Dark Knight

That's so bad .. it's either he was trying to pull off a scam or he was trying to see if he can sell it for a higher price than what the OP listed it for so in turn he can buy it off OP and complete the transaction with the new potential FB buyer.

Must've been his secret nickname

Hmmm... I'll try and make it. I do love me some beer

That's perfect until your stack is too high and the bottom slabs crack. I've had them there for years and no cracks at all. I do only put a few in there so the weight is fine

My books are laid flat on its back

I think the last book i had Stan signed was #12,855,378

200 transactions and $20k of payments

AND 200 sales. If you only had $20k worth of payment and 199 in sales you won't get a form.

I know Paypal has a 200 transaction and $200K in sale threshold where they will send you a form 1099-k tax form. With the new individual state laws applied, how would this affect paypal transactions? Will Paypal adjust to what the state laws are or keep it the same?

I think even the pro experts too have made small mistakes with their pressing. I think a couple boardies had experiences with this. Nothing is ever 100% fine, there's always that small % of imperfection.

Yeah, but how secured and safe are you in say buying a big book. Can you actually trust the seller 100%? I think selling on FB or any social media is the same as selling on ebay minus the new tax laws with ebay but at least with ebay, you do have some buyer's and seller's protection. With FB and IG, that's thrown out the window. Also there's no middleman to check and make sure everything is legit for either one of them. I'd rather pay the auction house the 10% or so to have peace of mind

If you can find one available especially the largest one they have. Everytime I go to my bank, the tellers always tell me how lucky I am to have a large box because everyone is literally looking for one.

Hard to believe that anyone would consign books of this caliber to Heritage without negotiating a deal. Getting them to waive the SP would be the starting point for the negotiations. I believe it really depends on the extent of your collection and the overall estimated value of it. If you only have 1 or 2 of these books (not talking about Action 1 or 'Tec 27 in this case) I seriously don't think you are going to get much of a discount (if any) from Heritage. If Heritage waives the fees the way some of you seem to think think here (i.e. for almost everything), it makes it sound like they are only charging the consignor 15% all in by the time it's all said and done which is something I don't really believe. Now, if you was John Veryzl's estate, Jon Berk, Bedrock, and the likes who have signed a contract to consign all of your collection through Heritage, I can definitely believe this 15% figure that seems to be thrown around here. For the rest of us poor smucks out here, not so much. I was talking to somebody here who had consigned a whole bunch of Vancouver pedigree books to Heritage a few years back. I asked him what his fees were and if he managed to get back a portion of the buyers premium which seems to be the going theory on these boards here. He simply stated that he only had to pay the seller's premium and the buyer's premium had absolutely nothing at all to do with him since it was paid entirely by the buyer. No matter how I tried to explain that he was in fact indirectly also paying for the buyer's premium out of the final realized auction price, he simply could not understand that. Bottom-line: I bet you he ended up paying the full shot for the 19.5% buyer's premium along with probably the entire seller's premium whatever that turned out to be. Since most of us seems to be buyers here, has anybody here ever actually consigned some book to Heritage and can tell us what kind of fees they had to actually pay? I can maybe shed some light on this. I've consigned twice with Heritage, this one I am presenting was the 1st time I consigned with them, still trying to locate my most recent auction settlement. Again, this is a case by case basis. I'm sure elite consignors get a better % rate. But anyways, about 16% was deducted for seller's fees with 0% buyer's fees that I negotiated with at that time.

Awesome movie! Really blew my expectations out the water.. Now I really want those exclusive Jordan Spider-man shoes Miles was wearing.

1.5

I think the Tec #2 went for right around I thought the value should be

#2

Tec #1 sold for $32,500. With 25% premium = $40,625!!! Wow didn't expect it to go that high

Around $25-30k I would think

I'll be there

Since the thieves tried selling it at a comic shop, I hope the shop has video cameras around to identify the thieves. Hope the owner gets his books back too. Just surprise why he would store them in a storage locker. With a collection like that, a household safe and a bank safety deposit box is probably the best.

Back then there was rarely available for sale especially unrestored copies. Probably what drove the prices to that level. That time I had serious buyer who offered something like $175 for my copy but I wouldn't take anything less than $200.

I believe the only exception it seems among collectors or investors is Marvel 1. A true Oct copy would probably sell for more than a Nov copy.
