A market crash will see the value of comics drop as people lose jobs and have to liquidate their books to make ends meet. (e.g. 2008-2009) This past week is a correction, not a crash. Comic sales may slow as people are on the sidelines waiting to see how things play out. I don't anticipate this week's stock market dip to trickle into comic book values

does MCS offer any press/clean option prior to slabbing?

Newest power seller

I like using MCS and I do use them to sell slabbed books. Or, I now just directly sell them common/non-key raws MCS does well because of their reputation.. OP asked for honest feedback... I’ve sent common/non-key raw books and they under graded them. I consider myself a decent grader. My point is, I’m not sure an under graded high value raw would sell for top dollar. As a seller, I would do what yields the highest return. I get my better books slabbed, which is what I’d advise the OP to do. I’m only speaking from my experience. I’ve consigned quite a few slabbed books, ranging from high value to some in the $100 range, and it worked out well.

I disagree. As a seller, I'd rather a 5.5 be called a 5.5 vs. The unwritten assumption that a 4.5 is really a 5.5, but there’s no real guarantee it is. Most people can’t grade accurately enough, so I won’t bank on a buyer looking at scans.

I agree. Sell those books slabbed

Hi MCS. What I meant by "don't consign high value (raw) keys" is simply that MCS grades very tough. A book that might be FN/FN-, might be VG+ to MCS. When going to resell high value books, we all know that the difference between even 0.5 can sometimes be several hundreds of dollars. If a seller choses to list a high value raw for sale, they might have better luck consigning with a dealer who will sell a FN as a FN or FN- There's always eBay, but that's rolling the dice as we all know. However, I would never consign a high value raw in the first place; never have. As you suggested, get those keys graded/slabbed prior to selling. it's great that MCS can get books graded by CGC for the consignor. I didn't know that In my opinion, MCS is great for selling fairly common/non-key raws and great for selling slabs of any value. Commission rates are great for books valued over $300 and the standard 10% for under $300.

I've consigned both raw and slabbed books. Very happy on both fronts. The slabs sold fairly quickly (however, I did price them fairly). I like that you have control over the list price. MCS pays promptly as well. The raw books I sold weren't key issues and so I was happy to offload them all at one time. They will grade very conservatively so don't consign high value raw keys. You won't get the same return that you would selling elsewhere.

it doesn't matter if your listing accepts returns or not. eBay will make you take the item back. If the buyer states the reason as 'not as described'... you're going to be forced to take it back. Happened to me.... my listing stated that returns were not accepted and eBay allowed the buyer to send a CGC 9.8 book back to me for being 'not as described'. The kicker was that they issued the refund once the parcel's tracking showed delivered to a UPS warehouse... I hadn't even picked up the book yet and the buyer was given a full refund. I called eBay and said the guy could have shipped me back a pile of newspapers. They had no good response. Luckily the book was returned. @awakeintheashes Sorry to hear this happened. eBay scares the !@#$% out of me these days. I haven't sold/listed anything in a while

Great. I'm going to do that. keep things simple... and you can't beat chit chats' prices.

Black_Adam, I have used Chit Chats before and they're great. Have you ever sent a shipment with a retail value worth more than $800 to ComicLink for consignment? And is this fine so long as the declared value (insurance value) is below $800? Since this isn't a sale and the books aren't technically sold, this makes sense... kind of like when books are sent to/from CGC... you don't declare the full, top dollar retail value. I never like to mess around with this kind of stuff.... I just play by the rules and hope my parcels arrive where they're supposed to go. Greggy, this would be to a company

Thanks for the feedback!!

Hey All, I apologize if this has been asked before - I couldn't find a thread. I'm looking to ship books to the USA from Canada that will be consigned (They haven't been sold yet and are still my books). I don't want the receiver to pay any COD/duty charges... do you have any advice on how to send these? stick with Canada Post? Do I use a broker? what value should be declared? Thanks!

I don't like the PG (page copies) of comics that are sold. but I'd rather own 100% of a PG than share a fraction of a book with other people.

bumping this up. $600 + shipping via paypal SOLD

Totally ... As long as both parties are happy... it's a good deal for all involved. Congrats on the great haul.
