Please explain why people spend $20 to slab a books that sells for $9

[sckao]

It's very simple... You need a certain amount of books to make the pre-screen generally so you send in that amount of books. Sometimes, you will need to "fill in" an order... which means including books you know aren't "hot" but which may be the only one in the census.

 

You spend about $500 to slab 30 modern books. You sell the hot ones and moderately hot ones over a couple of months. By the end of the process, you're left with some books that haven't sold You've long since recouped your initial $500.... so now you're liquidating the dregs. If you were doing this on a monthly basis, you'd have two more CGC submissions already received and more in the pipeline... So it's a continual process.

 

The idea is to keep inventory moving. Blow out the dead weight and put it back into the kitty.

 

 

 

 

how many for the pre-screen? 30?

In general, CGC requires a 50-book submission per tier. Please call to discuss, as these guidelines are flexible and we are willing to work with our submitters to meet their needs.
