  1. The official studio synopsis from IMDB:

    Biochemist Dr. Hank Pym uses his latest discovery, a group of subatomic particles, to create a size-altering formula. Though his first self-test goes awry, he develops an instrument that helps him communicate with and control insects.

     

    Ah-ha

     

    Well that'll do it!

  2. Anyone know what days CGC will be closed next week for Christmas? I have a order about to ship any day so I was wondering how that would impact it.

     

    I asked them on Facebook:

     

    CGC Comics 12/25 and 1/1/14 - otherwise we are here for you!! Have a great holiday!

     

     

    Wow that sucks for employees. Planning on loading up on some moderns after the new year before the Con season starts

     

    Sucks for employees? They are off weekends already. I don't understand (shrug)

    Once again, the man comes through!! Ryan, you rock. Thanks :headbang:

  4. In my opinion, you can file a paypal claim, but do your research before you buy. Sorry to not sympathize more. Always contact the seller first though.

     

    I love that you somehow translated that original post and knew what he was saying. This response was shockingly on point

     

    I +1 this advice. It took me much longer than one post to catch up though. I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm :insane:

  5. Definite shill. High bidder has 100% activity with person selling book. doh!

     

    How do you find that information? I've always been curious to check listings I'm bidding on if I'm up against 1 other person.

     

    Thanks

     

    click the # of bids, then click on the other bidders. You will see the winning bidder has 100% bid history with them.

     

    Ok- so this lead bidder "o***e" has 100% activity with the seller. An obvious shill.

     

    That's sad, man.

    Q. Control 12/5

     

    That's crazy!! I have a modern FT received 10/31 still in QC. Good for you!! Congrats (thumbs u

     

    You really do have my sympathy. Waiting is awful. I suggest you call up to "inquire" about the status of your invoice. I don't know for sure it helps - but I think sometimes it does.

     

    I have so many damn invoices in at the moment!! It's no skin, I'm sure that one will ship in the next few days. I'm more concerned for my big books coming economy fast track which may as well be coming via carrier pigeon these days! Of course I pick their worst ToT spell in a while to have so many go through.

     

    Good advice either way!

     

     

  8. 6 people said "no" so far on the poll.

     

    Question for the 5 of you that aren't solarcadet - we have all explained why we think he should be on the list, why do you think he shouldn't be?

     

     

     

    -slym (18 "yes" votes!) (thumbs u

     

    24:8, yes/no - does solarcadet have 7 shills here? There is no reason to be afraid to speak your mind here...

     

    :devil:

     

     

     

    -slym

     

     

    If we figure out how many people on here have foreign variants to sell we might be able to predict the "NO" votes more accurately.

    So now the perception is that if someone buys/sells foreign editions they're a bad person? ???

  9. Absolutely top notch seller. Mike responded to MY WTB thread and ended up selling me 7 books in total that I was looking for all at a GREAT price. To top it off, he grades conservatively. And the shipping! Perfect perfect perfect! I could not ask for a better transaction as a buyer.

     

    He WILL be seeing my $$$ again soon

  10. how is this cool on this thread....
    Agreed, about mycomicshop at least. The auctions always go way higher than you can get elsewhere. I always wondered why. Not too familiar with Mile High though, haven't really heard anything goood about them, only bad, so I have kept my distance and looked elsewhere

     

    Can someone PM with mycomicshop auction advice for sellers? I'm not sure the process/fees/etc

     

    I agree 100% regarding BIN being the way to go on eBay. I throw in a best offer most times because I tricked myself into thinking that more people look at BIN/obos than straight BINs even though I have zero factual evidence

     

    Brad, you can PM me, or call me at 512-240-2802 if you have any questions. There's a lot of info here: mycomicshop consignment info

     

    Fees are:

    10% for sales up to $300, minimum $5 per item

    8% for sales $300-3000

    6% sales over $3000

     

    No listing fees or any other costs to you.

     

    You can list either as fixed price or in our monthly auction. Commissions are the same for both formats. If fixed price, you control your pricing. Items you list as fixed price are listed simultaneously on our web site and our eBay store. The eBay listings are free to you--we cover the listing fees, and we bump the eBay price up just enough to cancel out the final value fee if it sells on eBay.

     

    We only do auctions on our own site, none on eBay. Auctions are indeed riskier than fixed price, but in general stuff in our auctions gets a strong percentage of market price/GPA/retail compared to other auction venues. As others have noted, we have a sizable customer base of buyers that use us but don't look at eBay very often, so sometimes auction prices on our site can go higher than on eBay. Raw books do well through us, because buyers know us and like our grading, versus you listing them yourself on eBay, where buyers tend to distrust the grading from unknown eBay sellers.

     

    The process is:

    - You enter the books you want to consign on our web site (our web site tells you which are eligible for consignment based on expected value)

    - You start a new consignment transaction and ship us the books.

    - We scan everything, grade any raw books, and file them to inventory.

    - As soon as they're filed, we email you. You then use a page on our web site to set prices or assign to auction. You can later change prices, or shift a fixed price book into the next auction, at any time.

    - We issue payment for most books within about 10 days of the sale, and can either mail you a check or pay via PayPal.

     

     

     

    I do not think it's cool for you to advertise your service on this thread

     

    I don't see it that way. I see it answering a question in a professional way. To be honest, I have been thinking of consigning some books to them so I appreciate the response.

     

    Seriously, the petty stuff people get upset with is really mind boggling.

     

    I'm not sure what made them mad about this...it wasn't an unwarranted pimping of the service. (shrug)

    Couldn't appreciate the response more. I will absolutely at least give the service a trial run. Thank you!!!!
