Actually met Aragones at a book convention once. He was really nice. He had a sort of warmth to him as well. I don't usually get nervous around people, but this guy, I was shaking, when I talked...

He even got up from his chair to shake my hand, which was, to me, incredible.

I loved this guys work since I was like 8 or something.

Any reason for why it would be a mistake?

I would love to see the boxes too.

You know, I am actually trying to get drawer boxes, but I can't find them in Germany. Shipping from the US seems excessive due to restrictive shipping costs.

I don't even want to think about the German toll, which is not a ton of fun to deal with (a lot of waiting around for them to deal with you, mostly).

So if any Europeans out there could give me a tip on those, I would be greatful (not sure, how many Germans are here...)

Currently, I am looking for a nice closet / Drawer organizing system, which fits my budget, though...

I am currently switching to short boxes, which will make the carrying bit a lot easier.

I am reading a lot of great and creative answers here, so cheers for that :-)

Hi,

I am starting to finally organize the hoarders dream that is my comic collection. Until now, most of my stuff was packed into longboxes as I purchased it, which obviously is not practical when looking for back issues.

So now I want to dedocate boxes per Theme / Alpahbet. My problem is, that since I need to add to the titles monthly, I cant just fill up the boxes. So I was wondering, if you guys have any good tips on having placeholders in your longboxes?

Thanks for some advice

Is that an Emmy award I see on the bookshelf?

 

Yup - an Emmy, Clio and a Cannes Lion. In a previous life I was in advertising.

Now, I don't usually say this. But you sir are my hero. :Thumbsup:

Beacuse it's been described as Double Dragon vs. Naked Ninja Stripper-girls? :shrug:

;-)

So excited! Was in a comic store I don't frequent too much, looking for a few books. Grabbed what I needed and went to check out. Saw a Invincible 1 on display for sale. Asked to look it over and the thing is minty fresh.

I'm finally the proud owner of a Invincible 1! So stoked been looking for this book outside of eBay for a bit. Now I need to get it off to CGC!

 

Congrats!! (thumbs u

:thumbsup:

Congrats!

It's an amazing series. This is the first series where I actually went out to get all the #'s from #1 (which wasn't always easy). I intend to have the complete Invincible series as floppies...

Time for my evening rant:

 

What's the deal with people that bid prematurely on Ebay? There are aholes that go back and forth days before the end of an auction chizzeling each other. I'm used to the last minute snipes and wait until the 11th hour to start watching so I'm not just bidding up the item in question....

Some people just use no common sense.....why beat each other over the heads with the bidding only to let others know how much interest there is in the item and drive the price up needlessly?

Great for the seller, but it often looks like a contest between bidders.

Now I'm not talking about shillers because they have an obvious agenda...I'm talking about legitimate buyers....

I'll be damned if I put in a high bid days before or hours before only to start a bidding frenzy.

Doesn't anyone teach bidding etiquette anymore? Jeeze louise it's auction 101 people!

 

?? Isn't that generally how an auction works??

 

I mean, I usually put in a mid-range bid, see where it goes, and save my absolute max bids for the last couple minutes.

 

BUT, I mean, if it gets bid high early on, then why bother to keep looking at the item?? Once it's over-priced, just move on to another one.

 

Why would one continue to bid on an over-priced item, when there are others going for half the price??

 

The idea, i think is to not allow the aution to overheat, so that the item does not reach an over-priced level too soon...

 

True. Ya, I know what Access means, but like most should have sense that if it's gotten ridiculous, just find the item being sold by someone else. And I don't understand why people would let it get ridiculous. If you have a comic at auction for $300 and for $500, why stay on the more expensive one? Or even let it get to that?

I'm with you there. I find it strange sometimes how ppl can get into a bidding war for one item, that is listed for cheaper somewhere else.

I think it can be a spur of the moment thing, where you kind of loose your objectivity for a short while. clicking on a higher price is easier than looking for another item \(shrug\)

I've been using Tacos approach myself, but lately I have also found sniping to be very effective.

Can anyone tell me what a Walking dead #33 Blue Variant is going for atm? Thank you.

Depends on condition, but I would think a low end desirable copy is going to run at least $200.

Thanks Ryan,

it arrived today, at around 65 bucks. (50€) Looks ok, some slight creasing, and on small scuff on the cover... Looks like a reasonable deal.

Hi Guys, Could you tell me what TWD #33 Blue Variant is going for these days? Thank you. Cheers

Nice...

I'm just noticing this for the first time, but the scars actually spell out words... Did anybody else see this?

Just out of curiosity:

What would an Invincible Lot 0-50, with #1 being cgc 9,6 be worth to you guys?

the rest raw, ranging in the 9,0-9,8 area.

Was cool to deal with, and the comics arrived in pristine shape. Cheers for everything!
