Merry Christmas folks

Took time to walk through your site and here are some of my initial thoughts, questions and suggestions. I hope they're useful feedback - meant to be constructive criticism of course.

First off, great work overall and thank you for sharing what started off as your personal tool!! Has lots of functionality. I like the fact that you've included front cover images - I realize they are stock, but still!

Search Functionality

I find it a bit of confusing.

* What is the purpose of the "Sort by" dropdown, say when you are searching by book name? And why is the Sort By at the top of the drop-down which I deem as the first option?

* Could just be me, but it took me a while to find the search field. I started to write up suggestion to introduce free text search then I found it! Typical, I see the search field located at the top right corner...or in the case of your site, it might make sense to have it right near the drop-downs. My intuition was not to go to below the logo.

* Regarding the free text search, it would helpful if it had auto-complete.

* Overall, I am not a big fan of drop-downs, especially if the drop down list is large like 'Select A Book' or potentially 'Select Issue'

* In terms of performance, I find the search response time is a bit lagging. Obviously I don't know your tech stack, but if you could cache some of the data or use elastic search, that would help with the response time for sure.

User Interface / Experience

* I think this is more along the lines of personal preference, I do think that the banner takes too much real estate. I have no problem with the search results going beyond the fold, but I feel that is a lot of vertical space for the logo and search.

* Not liking the google ads sandwiched between the logo/search area and results. I find it distracting. I'm sure you had your reasons for placing it there, but would putting it in a sidebar be an option? But I realize this could just be a personal preference things.

* In the latest sales carousel, it would be nice for the thumbnail image to be clickable.

* As far organization of things, I prefer to see the stats features on the page grouped together. For instance, the recent searches, recent title sales might be better suited in a sidebar. By the way, in Chrome, the "RECENT SEARCHES:" label is getting covered by the target logo.

* In the comic issue details page, the 'Buy [comic title/issue]' doesn't seem to account for the select CGC grade? Or am I wrong?

* In chrome, clicking on the comic title / issue in the search results takes me to new tab. I would prefer to stay in the same tab.

Data, data, data

I think this is where the greatest challenge lies. For me, the site's look and feel could be sick as heck, but if the data is either minimal or unreliable, then I doubt I'd be a regular user.

Here are some of my questions:

* What are your sources for realized comic sales? Is it just eBay?

* If multiple sources, how do you collect non-eBay data like from Etsy or Hakes, major (and minor) comic dealers?

* Is your data collection mechanism automated or do you find yourself doing a lot of manual work to load data into your system? Of course, depending on how much manual work, it might not be sustainable.

* Do you sieve the data before it goes live?

Other stuff

"Recover Password" I don't think that should be a top level menu item. It is typically part of the login page or overlay as an action link, just below the username and password fields.

Not sure if "List Pages" is self-explanatory. How about something like "Quick Stats" or "Top Stats"?

When using the search field in the search results section, if I type #1, it filters out the results, but not when I type just 1. Minor issue, but would be nice if it knew that entering number meant i was asking for a specific issue.

Marvel Premiere #1

Marvel Premiere #2

Warlock #8

Sounds great in the video recordings! I can imagine how much better it was live. Effin great job by all members of the band. And dude Matt has some serious chops!

You're welcome Roy. Was fun to do and a nice departure from programming for a change.

At least get a real drummer to play in the band...sheesh!!

Sounds like a load a fun...wish I could trek out there from So Cal just for the show.

By the way, I recommend throwing in 'I am the Slime' by Zappa and 'YYZ' by Rush to your set list..oh and 'Angel of Death' by Slayer for good measure.

Matt purchased a Marvel Preview #4 CGC 9.6 from me. He paid within the time as we agreed. Great to deal with and I highly recommend. Matt rocks.

I can't lie, this week has been good for my collection.

 

 

That is so awesome.

yes, great pickup. Love Steranko covert at on Nick Fury

Some art ( digital prints and lithograph

Nice! Is that an original or print? And Neal Adams?!

Joey bought a few books from me. fast payment. thank you!

Sounds like I need to give Arrow a try. Think they'll tie in other elements of the DC universe?

By the way, CW offices are on the floor below mine. I often use their bathroom...much cleaner than ours which I believe has to do with the fact that the female:male ratio is higher on that floor. But that's just my theory. Though one gripe I have is that there's WB-produced corporate pop rock playing around the clock in the bathroom. Oh the irony.

Yes, TMI. It's 12:36AM PST. What do you expect?

As in previous posts on this thread I had brought up 3 boardies no-names revealed...as I wanted to give each of them the chance to conatc me and clear things up...2 of 3 did and for that I thank those 2. As for the third Ive heard nothing....So regretfully...

 

I nominate 'ComicsAndCode ' to the probation thread. Purchased "Silver Surfer comics. #2(2x),#4-#10' on '05/28/12 ' , paid '05/28/12' by echeck(gift avoid fees) and it still hasn't arrived and they aren't responding to PMs (didnt read last 4 PMs or private emails). PM sent indicating I would nominate them to the Probation thread .

 

I hope they are ok and understand that life can get in the way but I would like to get this transaction completed.

 

Where it goes from here i dont know....wait and see. If anything if im out $225 US at least this can be a waring to others...dont use GIFT!! and second avoid dealing with comicandcode.

 

ComicandCode did contact me and assured me books have been sent out and apologies for the tardiness...so here is hoping. His explanation just hit a rough patch...as a buyer and some times seller I understand that (we all should) and give each person a fair chance. Life throws us hurdles...Sometimes we will stumble and fall, but given a chance the good guys will always get back on their feet. So will keep you all posted on my shipment

I goofed up big time on this one. No valid excuse. Kellam has been very patient with me on this fumbled transaction. First, i delayed shipment, then when it arrive he noticed a book was missing. In the end, he received all the books he purchased from me. For the inconvenience, I threw in VG copies of Thor 149 and Daredevil 165.

Hey all,

I am selling an original James Jean piece that I personally bought from him back in 2008. It is the final line drawing of the Black Parade album cover. It is professionally framed using ultraviolet protective glass. I am asking $15000. At that price, I will deliver the piece to your door anywhere in US or Canada, free of charge.

This is probably one of James most elaborate commissioned work.

Thanks for looking.

I gotta say, in my 5 or 6 years of being on the board, I've seen some pretty awesome collections displayed. HOWEVER, no offense, but I have come to the conclusion that the majority of comic book/merchandise collectors (or at least the ones showcasing their collection here) lack any sort or aesthetic sensibility. Just sayin'

This room has potential to present like one from the Geppi's Museum.. It just needs some slight modification here and there.
