    I too have jumped to IG recently. I can be followed at @polonskycc . While all issues mentioned apply to some degree, the main reason I sell there more is the activity there. There is SO much and it is very active. There is a very strong and growing community. I do love selling on the boards, but I have been having a great time on IG. For example: my last thread offered here was about 100k in very rare and desirable GA books. I got some attention and some offers, but no sales. I started IG a few days later, and within my first 12 hours there sold almost everything from that last thread. The action is unreal, and if you have not checked it out, you need to. There are some  amazing people and collections there, and I have found many fellow boardies as well. I am still relatively new to IG, but would be happy to answer any questions people have about how to use it. It is a lot at first. I do still have love for the boards, and hope to see great threads in the future, but there is a reason for a lack of them as I see other dealers have jumped as well. 

    Man, you have some killer books for sale :)

    I'm not sure you can buy them new - maybe the i800+(?) but don't see it for sale anywhere.  I bought a 'new' one on ebay a few months ago, it wouldn't even fully power on, needless to say it wasn't new and got returned - rather disappointed but good news is my used one still works. 

    Posted this previously, but example of difference in glare (first image is HP, second is MicroTek):

    I've been looking to upgrade to an i800 from a HP8300 but it's been near impossible to find one at a decent price.

    you make no mention of whether they are loose stacked or on backer boards in good quality bags. That's important. 

    My ideal world would be about 60F, low humidity. low light in bags on boards. Take care to not stack them all in the same position . Best in good storage boxes, off the ground

    Raws are in mylar with full backs. Short boxes. Slabs are stored in boxes with spine down. :)
