  1. Thanks. That makes sense. How do you go about shipping runs that are in the 100s of books? That Fables run is 149 issues of Fables, plus I was thinking of including Jack of Fables and some of the other associated mini-series. All told it's a little over 200 books, which seems difficult shipping wise.
  2. Hoping this is the right place for this... I've got a bunch of books I'm planning to list and I'm wondering what the general consensus (if there is one) about whether Buy It Now or auction listings are the better bet these days. Part of my listing will be some slabs I should be getting back this week. A few 9.8s (Saga 1, Daredevil 25 (2021), Captain America 1 (2005)), some 9.6s (Invincible 44, Captain America 6 (2005), Fear Agent 1 (might just hold that one, actually), Afterlife With Archie 666, Alias 1, Marvel Team-Up 14) and, unfortunately, a 9.2 (Captain America 25 (2014)) and a 9.0 (All-New Captain America 1). I'm going to look at those last two to see whether it seems worth pressing either of them to see if I can get a decent grade bump, especially the Cap 25. (Also, there were no Grader's Notes. Does that only happen sometimes?) The rest of my planned listings will be runs of a variety of books. An almost complete Fables collection. The last 60 or so issues of TWD. Invincible from 31 to the end. And a handful of other things that aren't especially exciting, but that I'm hoping will sell because my other auctions might get people to look at my other items and grab them. My thinking for the lots is to list them as Buy It Nows with best offer and just hope for the best. The question there is whether it's better to break them up into smaller chunks (runs of 10-20?) or to sell them as complete runs (and if I do that, how do I deal with shipping?). For the slabs, I'm more undecided. Does the return tend to be better on auctions or buy it nows? I was also thinking about posting them here, but as a fairly new poster to the forums, I wasn't sure what the rules were about who can post sales. Anyway, I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts about all of this. Thanks!
