Wolverine WIP. Got another one I'll scan later.

yep. And now that people are putting significant money on 181, you'd be asking people to burn thousands of dollars to change their minds.

+1 Good read. I wonder if the above is from your previous forays, or is learned/applied from your work hat took you to Asia.

How one reacts to the risk is up to them. If you lose that much money, you get to decide how it affects you

I didn't see anyone 'coulda, woulda, shoulda' lhcomics or belittle him. It would be nice if, when he gets his book back, he and other dealers could have some measure of increased protection from the scumbags who take their books so they don't have to disappear from shows. It seems natural to try to find improvements when a high profile book gets taken, ideally to come up with a way to make it impossible to steal a book and get away with it.

Hope you get the books back

Interesting. I wondered if they were simply too high priced for people at cons to buy, or that dealers make more money selling them in another avenue. My proposed display would not be great if the book had to come off the wall. Hopefully ihcomics gets his back and an anti theft solution is found, so dealers don't have to worry.

What's the likelihood of selling an AF15 or Hulk 181 at a convention? If the book is there for attraction/marketing purposes only, a back wall could be designed out of steel or aluminum, with angle iron/angle AL at the top and bottom on the books, so one would have to slide all the slabs up to the AF15 out of the rack at the side to get it out.

Hope you get the book back. Has anyone tried an RFID lo-jack on pricey slabs? I wonder if that would be viable.

You do keep going back to it, but like I pointed out, benefit is not a requirement for responsibility. A car accident typically benefits no one, but someone often bears responsibility.

It is a great idea. Just for ebay, not sellers. What choice do you have, though?

Receipts or it didn't happen, bro.

If you list expecting at least to give 10% off, why not list it already with 10% off? If someone offers 10% less than your ask, do you auto-take it, or make a counter offer?

timing is everything. I ended up giving away a slabbed 9.6 Nightwing, or an X-Men Annual 14 on the boards cause no one wanted 'em.

Not a fan of Juggernaut's partner, Black Tom?

Whether that's better depends on the effort per dollar cost. if you sell online, you have to scan, price, and list 3 books to come close to equivalent profit. If you sell physically, you have to transport 3x as much weight and volume. The rub is the matter of diminishing returns, the longer your money is trapped in that $900 book and the more instances you go back home with it.

What you can learn about new places and people can have a profound effect on you. i was lucky to have traveled extensively as a child through my mid 20s, for extended periods, which has shaped who I am and how I see existence. To each his own, though. If the comics bring you joy and travel doesn't, I wish all the comics for you. I'd trade a Tec 27 or Action 1 for a few years of living in Mauritius in a heartbeat.

I never met the owner. i can't recall the name, either. I'll ask my brother if he remembers. It was in a strip mall, but didn't have a sign.
