  1. I haven't bought much from Sparkle City recently but bought a bunch of raw and slabbed books from them from late 2012-2015.   I looked very carefully at the pictures on the raw books before buying I also expected a bit of a discount from GPA because buying raw books on the internet is a lot different than having them in hand.  I would also say I look very closely at back cover scans.

    With that said the raw books I have bought have mostly graded out (with the occasional dud) even though I have seen many books raw posted by them that seemed clearly over graded to me.  It seemed to me that I used to get bigger discounts on the raw books in their auctions in the past.  They got more of a following and even the raw books that seemed over graded were going off close to GPA.

     

    Since I am on their e-mail list I look at their auctions now and then but I haven't bought since the prices rose to the point where I did not feel I was being compensated for the risk of buying raw books from them as I was in the past.

    Some, yes. I have a low count and am sure I would face issues selling here. That being sad, I would have trouble buying something of high $ value from someone with a count like me. Damb my lurker ways!

    This, having a low post count below a certain threshold is a turnoff for potential buyers and sellers (myself included).  Aside from that post counts don't have a lot of meaning for me.

  3. Questions:

    Will the new boards be adding signatures like the old boards had?

    Also, my old account was set up using an e-mail address I later used to set up a dealer account.  I had to use a different address to register for this new account.  Is there any way I can merge my accounts or is that just not going to happen?
