my own comics to get pressed.

All right USPS experts, I shipped a Flat Rate Priority box of 30 comics which has been stale since 7/27. I am about to file a claim to recoup some of my costs via insurance. Considering these were comics purchased over the course of years, what do I do for this step (via https://www.usps.com/help/claims.htm#) in order to get paid? (Not to mention they have no idea what is in the box to begin with, so not sure how, if I magically come up with 30 receipts, they know that is what is in there.) Proof of Value Proof of value is the cost or value of an item when it was mailed. Any of these can be used to show proof of value: Sales receipt Paid invoice or paid bill of sale Statement of value and/or estimates of repair costs from a reputable dealer Credit card billing statement Receipt of costs incurred for reconstruction of non-negotiable documents Printouts of the online transaction identifying the purchaser and seller, price paid, date of transaction, description of item purchased, and assurance that the transaction status is completed

I was quoting a movie line from a comedy...and I actually think theyre awesome and have superhuman strength. Perfect. While you're here, could you tell us who you think excels the most at sports and why?

Holy this board censors the word for mentally handicapped people. What a bunch of snowflakes. “Never go full I am Sam!” Glad you found that Sam loophole, I see you like to use it a lot. And snowflake, very cool. You’re a fun person. I wouldn’t be upset if you went to another forum where you could use whatever words you want.

Is it on RallyRd yet?

Same. What I would do in this situation is fly in some of my boys from way back. We’d set up a perimeter out front, say 20 feet, erect a high-grade fence, and start digging trenches. A couple lads would pile sandbags af the back entrance and position proxies near the indie longboxes (just in case). The rest of the crew would be across the street, on the second floor above the salad restaurant, with scopes (wink). They’d never make it to the fatal funnel. Haha. Beers on me.

This thread brings “internet tough guys” to a whole new level.

So people buy the 2nd print and then hope Marvel doesn't release a 3rd print (or 4th) as, then, that becomes the "lowest print run" version of the comic? Sounds fun.

Yep. Can turn random 3rd prints and first appearances of one-hit villains into Hulk 181 pretty easily.

I’m well aware of that particular thread. If you were you’d know recommending it is hilarious. As I post nearly all my modern newsstands in there. You should give it a look see. I wasn’t trying to take away from anyones books, which I’d love to have in my collection. Beautiful copies and a relatively low print run. Add in the first appearance of a up and coming female Latina super hero. Great cover as well. I was only commenting on this thread about preferring newsstand editions of those because key modern newsstands are selling for record prices. If given a choice I’m sure you’d prefer they were newsstands as well. Whether your neutral, for or against them they’re on FIRE!! Yep, I see you post random newsstands there all the time; that is why I was so surprised you didn't know about it.

Our deepest apologies; here is the place you should then look to be impressed:

Looking for answers to this as I, admittedly, am coming at this one-sided. Why are we asked to pay the USPS for insurance to deliver our packages? Delivering mail is, essentially, its main job. When I go to get an oil change they don't ask me if I want insurance in case they break my car. When I go out to eat, the restaurant doesn't ask if I would like to purchase insurance in the event they undercook my food and I get sick. (I may not have this all correct) Doctors, etc have insurance in case they mess something up; they pay for that, the patient doesn't (though it may be baked in to the cost of a procedure a bit).

Yeah, looks right (for EBay land). The method is what I usually see. The odd thing here is that the order, with shipping, is $22.50 for 3 items, easily divisible by 3 to get $7.50 each. But they have 7.49, 7.49 and 7.52. And they wonder why we don't like to trust eBay with our finances. Trusting a company -- who repeatedly changes policies (usually in a negative way for the seller) and offers vague information about said changes -- with our finances, banking information, and personal info is but a small hurdle.

@englishsuitcase Paging Kevin.

Yes, I did forget to mention those very low hurdles. They were so insignificant - that's why I forgot. It's not a big deal, a bit annoying. A quick adjustment and it's in the rear view. And before, if you wanted your sales proceeds to end up IN your bank account, you had to wait anyway for the PayPal transfer. You're a real special guy, aren't you? Sorry other people's problems are very low hurdles to you, when, in actuality, for those other people, they may be large hurdles. Keep on thinking about ol' #1.

You forgot the part where you can no longer have sales deposited directly into PayPal (if that was your original method) and now must provide eBay with a bank account #. Also, at least when using PayPal, the time for money to show up was instantly, so "a couple of days longer" is quite a bit longer, especially if you have to ship before the money arrives for the item.

This happened to me in April as well, on two packages insured for $500+ each. I opened a case with USPS and both items were located and started moving within a couple days and arrived unharmed and intact. I just opened a case yesterday for my uninsured package; I already received an “initial contact” phone call but this agent did not sound very confident. I don’t know if that’s the usual attitude on cases or a recent development.

Sent Priority to California. Dropped off at PO on 7/27. Arrived at local Distro center 7/31. Radio silence since then. Of course this is a package of 30 comics I was hoping to get graded versus 1 comic I sold on eBay for $20.

What’s the deal with this?

TMNT #1 2nd CGC 8.5 --> $1675 Wow; I sold a 2nd print 9.0 in April for $1000 and thought I was doing well.
