  1. At this point, I'm not subbing anything that I'm not selling. Since I want to sell most books quickly, I'm fast tracking. If fast track keeps falling behind, then I really have to question whether to sub any books whatsoever in the Modern, Value or Economy tiers. I'll just end up stockpiling for an onsite opportunity.

     

    You'll still have raw 9.8 price gouging opportunities.

    Is he selling Walking Deads?

  2. I have 3 different subs in the works that are all modern SS books and all of them I am paying extra to fast track them. I am usually a laid back person but if all 3 subs end up taking longer than the posted estimate TAT for the tier in question without a fast track I will have some fun words with the CGC CS rep that answers my phone call. I will be demanding a refund on the $10 per book fast track if this happens.

     

    This is sadly becoming a pretty big joke over the last 2 years with these TATs. It is pretty pathetic to have to pay for fast track on everything so you don't have to wait 5+ months to get stuff back.

     

    At this point maybe they should consider NOT accepting anymore subs until they can start moving things in the right direction.

    You can pitch all the hissy fit you want, but you won't get a refund. If you submit books to be graded, you will wait however long it takes to get your books graded as you don't have enough clout to get them graded any faster.

     

    I like to complain more than the next guy, but it's either wait or don't submit. That's the gist of it when there's no where else to submit books.

  3. If EVERYONE would stop submitting books to CGC all of these "wait time" problems would go away. Lets all work together by not submitting any more comics to CGC. We can have this problem solved in no time!

     

    :acclaim:

    This is the best course of action I've heard in a long time.

  4. Tell me if I'm wrong but doesn't CGC pay a hefty bill to their insurance for each day that the book stays in their facility?

     

    I doubt that plays very little if at all into any turn around time scenario. Unless you have excellent before scans of a book that you send to CGC, I'm sure any claim of damages resulting from CGC negligence would be met with the proverbial, "Prove it."

     

    They only thing that's going to move your book faster through the channels would be larger denominations on your greenbacks.

  5. So, how much did Dice whine to get you to make the change from Gargamel? :baiting:

    He didn't. We chose not to go with the ones posted above because they weren't really funny. Bunky Brian's and FFB looked too realistic and we thought Arex would be funnier as Hulk Hogan. Plus, he has the wrestling angle.

    Bunky Brian's didn't require any photoshop.

    I know! It looks just him but without his hair dyed.
