With CC and CL both having monthly auctions AND event auctions 3 or 4 times a year AND HA having weekly auctions AND event auctions...it's just a lot - not to mention all the other sites.  No one wants to put their top bid in early so they wait.  And then they miss the end of the auction for whatever reason.  HA is much better at keeping potential bidders in the loop and their site is just so much superior...but consignors get a much lower percent of the dollar with them.  And while all of the above will advance roughly half of the estimated value (I have to say here that HA wanted to give me half the guide value - I couldn't even reply I was laughing so hard)...but it still takes months from sending the books to the company until actually getting the final check from sales.

All that said, selling on the boards seems to be the best thing for all involved.

I simply shake my head in disbelief at all of the rationalizing and debating about what should and should be counted in the cost of a comic.  People, please.  I pay an amount for something.  It's what I paid.  It doesn't matter to a purchaser if the money goes to a company's rent, a company's salaries, to the actual owner of the consignment, to the state collecting sales tax, or anything else.  How is this confusing?  If I am willing to pay $1000 for a comic book, then that's what should be reported.  What I paid.  To arbitrarily lessen that amount because some piece of the $1000 is going to a tax collector makes no sense.  It MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.  If I'm willing to pay $1000 for something, then that's what it's worth to me.  There is nothing more to discuss.  If GPA portends to report what comic books have sold for, then they should report what they sold for and not some arbitrarily reduced figure.  This really isn't complicated.

The American culture of adding sales tax at the register has contributed to this nonsensical discussion.  We think of the "cost" of an item and the "tax" on the item as separate entities.  It's really a brilliant piece of PR by the state.  Notice when you buy a candy bar in the UK that's advertised at 2 pounds, lo and behold, you pay 2 pounds at the register.  Not that they don't have sales tax - it's just included in the advertised price.  I guess we should just deduct the buyer's and seller's premiums as well from a GPA reported sale since they're not the amount you're actually bidding.  And if you're not accounting for the premiums, the sales tax, the shipping, etc. when you bid on something at HA or elsewhere, well....you know what they say about a fool and his money.

Beauty of a bondage cover

I'll take this.

Yep.  I've been paying it for at least a year now in CA.  9% can be a pretty penny on some of those purchases.  Seriously, the least they could do is include it in GPA data.

Looks like some decent bids for the ones tonight. Might not have hurt them to much

I completely forgot to put the MTs on my watch list and now poof! they're gone.  Can anyone tell me what the 19(s) went for?

Fight Comics 67 (Fiction House/March 1950) 4.0 VG OW-W

 

Tiger Girl and her striped pal are fixing to tear those poachers a new one.

GCD surmises the cover is by Kamen, Forte and the Iger Shop. Cover's got nice gloss but a firm subscription crease that barely breaks color, along with a couple of tiny edge tears. There's a spine roll, but the staples and pages look great.

 

$60

I'll take this.
