  1. There were other options and I thought it was a bit cheap as well so I'll see what they tell me. When you're doing any calculation you should keep your common sense radar working. That radar is based on past experience. You've sold enough books to know $11 won't work. It's costing me a minimum of $15 to ship a package anywhere in Canada or the US. That's a raw book in a relatively small box without tracking or insurance. A slab properly packaged-double boxed - is minimum $25 in Canada or US. UK? Won't be cheap. Yeah I'm going to get the quote soon because I'm curious as well. An 18x12x6 (a box I ship my slabs in) weighing 1 kilogram from the GTA is $144.84 CDN via expresspost (the only option with a signature confirmation) or $107 US. Jim That's the thing I'm doing the cheapest way so we'll see what happens.
  2. He doesn't want insurance just a signature confirmation
  3. I quoted him 10 for shipping and said I would cover the rest
  4. I bought it for 108 USD I sold it for 220 USD Even with shipping you should make a decent profit. Nice going!! Thanks I just want to confirm what the postal code is with him before I get the quote just to make sure

  6. And now with a sig required, he needs to send express post. That doubles or triples the shipping cost doesn't it? Jim Yes it increases cost significantly. Agreed but with the weak dollar it will equal out

  9. I put the postal code and numbers into canada post and got a quote and he doesn't want insurance on it.
  10. How'd you do on the restored #189? Not sure I'll let you know on Monday It's sold, but you don't know how you did? And he doesn't even have a holiday in Canada to explain the delay! The person that purchased it is in the UK and the shipping quote came to 11 dollars but he wanted a sig so I want to see how much that will cost since I said I would cover it.
  11. How'd you do on the restored #189? Not sure I'll let you know on Monday It's sold, but you don't know how you did? I need to get the exact shipping quote then I'll know.

  13. Is that a $15 profit after all fees etc? Just another word of advice...spending $115 to net $15 is not the best business model, especially when you don't deal in volume Yes and that's because I wanted a quick sale today, I also hope to sell my IH 180 today as well. So willing to sell it for $200 to make a few $ quick today...or a case of Xforce 1s? No sticking to 275 but thanks

  15. Comics sold Immortal Iron Fist 17 CGC 9.8 $130 Batman 189 CGC 7.0 Restored
  16. Good question. I was thinking of listing locally or on FB to see what happens as locally there aren't many good comics for sale in my area and on FB they like to haggle.
  17. That was harder to do then I thought but I do have some comics I know I want to sell in 30-45 days if possible. IH 180 CGC 5.0 SS FF 53 CGC 7.0 Immortal Ion Fist 17 CGC 9.8 It's not supposed to be super easy. There is a reason to it. Would be awesome to include buy prices and your realistic sell price too. IH 180 CGC 5.0 SS Paid $191 Want to sell for $300 FF 53 CGC 7.0 Paid $135 Want to sell for $150-175 Immortal Ion Fist 17 CGC 9.8 Paid $115 Want to sell for $150-180
  18. I'm not good with sarcasm but I answer almost every post except for trolling
  19. Thor 344 would I don't see anything happening with X-men 141 other then it being a key issue He was being sarcastic. Neither book is considered hot or really a book you should be buying at near the going rate if you want to make a profit. Ah ok I already bought a cheap copy of Thor 344 and you have a point.
  20. Yeah, it's like he was attacked by a bear mid-post. Or there was an earthquake or alien abduction. I've been worried all morning. Maybe he fell asleep?
  21. Thor 344 would I don't see anything happening with X-men 141 other then it being a key issue
  22. Yeah you have a point there and I forgot about that so my focus would have to be short term unless I buy something really cheap
