I'm wondering if anyone else is confused about the new eBay payout policy and why they removed PayPal from that end of it. (If there's another thread talking about that, any direction would be appreciated!)

I almost entirely use the mobile app and I can't tell if the process to transfer your sales into your bank account is automatic... or does it sit as available balance like PayPal?

I hadn't sold in years and I just started selling again about 3 weeks ago, and I was confused too. But so far it's been ok - I've done about $1,900 in sales, and they just transfer payment to your bank. I have mine set up for daily transfer. The first couple of sales they held it for a bit - probably because I hadn't sold in so long, but now it's regular. I was a little trepidatious at first but it's been really smooth, and even the process of printing shipping labels is easier too, and they just take the cost out of your payout, which makes it easier in my opinion.

I get that, but I would be furious with myself if I paid $2,500 for a 9.8 Blue Label on the same day a SS 9.8 was BIN for $2,100.

Personally I'd rather have a blue label, especially on a key book that I want. I do like the sig series sometimes, but generally only if it has a remarque, and/or if it's an artist I like but it's not on a key issue. Maybe I'm in the minority though...

There was a local comic show today, and one booth was basically all dollar boxes, so I did some diving. Found a few neat, low-value things to grab - and then one very pleasant surprise.

Really trying to figure out what to make of this listing.....

https://www.ebay.com/itm/304006625693?hash=item46c834f99d:g:OlkAAOSwVExgqaW1

I've gotten some awesome books out of weird lot buys, but none have looked like that...

I never had much before that I felt would be worth getting graded, but now I've gotten a few books that make sense to send in. Anything I get graded would be for my personal collection at this point though. But yeah, I plan/hope to do my first submission within the next six months.

FYI, this is Detective Comics 359. Batman 359 is the first full cover appearance of Killer Croc. That's an ok book, but I'd rather have this one, nice book!

It stopped happening a few minutes after I posted. The php issues, that is. I can't confirm the other issues on the boards have stopped, although there haven't been as many "I think my cgc slab is tampered with because my 8.0 Batman #521 has a weird smell to it" posts lately.

Had to have it

Love this! Captain Carrot remains one of my all-time favorites, and I wish they'd do a proper action figure! Sweet book! I have a raw copy, should really pick up a graded one too...

Are the boards acting up for anyone else tonight, or is it just me? It's driving me nuts, I keep getting php errors. Wanted to see if it's an issue on my end or board-wide...

I've been wanting one of these for a while, and with prices creeping up thought I would nab one. Presents well for the grade in my opinion.

 

That's a sweet-looking book, congrats!

Love the Mighty Mouse cover, Demon Days 1, and Joker 3 card cover.

I had to have the Mighty Mouse when I saw it - I was at a small shop and it wasn't priced, and the owner said, "I dunno, looks like about $3 to me." Sold!

Alphabet Soup.

That seems to be my current state of organizing, and then I wonder why I can't find anything...

I've been picking up a lot of books lately, and my organizational skills are lacking - I need to go through and reorganize everything, and it got me thinking about the best way to do it. I'm thinking maybe creating a box of books I plan to sell/trade/etc., a box or two of only key or high-value books across titles and then the rest in boxes alphabetized by title.

Just got me curious to see how others prefer to organize their raw books.

My disappointment is in myself cruising eBay after a few bourbons and putting in best offers on slabs that I assume won't get accepted, then waking up and finding out I owe someone money and I lacked the discipline to stick to my collecting goals... Luckily it doesn't happen often, but it has happened!

I like that Rob Zombie Bigfoot 1! 

It's pretty cool! I knew nothing about it, but it looked interesting for a buck. The seller was super cool, he was just trying to move stuff I guess - I took all the books up to him and he was like, "how about a $20 bill?" I think all together they were like $28 according to what he had marked and the dollar bin stuff. Sure, $20 sounds fine!

Hoping for some help/info here - I hit an antique fair today, and I like to grab odd and obscure books that I find, especially in the $1 boxes, because some of this stuff is pretty cool. I found a copy of a book called "Daffy Qaddafi - Malice in Wonderland." The premise made me laugh so I bought it.

There are a few on eBay and I've seen it on other sites like MyComicShop, but every single one I see has a full-color cover, and my copy has a black and white (or really, black, blue and white) cover. Anyone have any ideas on if this is some kind of subsequent printing or something?

I've bought a couple of times from Derek, and he always sends the books fast, packed well and exactly as he describes them in his listings. Thank you again!
