It's a good idea, when only considering ourselves. However, in practice it would alienate most non UK buyers who are hard enough to sell to from here as it is.

 

Unless I completely mis-read you post and you simply meant discussion thread which may be nice.

 

You read correctly. Maybe a Selling from the UK topic would then be better. So we would benefit from the low cost of shipping but if anyone from the states or elsewhere was interested they could buy also. You just never see people from the UK selling and I would love to see more and I think this would help greatly.

 

I have previously raised this very issue: UK selling forum

 

Reaction was mixed tbh.

Is the issue not wanting to sell abroad, which I can understand, or not feeling like the other UK boardies are paying enough attention when other UK boardies are selling?

 

Personally I like the idea, I have tried selling on here quite a few times and it has been a bit of a disaster. The only way to get US boardies to bite is to sell so cheaply it's not worth your while.

I am, certain they charge return shipping, If I am right it is the same as normal charges and used to be something like

 

1-2 books: $60

3-5 books: $80

6-10 books: $100

 

but it's based on weight so could be more or less.

 

This was over a year ago so may now be different

If UK boardies have something they want to sell, I have no objection to being contacted by round robin PM. I may not be interested in all of them, but it wouldn't bother me to receive the Initial pm.

 

Would this be a possible solution?

So basically you get first dibs on all our books :baiting:

 

Seriously though, How about a group PM, where UK boardies can put books up for say first before they try the open forum (shrug)

The thing to keep in mind is that US buyers can usually find most books in the US for sale so it's quicker and easier for them to pick them up locally.

 

Having said that, I've been selling on the boards for a long time now (and Nick and Andy have been selling here longer) and I sell far more to the US than the UK. I've had very successful selling threads and sold lots through PM's, the main thing is knowing if the comics that you're selling are likely to attract US buyers. More valuable books will sell because the buyer is more likely to pay higher postage for them, lower value books aren't likely to attract international sales because the shipping will probably be more than the comics are worth.

like above i think a group PM to all us in UK should be ok, if anyone objects just dont send to them

 

You can count me in on this. Always happy to buy on this side of the Atlantic and I agree, 9 times out of ten, it's not cost effective for U.S. boardies to buy from us.
