  1. Huh? No way this shop sold them all then. Place was empty and it was after 5.
  2. Yeah, the shop I was at had about 150 unsold copies of 108 and a stack of 107, but 108 just came out?
  3. says "Angel of Death"... that's like me saying "Everyone needs a gallon of ice cream to wash down their fried chicken"
  4. I flipped mine for a quick $8-9 or so profit after i pay for fees and shipping, which offsets the other stuff I bought yesterday (overpaid for back issue copy of bitter root 6 that I hope ebay prices catch up to and others). too bad the shop was limiting it to 1 per customer, they had plenty. i could have tried to be greedy and ask for a few more $, but i wonder when the flood of these comes? or is it just a few big shops that have them? why wouldn't a lot of shops get some at $1 each, weird ordering requirements?
  5. I have always been able to sell nice raw copies of the book, even here, but we were talking $30-50. It was not MCP 1 or anything, which was a dollar box book.
  6. I have no issue with "when will you ship", but the implication that i am a bad guy because I did not get it out in 12-36 hours is irritating when my listing says 5 days
  7. something like that. my very old (early 2000s) cgc case did not even note it.
  8. Ebay says use sig confirm for $750 and over. I agree, what else can you do? But the buyer is out $800 if the postman self signed and misread the address, leaving it blocks away? The buyer didn't even buy the insurance, can they make a claim? That seems wrong too.
  9. 4 and 5 as a set are regularly $60-80+. And one of the 1s is on demand.
  10. I sell 7-12 items a week. I can't go to the post office every day.
  11. I'm just noting many sales. Not saying I would buy it. Crazy i sold a nice 4 here in December for $13 or $14. That book kind of makes sense sort of.
  12. It was not "when might this ship?" But rather "why hasn't this shipped"?
  13. I won't quote them here in case they are a boardie, but they seem to assume 12-36 hour shipping.
  14. We are at 2 days. Tomorrow goes out and it will be 3. Folks need to chill. This is not a book that will only be hot a minute
  15. My listings say a 5 day handling time. In reality generally 1-4. Guy pays late at night monday and is seemingly upset it has not been shipped. I lose money on shopping btw. Uhg
  16. Is the backup in Logan's run the 1st Thanos solo story or the 1st Drax solo story or both?
  17. BUY THEM ALL!!!!! It is because it is nowhere on the cover and there are like 4 other books people claim is the first solo story in their listings, so folks are confused. The question is whether a backup story "counts" as much as a Marvel Spotlight 28, for example, where it is the whole comic (I think) It isn't anyone cares about the 1st Falcon solo story or the 1st Hawkeye solo story (although, arguably, it isn't, as it is a team-up)
  18. i noticed that, i could not get the proper categories for some things
  19. I don't know what anyone else's point was, but my response to your surprise that the book had more 9.8s than other grades was simply that it likely got that way due to pre-screens because most folks would not knowingly slab that book if they thought it was a likely 9.2, at least not until very recently, and that it would have been financially illogical to do so, at least until very recently. Pre-screens are going to jack up the number of 9.8s vs. 9.6 and 9.4 because it is quite likely many books wind up staying raw rather than becoming slabbed 9.6 or 9.4 (and maybe less so right now as more and more 9.6 and 9.4 are worth it at current prices, but were not a year ago). Really, that's it. Iron Man 150 is not "more common" in 9.8 grade than 9.6 or 9.4, just like Spawn 1 is not more common in 9.8 condition or any number of the MANY books where 9.8s outnumber 9.6, etc., it is just that more people were willing to pay cgc fees to get back a label that says 9.8 and the way many do that is through a pre-screen.
  20. I would do a sell similar. Doing one from scratch is a big PITA.
  21. I have some issues editing sometimes on the phone. I clean up the listings later on my laptop.
