Get Marwood & I

No, you're not.

Yes, that happens occasionally - at random intervals I still get a free listing offer. When I was selling, it would usually come just after I'd listed everything! The drafts I used to sit on waiting for it to come... I haven't checked but our (UK) cap is £250 I believe.

He's waiting for the Showaddywaddy comeback.

Did you get out of the bed the wrong side today FD? I included some flippancy in my post. You may well have that simplification, if you have an account of some sort. In the UK, without such an account, I pay a listing fee, a final value fee, a final value fee on postage, a PayPal fee and have to provide a blood sample. So it could be simpler.

I also sold a VFN AF15, given to me by my brother, for seventy quid to buy clothes when I was 16. It doesn't matter though, you get the rate when you sell. Every dealer we know has sold multiple keys down down the years. Had they kept them all they'd be millionaires. I have another AF15 now. If I sell it now, in 20 years time someone will say I was a wally and should have waited. On that logic, you'd never sell anything ever. You get what you get at the time that you sell. They go up, they go down. Try not to give a darn, if you can.

I sold ASM #667 Dell'otto for 'only' a grand

Keep your hair on FD. I did acknowledge the positives in my post so don't lump us all in the same boat. I would just prefer a simplified fee structure instead of little bits all over. And maybe slightly cheaper fees. And a car. Free money. A Thor #19 newsstand. Is that too much to ask?

Yes. The first image in the thread is ASM 93's splash. The second comparative image is ASM 78. So I'm confused. A book can't have two backs and one front. Can we see a picture of the front cover of the book you've bought @Ovrclck ?

Oh my God. Is that....a newsstand copy?

Make sure you get the settings right. No one wants a Showaddywaddy comeback.

Nah. Just get rid of Chibbers and Whitterer, stick in a bloke with gravitas and quirkiness, add a series director with an appreciation of the medium and this whole sorry saga will be forgotten in a flash.

THANK YOU! This might be him, I'm calling at lunch!! Good luck. How many comic shops in Texas run by Gage can there be!

leave be done with it? Never change your sentence midway through

There were definitely elements of a Doctor Who story hiding in there, and some aspects reminded me of old Tom Baker episodes. But if you're unhappy with the lead, and the team (or 'fam' as they're now going for) it's difficult to appreciate them. Also, and as I've already said, nothing has been advanced this season. If you took it away, and started with a new team next year, there would be no trace of it, or any need to reference it. I know that may have been deliberate, to make it seem fresh, but whats the point of a 50 year history if you don't at least acknowledge it once in a while and build on it. Again, as I've said, it gives the impression that the previous incarnations didn't exist or have been forgotten. There is no way that Jodie is an 'advancement' on Peter. And you can take your pick of the two available on that!

I found this helpful note in with a recent ebay purchase and thought I'd share it here. See - ebay sellers aren't all bad you know

All my stickers are wrong now! Good job they're temporary

You know that thing when you wait for a bus, and it doesn't come, but you carry on waiting, and it doesn't come, but you don't want to start walking because you know the minute you do it will come, so you carry on waiting, and it doesn't come, so you finally get up and start walking, and you keep looking back, and it doesn't come, and then just as you're too far away to run back, it comes? Well this is a bit like that. Having said there is 'nothing new to say' on Marvel pence books, here's something new to say, courtesy of our friend and neighbour Thread Miller (nice chap, with an unusual first name spelling who few have heard of): The title 'Amazing Adventures' has always been a puzzle as it has 9d pence copies for #5 and 6 only. There's no obvious reason why 1-4 weren't produced, as other titles at the time were. But thanks to the discovery that 1-4 have L Miller indicias, we can now see why: We know from the Miller research that the presence of a Miller indicia means that Thorpe & Porter didn't pick up the title, and we know that the second Miller date tranche (Sep 1960 - Aug 1961) has books with only 10c cover prices (plus our new Sep dated #4). So Amazing Adventures 1-4 can't exist with 9d prices. Another little bit of info on the 'what does / doesn't exist' debate. See you next year

If you follow this thread, you'll understand the significance of that last post. We have a new 'Miller title' - Amazing Adventures - which is also our first 'non-western' title Issues 1 to 4 all have Miller indicias (I have the evidence) and, wait for it, 10c cover prices. So it's also the first title to break my previously posted Miller date range - issue #4 is a September 1961 issue! So the table needed a rewrite and here it is (minus the KCO column): Previously we had three date blocks for the in scope titles; the Miller 9d run, the Miller 10c run and then the T&P 9d take over. Now we need a fourth block, just for September 1961, as we have a LM 10c book and a 9d T&P book existing in that month. Amazing Adventures #5 and 6 are confirmed T&P indicias, so Amazing Adventures #4 is a bit of an anomaly, breaking the pattern with gay abandon. Up until now all the indications are that Miller took on a handful of westerns, which made a kind of sense given that they were into western reprints. The discovery that this title was also taken on raises the possibility that the other Marvel titles in the date range may also have had some Miller treatment. My initial analysis suggests not though, and it may be that Amazing Adventures will be the last discovery (accepting that Wyatt has still yet to show his hand. Well, indicia). The summary now is: Four confirmed titles - Amazing Adventures, Gunsmoke Western, Rawhide Kid, Two-Gun Kid One title TBC - Wyatt Earp, quite likely to be a Miller 26 potential books 23 confirmed GW #61, TGK #58 almost certain to be Millers WE #29 likely to be I'll let you know if anything changes

Yes. And paypal takes 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction. So if you sell a lot of individual comics like I do, it works out to 4-5% actually. I haven't sold in a long time but I seem to recall at one point eBay UK would cap the amount you could charge for comic postage. Trouble is, it was below what you actually paid, and then you lost 10% of it. I changed to free P&P with that cost built in in the end. I don't mind paying a fee for a service. After all, ebay is quick and easy and gives you global reach from your armchair. But I don't like the little bits here and there approach. A fee, a paypal fee, a postage fee. a listing fee. Just list one % fee and leave be done with it!

What did he say Paul? I haven't seen that.
