  1. I have not sold on the site before, but for what it's worth have had many successful purchases from multiple boardies. I have sold books on Ebay, but it’s been so long know that any relevant selling kudos is buried. Shipping: Included in the price. It will be securely packed and shipped VIA USPS Priority Mail. Book should ship within a day of payment. Payment: Paypal. Return Policy: No returns. All sales final. First I’ll take it in thread wins the book. Book up for sale is: NYX 3. Asking Price: $225 Now ... $180 shipped Structurally the book looks good. No tears. Staples are attached. Wear around the corners and along the spine (though it looks like some of the spine wear could be pressed out). There is a single red dot on the cover. I’ve included a closer photo of this. Not sure what it is. I’ve included a handful of photos so that you can best make a judgment on the books condition and if it’s right for you. Thanks for looking and feel free to PM any questions.
  2. Per email update... ”Last month, you might have heard I gave Chimera's Comics Oak Law away in the essay contest, as promised. I chose Chris Cavanaugh to take over. As Chris saw how much was involved in running a small business, he told me he needed partners. That wisdom is how I knew I'd chose well.So Chris and I talked - and we invited Brian Stuchell to join the team and take the lead of Chris's team. Brian is a beloved former business owner in Oak Lawn who has overcome a tremendous battle with cancer. But one casualty of the war with his disease was his store, Greenfire Games. Chris and I saw we had a chance to set things right, and give the customers of Chimera's Comics Oak Lawn the leadership and love it deserves.On Monday, July 1, I handed the keys over to Brian and Chris. I no longer own Chimera's Comics Oak Lawn.”
  3. Randall rocks ... but I'm sure everyone that's purchased from him already knows that. Accurate descriptions, fast turnaround time and shipping, and the books are professionally packaged (easy to open with those tabs). He's a seller you can trust. Plus he seems like a genuinely nice guy. It's all why I'm a repeat buyer. Thanks very much!
  4. Based upon her Facebook page...the contest for the house was extended to July 5. There's also a recent video update. "Write A Letter Win A House"
  5. Sorry ... poorly worded. The LaGrange Chimera Comics had co-owners when it opened. The winner of the store is Facebook friends with both those co-owners. He is NOT one of the original co-owners. Sorry for the confusion.
  6. You can see the connection if you do a Facebook search. So, maybe "friends" is too strong of a word. Acquaintances via social media?
  7. https://abc7chicago.com/business/meet-the-winner-of-this-free-comic-book-store-competition/5292849/ Two winners to the contest. 1) Winner of the store: A friend of the owner and original co-owner of the store. 2) Secondary store being started as a non-profit in an underprivileged area in Chicago. Now, if you go back to watch any of the videos about the giveaway, the owner talked about how he was gonna set up the winner to succeed. Lots of publicity as all the media outlets wanted to cover the winner. Flash forward. One news outlet reports it. And one would think FCBD would be a great launch for a new owner. That didn't happen. A lot of hoopla to end in a whimper.
  8. If you're going the pre-order route (2 months in advance) ... like a DCBService ... I would recommend http://kowabungacomics.com. They offer equal discounts to DCBS, and I've found their packages to arrive much quicker and the issues in nicer condition.
  9. at 20% off....thanks! Iron Man #15 -- F+ -- 6.5 -- $15 Iron Man #71 -- VF -- 8.0 -- $7 Incredible Hulk #203 -- F/VF -- 7.0 -- $3 Power Man #22 -- Copy A -- F/VF -- 7.0 -- $3
  10. This was the entry doors that weren't by Starbucks (so other section from where you were located). You had some minor celebs set up there (Jake the Snake Roberts and Ming from Comic Book Men). I think that Harley Yee was set up on the opposite side of where that black table clothed booth is on the left. So by nature of being more specialty booths...I can see why this area would look empty at certain times. But definitely not indicative of the overall show.
  11. Not comic books...but really fun to visit...the Funko Pop store. Cool photo ops with the different sections. I believe this is in Everett. Hit the Seattle pop museum for the Marvel exhibit. It ends in March and is spectacular to see in person.
  12. After the recent -30 degree days ... I question why I'm still in Chicago!
  13. Here's a link to the recent livestream where he answers questions pertaining to the raffle for those interested in hearing directly from the current owner.
  14. Do you have to pay taxes on the estimated value of raffle winnings?
  15. According to a recent email from him...he has received hundreds of applications.... "I'm hosting an open house at Chimera's Comics Oak Lawn this Sunday from 12PM-3PM. I've had hundreds of people apply to win Chimera's Comics Oak Lawn, and thousands more are thinking about it - literally, I'm not making that up.I would love to meet everyone and show folks around the store. Plus I've been getting a lot of great questions (seriously, I did an hour long livestream and answered questions nonstop). So I want to address those in person too.I'll have free comics for kids 10 and under, some light refreshments (aka, donuts).Plus, I'll be there with my brother Nicholas, who will be signing copies of his young adult novel, "The Crusader."I'll sweeten the pot with a coupon too. I hope you can make it!"
  16. I agree. And with this "opportunity" they will not share any of the subscriber base numbers to potential applicants. The selected winner will be shared that info under NDA. So, how can one value that component when there isn't transparency with it?
