Are the credits transferable? If so and you really can't use them, offer them up in the marketplace.

Always give away the first hit. Get your customers hooked and they'll buy a shipping kit for each time they submit books. Maximize the revenue streams. How long before orders must be received in official CGC shipping kits in order to maintain quality control?

I've never had the IRS ask for a receipt. My only comment on taxes is that the IRS regulations are full of loopholes best left to professionals. Don't wander thru a swamp at midnite on a moonless night without a proper guide.

He uses Kryptonian Super-Marketing.

Why does everyone think he only owns one suit?

I'm afraid I never learned to speak hipster. Could you repost this so us geezers can understand it.

If I have 300 raw books that I'm hoping to get $300 out of, it will cost me $45 and two hours of labor to bag and board. An employee that makes $12 an hour cost me more like $18 all in, so thats $81 in extra cost. That also assumes that I don't have a dozen or more things the employee could be doing that will result in more income. So the books are all boarded and bagged and ready to be added in, only now they need to be sorted by company and put in semi-alphabetical order. That's a third of my potential income gone. One thing I'm thinking about doing with the unbagged books is making bricks of 25 and selling them at a small discount. My town attracts lots of grandparents on vacation and I'm hoping to market the bricks to them.

The first name is right, but I don't remember the company name. He pulled a number of suspect moves but had an excuse for everything.

Either type would be fine. My plan calls for large turnover. Replacing the whole section every few weeks. If someone came by and offered me a quarter apiece for all of them, I'd be even happier. If they don't produce a couple hundred dollars a month, I will find a more profitable line to take the space. I don't know any shop that has their bargain bins organized like some people here think they should be.

No one is questioning your credentials.

Thor 337 is 35 years old and printed on rag paper. You can't compare the results with what 20 moderns would score.

So perhaps you aren't the sort I should be getting advice from on dollar books. I had an issue with a person who used to post here a few years ago. He offered a bunch of booksthat were shown in mylar and I made him an offer that he accepted. The books arrived and they were raw. He said the mylars were never part of the deal. I said they were the reason I bought half the books. I'd paid about $80 for 50 books and $20 shipping so I wanted to return them. We went back and forth and I suggested we start a thread. He offered me $10. We finally settled when he offered me a bag of mylite2s. A month or two later, he got into a protracted fight with a few members and pm'd me to please not mention our transaction. I was debating it when several more guys came in with complaints and the guys wife showed up.

I recently picked up a set of four or five of these in 3.5 inch size and two in the 5 inch scale. It was an auction and was listed as an incomplete 1980s Voltron set. They have nice details.

Let me just reinforce that we are talking about dollar bin fodder. My back issue section will be sorted, bagged, boarded and priced.

All of the modern books are bagged and boarded but I have hundreds of late bronze readers, and unsold copper stock that is 35 years old and never been bagged.

A bag and a board cost about a dime plus the labor. I'm selling them at 75% off the cost of a new book. Something has to give.

I'd take the Singing Sword because that would mean I was Prince Valiant!

Sounds like Mack Bolan, or Frank Castle. The scene in the parking lot when he gets arrested makes no sense if someone is 6'5. With that said, I look forward to seeing an accurate version of Jack Reacher.

After numerous delays, I've begun inching my way towards opening my retail location. I've eliminated about 1500 feet to develop my mail order and consignment services, so my comic area is going to be much smaller than my original thoughts. My plan right now calls for eight long boxes of $1 books. These will range from VG bronze age books thru copper and on to modern books. Do you prefer bargain bins to be semi organized, maybe by company or is half the fun not knowing what is next? I have about 25 short boxes worth of stuff I'd love to move at $1 each, so I plan to rotate the stock. How would you feel if the prices were $2 each, three for $5 or 10 for $10. Do unbagged books in the bargain bins bother you? I'm sure lots of you have much more expertise in these matters than I have, so please help me to give my clients the best possible experience.

So over the years I've gotten literally thousands of Marvel cards, sets, boxes, ect. Its easy to find what a sealed box goes for off ebay, but sets , subsets and chase sets are hard to track. Is there a website that I can use to learn more about what I have and what they sell for. I was surprised at what some of the boxes sell for, both good and bad.

I've never read the books but I enjoyed the movies. I thought Cruise was decent but don't know the character. The scene in the movie where he kicks that groups collective would have less impact if the guy was the side of an NFL linebacker.

I had an X-Men 1 missing an ad page in an old 1.0 label. If it were whole, it might have gotten a 1.8.

What you want to avoid is big swings. 40F in the winter and 85 in the summer is murder. Keeping it at 70-75 should be fine.

Before The Great Darkness Saga, Darkie was being used as a prop in kiddie books for most of a decade. When he reveals Orion as a slave and creates an army of billions of Daxamites, the potential was mind-boggling. This literally got me back into DC Comics.

I've been thinking about this. If I sold a book as a Fine and it came back as a 3.5, what do I owe the buyer? Would I start a thread and advertise the fact. Would I admit I messed up and fork over the $50. I'm just glad I'm not in that situation.
