Ha. I’m a numbers guy. I think about stupid stuff like that all the time. I know how many books are in each box I own.

Early Showcase...

I have made a couple purchases on there. No bad experiences yet. My pet peeves are: - There are basically zero rules. Everyone does things their own way, and you kind of have to feel your way through. - Many sellers demand or expect F&F payments, which I am allergic to, unless I actually consider you a friend. I have been guilty of asking for that on here a couple times, but I am way over that. It's just better to do things with the protections and benefits. - No centralized feedback. You have to dig for it, and ask around. All this is similar to Facebook, though the only buying/selling group I use on FB has some (loosely enforced) rules. Overall, it hasn't been bad for me, but I cannot see doing a major purchase there without some significant history with the seller.

How, if at all, do you guys track your collections? I am a spreadsheet nerd, so I try and keep a listing of every book I own (including duplicates) with the box it's in, the year, publisher, grade and OSPG values. I also try and keep the price I paid for the book (even if it's an estimate), and I try and keep track of what I sold the book for (if I ever do so). I'll save you the time...I'm a nerd. But, I love numbers. I know that I have 112 issues from the publishing year 1964, and I have 413 issues of the Amazing Spider-Man, and I have more issues of DC than Marvel (by only 53 books). 4,547 issues overall. I love keeping track of where the holes in my collection are, etc. I assume I am not alone, but anyone else out there worse than me?

Moving these elsewhere. I will be sending out invoices today. Thanks, all, for looking.

Alright...last gasp price reductions posted. I will close this down tomorrow. Thanks again.

One last bump.

Winner on both @oceans11 Thanks!

I will leave this up through the weekend, and get invoices out on Monday. Let's move some more books.

Happy Saturday to you. Things aren't moving to quickly here, so I am dropping prices. Feel free to shoot me an offer, too. Thanks for looking.
