    Yeah I don’t even bother with heritage right now… books consistently going for 20+% over prices of same books on other auction sites. Especially while the promise collection is running, seems like a lot of deep pockets just throwing in bids on random other books in between promise collection auctions. 

    So, if I'm a seller right now, I should go with HA?  I'd have to do the math to see how it would come out after the buyers and sellers premium.

    This example is my I have insurance on my collection through Collectibles Insurance Services (https://collectinsure.com/). As long as I ship a package with signature required through USPS or FedEx, they will take care of you when damage occurs. Fortunately, I have never had to file a claim. I am sure there are others that have been helped by this company.

    This is correct.  It is kind of funny that UPS is conspicuously left off the list.

    Generally no. They assign a value to the damage done and give you that, assuming it was insured for enough.  

     

    For example: I had a JIM 83 get damaged during shipping because Desert Wind Comics is run by people who know nothing about how to handle comics (mailed it to me in a freaking envelope). One of the corners was torn off of the book and USPS sent me a check for a whopping $200

    Question- Why did USPS pay you, the receiver, instead of the sender, who purchased the insurance?

  4. Payments are made through Paypal, so they are not in the middle of it.  Actually a good idea for them not to have payments passing through their hands.  It makes it much cleaner and easier on their side.

    That is, if everybody follow the rules.
