I'm pretty confident those were reorders that had just arrived in his store. He never said anything about holding copies back from customers. Larry on the boards is a lot like Eric the Midget on Twitter. Sure he's probably not a racist or homophobe but by acknowledging you guys it doesn't really help his case. Now can we please talk about this new Comic Book Men comic that I just picked up four copies of? Thanx My one pre-order copy of #1 was bent up and wrinkled.

Si. hahaha.

Haha ya ya sure sure. Surprised Duke hasn't beet you yet, with the 5 back to back replies in each thread. Hahaha. The method to my madness is that I'll read from where I left off last time, and reply to posts as I read them. This is usually in the morning. It's the worst when I haven't touched a computer in a few days.

I hate that kind of move.

The thing is, no one is (hopefully not) forcing anyone to own a business. You choose to open or buy a business and run it. You a) didn't have to get into it in the first place, or b) could try to change careers (not always easy) if you're not happy. Plus, society and business practices evolve over time. You shouldn't be mad at another busines/person for using a laser printer instead of a Gutenburg printing press, or having prices that are better than yours. Or what if someone runs his or her business on an iPad vs a 486 computer? Look at the rent thing the owner of the car place brought up. Would he be mad at a dealer whose business was in the suburbs and paying half the rent as a downtown dealer? Would he happily pay the same rent as a downtown dealer if he were in the suburbs and was asked to? Also, he has to realize, ya, the person is making money from home buying and selling cars, but how many at a time??? I could store MAYBE 2 cars at my house to sell. Maybe a couple more in the summer. And yes, the person doesn't pay for advertising....but......the person doesn't GET advertising. Well said. :banana:Thanks.

Isn't this kind of like insider trading? No. They aren't privy to some sort of info on it that we aren't. It's like Nike releasing a shoe then uping the price (did they?) when demand outweighs supply. Or selling their own product that they created, when it's hot. Regardless, there's no laws regulating comic selling for more than cover. Even if Hickman or Vaughn know their stuff is going to be ultra-hot, or they know the print run will be low, and they keep 1,000 copies to sell at a high price, they can do that. I was partially kidding around.. Isn't the book getting a bump because they pumped it up on the show? I sort of figured. haha. I guess that was a tad too serious. And yes. Only reason I ordered it. Kind of cool to read something like that from a show (well, until you actually read it. Then, it ain't so cool.....).

..........or racist comments in some cases. Did you take your methylphenidate yet today? I did this morning, 54 mg of it. So either you're just randomly making stuff up, and coincidently were correct. Or, you've been stalking me, or illegally accessing my medical records, in which case, I would stop that immediatley.

You mean like you advertise your eBay auctions in your sig line every time you post? Someone asked a question about Lonestar's auctions and Lonestar gave them the answer - nothing wrong with that. Why is advertising eBay auctions here bad? Honest question. I've seen people mention this before, and have wondered what the deal was? Because there are separate forums for sales. If it were allowed here, 99% of the posts would be annoying spam. Got ya. I guess I've never seen it flooded with that, so wondered why everyone jumped on everyone else who posted an eBay add. Makes sense.

There's 16!! 9.9's on the census??? Really?!?!?! I saw one in person at NYCC. It looked like a 9.4-9.6 to me.. So maybe the standards are lower for WD #1 Or maybe you just can't grade :shrug: CGC doesn't screw around when it comes to giving out 9.9s - you are never going to see a 9.4/9.6 book in a 9.9 holder. I can grade enough to know that a 9.9 shouldn't have a spine tick and blunted corners There are no blunted corners in the photo of the 9.9 :shrug: .....but there were in the one he saw in New York.

With Marvel and DC superheroes, there's only so many different stories you can tel, while playing within the company/censorship rules. With dead POPULAR/irreplaceable/iconic characters, there's only so much time that can elapse before either the fans or the company wants them back.

I am missing why Cryptozoic Man is hot. I bought the first issue and thought it was terrible. You would be correct accessing that the material is god awful. You would be dead balls wrong passing on it as a short term speculative play. I am missing why Cryptozoic Man is hot. I bought the first issue and thought it was terrible. I am missing why Cryptozoic Man is hot. I bought the first issue and thought it was terrible. You would be correct in your assessment of the content. You would be dead balls wrong to have passed on this pop culture pap as a short term speculative play. Last night The mid-season finale of AMC's The Walking Dead capped the first half of season four and posted gains of 29% over the first half of season 3, running against NFL football, broadcast sweeps and high-profile special events. Last night's explosive episode delivered 12.1 million viewers and 7.7 million adults 18-49. Side note: That was a pretty exciting game yesterday.

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. (thumbs u (thumbs u

I'm very surprised by the Cryptozoic Man. It has to be the show, right ? (thumbs u (thumbs u

Cryptozoic #1 was pretty goofy/melo-dramatic. Not that great of a read. Hopefully 2-4 end up making the full series good.

I do not think it's cool for you to advertise your service on this thread I don't know how cool it is but I'm happy to see anybody make an attempt to compete with ebay. The fees are close but there appears to be a lot less time involved in dealing with MCS. The thread title advertises ebay so I see no harm in pointing out something that might be helpful to us. One question about this, who, then pays the shipping cost to the buyer, the seller, or comicbookauctions?

I agree as well. Why is this a problem?

Is Archie on fire or what? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Afterlife-with-Archie-1-all-3-Variants-Life-with-Archie-23-Francavilla-/301024445265?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item4616748351 Wow wow wow !!! That is scorching hot (thumbs u Hope the shop here still has piles of these. Hate how it's the one that's most out of the way.

Sweet! I thought getting the 3rd claw for $29.99 was a steal. I stand corrected. Thanks! Trust me, I kept looking at it thinking to myself this can't be right. I kept trying to tell myself that it wasn't two claws. THERE....ARE....THREEEEE.....CLAAAWWWWSSS!!!
