This is from an add on the CGC main site. It looks like a decent alternative to Ebay, but I was wondering if any of you have input on them. Any insight or information on these guys would be greatly appreciated.

I've sold books for store credit, and for cash. They pay quickly, (with in a month). Also i really like their auction. Anything you list that sells over $100 you pay no consignment fee. Anything that sell under $100 its 10%.

I believe they are a member here. There was a thread talking about their July acution a week or so ago.

 

I also found this using the search function:

 

http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=4953594&fpart=1

 

My personal experience - great prices and shipping costs but sub par grading. Seemed everything was about a grade lower.

I apologize, I guess I should have clarified I'm inquiring about selling through them. But I can certainly look to them for buying as well.

I have sent in two batches of books that showed up on their want lists. All said it was about $400 worth of sales. Things went smoothly and I am thinking about sending in a 3rd batch. I would recommend doing the cash option. There is a 25% markup when buying books off of their site with store credit which pretty much cancels out and then some the 20% increase in what they pay in store credit (you can get 5% off with a keyword if you sign up for their e-mail). Their prices are pretty good imo and for certain books it is a much better option than ebay. They sell your books at the grade they pay you at. I can testify that all my books were priced according to the grade they gave them. I would definitely give a good recommendation based on my transactions.

Feel free to ask me any questions here, or call me at 512-240-2802. If you want a reference from a boardie, you can PM thegeneral. He's been consigning with us for a few months (his consignment store: http://www.mycomicshop.com/stores/thegeneral ) A number of other boardies have used us as well either for selling or consigning and are welcome to chime in if they care to.

 

For books in the $30-50 price range and higher, I think consigning with us is a better option than eBay for the following reasons:

 

- Higher visibility than eBay alone. For fixed price listings, we list your item simultaneously on mycomicshop.com and our eBay store. We get a lot of traffic to our web site, and more traffic means you make sales faster and are able to get better prices.

 

There's no cost to you for the additional exposure in our eBay store. When posting your item to eBay, we bump the price up enough to cancel out the eBay final value fee and PayPal fee, so you get your asking price on the item regardless of which venue it sells in. For example, if your asking price was $100, it would be listed on MCS for $100 and posted to our eBay store at $116. If it sold on eBay the extra $16 would cover the eBay costs and you'd be paid based on your $100 asking price, same as if it sold on MCS for $100. Our consignments sell about one-third through eBay and two-thirds through mycomicshop.com, so the extra visibility on eBay does benefit you.

 

- Lower fees. No listing fees. Items sold for under $100 have a 10% commission with a minimum of $5. The commission is 0% on items sold for $100 or more through the end of 2011. In October I'll announce updated rates for the first part of 2012, but my plan is for our commission to be no more than 10%, with higher priced items having lower rates. These rates apply to both fixed price and auction sales.

 

- You eliminate the time and expense of making separate shipments to each buyer, instead making just one shipment to us. Plus you don't have the labor of scanning and listing your items. I know a lot of eBay sellers don't really factor in their own time as an expense, but they should.

I just sent them 9 Long boxes of moderns this week (nothing good enough to consign).. it just arrived at their store.. fingers crossed that it got there safely. I went with the store credit since I knew I would just turn around and spend it there. Can't really complain.. they even covered the shipping through UPS.

I'm assuming this comment is because of a perception that we're primarily a venue for lower priced books? It's true that by quantity we sell far more lower priced comics, but that doesn't mean we don't also sell plenty of higher end comics.

 

Here are recent sales for Captain Marvel. A lot of lower grade, but also more expensive higher grade:

No slight intended and yes, I could be more informed as to what books you are moving and your list is helping a long way towards that. However, that list of sales is only half informative as there is no way to know how long the books have been in inventory. Liquidity is both price and speed.

 

The books ArmyParatrooper is trying to consign are nice and 0% commission sure is a great feature for now.

I just sold a high-value comic in there last auction. I'm pleased with the results. I got $100 bucks more than I would have trying to sell it through eBay, before someone sabotaged the auction with a huge bid and never paid. And no fees whatsoever. You can't beat that.

mycomicshop, I'm going to give the CGC board just a tad more time to pick up a book or two from me. After that they're yours. I called and they said I need to submit what I'm selling for approval. Mine are all 8.0, 8.5 and one 9.0

 

Should I go through the normal process? I assume I need to make an account?

You should take it to a PM.
