1) No one said to store your comics in the storage unit. Use the storage unit to store other things to make space in your inner sanctom for your comics. 2) Keeping boxes of low worth comics in a storage unit can create, shall we say, an opportunity in the event someone does pilfer the unit. If you are into that sort of thing.

They all are, until they aren't. Keep your eye on it as I doubt anyone will meet that asking price.

The best way to get rid of garbage books is not to buy them in the first place. When possible, I find it better to offer more for less. If a person is asking a quarter a book, I'd rather give him $1 a book for twenty percent of his stuff and leave the rest.

You have to learn to deal with rejection. I turn down most collections I see and get turned down on most of the ones I make offers on.

There is no chance I'm paying $1 a book for 1980s stuff. 90% of the stuff is junk so you are really paying $5 a book for the 10% or so worth it. What do you do with the other 40,000+ books you paid $1 each for? The idea is to pay ten cents each so you can make money selling the bulk for $1 and make money on the good stuff. Not have to sell the good stuff to recoup the money you wasted on a truckload of carp. Are the books bagged and boarded, in an organized fasion or do you need to spend hundreds of hours and lots more money getting them ready for sale? Are the boxes thirty years old and need replacing? How much will it cost to move them? Who will move them? Where will you store them? A "deal" like this can bite you in the az very quickly.

I'm not an expert, nor do I stay in Holiday Inns but it seems the onus is on the buyer. On the other hand, if you are selling stuff on a regular basis, why not get a business license? They are a good thing to have. You might be surprised the doors that open when you have one.

Income tax and sales tax are two different things and are usually handled by different deparments, if not different agencies. The person/machine handling one won't care about the other. If you say you sold $1,000 worth of books, they have no way of knowing if they were sold in state or out of state.

Can you give some examples of rare GA books MCS won't take on consignment unless they are slabbed? That is something I have not ran across.

I don't get it. Why waste time and money buying slabbed books when you obviously don't agree with their grades on most books. Why not save money and buy them raw?

MCS has a great consignment service that is much easier than selling on ebay, but not for dollar books.

My books arrived safely today.

Sounds to me like it was hacked.

Did CGC? Don't they consider 1980s as modern?

I don't see the appeal but silver is about $20 an ounce with $5 swings either way and has never hit $100 an ounce so it is unlikely to go up in value. I'd hang a print of TOS 39 and buy six ounces of silver, but that's just me. I used to have hundreds of ounces of silver laying around.

Any silver TOS 39 is a recent creation, and is worth nothing except as a curiosity. It is not a rare variant or anything of value. If it has 35 grains of silver, it is worth $2, give or take a bit.

Can't you fold the book and frame the page?

If you put a thick piece of plywood on top of the boxes, and the mattress on top of that, they will be fine. Use drawerboxes and all the books are easily accessed, as well.

18-22 pretty much nailed it. Those silver foil things are interesting, but they aren't comics and are tremendously overpriced. Silver is roughly $20 an ounce and there are about 440 grains to an ounce so 35 grains of silver is less than $2 worth. They are overpriced wall hangings with little precious metal value.

It gets you no where if i'm the buyer. I can only imagine the reaction if a dealer at a show showed me a book and then produced a CGC label he said was associated with the book. If I'm buying a common book like X-Men 100, am I supposed to even care if you happen to have a cracked out label for a X-Men 100 in 9.0. Once a book is out of a slab, keeping the label is meaningless, to me. Telling me this was once a CGC X.X is as meaningful as saying it was once a factory fresh NM+. What is to stop someone from cracking out an Avengers 7.0, selling the book raw as an 8.0 and foisting off his raw 6.0 undercopy as the former 7.0 that he has the label to show as proof? You can rent a 5X5 storage unit in almost any region for a couple hundred dollars a year. Surely it is more economical to use that extra space to store items than to deslab a book just to save a little space. Get creative. Raise your bed up a few inches and you can fit ten or more long boxes under it. If you have kids, that's ten boxes per bed. I've seen people use long boxes as tv stands. Properly assembled drawerboxes can be stacked six boxes high. That gives you the ability to store 180 slabs in 18 inches of floor space. Buy a few jhooks and transform a room by using your slabs as literal wallpaper. Be creative.

Blessed.

Space has never been a consideration.

He is not. The Robert E Howard estate owns the rights to Conan, Solomon Kane, Kull, Brak Mak Muffin(Sp?), Red Sonja and a bunch more. Conan was a contemporary of Mickey Mouse, who most certainly is not in public domain. In the US, it is life plus 95 years. I don't know if that is from the first story or from the last story. Howard was writing Conan well into the 1930s, as I recall. The rerst of thbe world is life plus seventy years so Conan might be in public domain in some countries, but not in the USofA. That stuff is far beyond me. I've read that some people actually go to school for things like this.

I don't know but licensing a character for comics doesn't mean they can insert him into a movie. I'd imagine someone has the rights to Conan movies, and I don't think it is Disney.

Is Conan part of the MCU? Anymore than the Transformers,GI Joe or Star Trek?
