Ya Baby....but disappointed I did not hit a 9.8...

Looks like this could be a good starting point for finding some info: http://www.volstor.com/

 

The site looks a bit outdate, but the retailer page has some contact info that's worth trying.

 

BCW has a similar product: http://www.bcwsupplies.com/cat/comic-supplies/comic-accessory/comic-book-stor-folio-1-5-inch

 

These are great for travel. I own a few of these to carry books around when I go to cons.

Thanks

Dig it. So how do those Volster cases work? A binder? Digging on the idea.

 

Sturdy plastic boxes. Not sure if they are available in the U.S. although I think that BCW do something simiar

 

I took these a while ago for another UK boardie.

 

I printed the spines myself although I have seen a pretty epic display where someone had cut up an Alex Ross poster and re-assembled it in the volstors so that when they were all on a shelf the full picture could be seen.

 

 

 

 

 

Each case can hold about 30 books with bags and boards but I prefer 22 books with full-backs and Mylites2

Anyone know where I can find these cases. Would like to create the sam set-up. Please let me know

amazing piece what does this retail for???

I notified the other party I will be keeping the Action 23 with me. The other party (Not Quadman) agrees that would be best under the circumstances. I apologize to the board for any procedural errors, misconceptions or ill will towards any party involved.

I call bull on the above statement. How stupid do you think people around here are?

The book was on HOLD not SOLD. I placed it on HOLD to figure out if I wanted to sell it to a buyer out of the country and see what his ideas were. He wanted a third party and this was looking like more trouble than it was worth. As far as not knowing who he is no I don't. I mostly lurk as my post count will attest. I am not KAV and I am not going completing any 10,000 dollar transactions unless I feel comfortable with the buyer, terms, payment, shipping etc.

 

This was on HOLD to see what the potential buyer had to say. What he said was I live in another country, I would like a third party.

 

I'm sorry, you didn't handle this well and this clusterduster is the result.

 

When selling 10k books 'Usual Rules Apply' isn't clear enough as there are no agreed on selling rules. in thread wins would have been much easier.

 

Putting the book on hold was an honorable thing for you to do. You could have discussed the sale via pm and left the book for sale on the thread. Once you held the book for the pm buyer you should have continued to discuss his terms and ignored any action in your sales thread. If there was something about the terms - 3rd party etc - that was a problem you should have told the pm buyer the terms were unacceptable and the book was no longer on hold.

 

Yes, it's your book, you sold it to someone you trust, for your asking price, but did you really handle this well? And how would you feel if the situation was reversed?

 

And lastly, what real risk do you face when payment is via cheque or money order? All the risk is on the buyer and that's why he was asking about a 3rd party. You want a payment method that has the lowest fees but puts the buyer at risk yet you're unwilling to accommodate him.

Im not sure what to say here other than I will not be shipping any book to Quadman78. We can argue the semantics of "HOLD" but I am not letting a book go in a transaction that I don't feel comfortable with. I would require a check or MO but that does not negate any risk on my part. Apparently going forward I will have to put a wall of legalese in my posts.

 

Absolutely no doubt you are free to do what you want with your book, but can you not appreciate the enormous risk you were also asking Randy to make by asking for 10k with no buyer protection? Its not about legalese, you also have to sometimes look at things from the buyer's standpoint too.

 

The 3rd party option was actually the most logical of solutions and would have

 

balanced the risks equally between you, and indeed eliminated many.

Yeah.. I'd thought I would free up some cash for other purchases.
