I do not think it's cool for you to advertise your service on this thread

 

You mean like you advertise your eBay auctions in your sig line every time you post?

 

Someone asked a question about Lonestar's auctions and Lonestar gave them the answer - nothing wrong with that.

how is this cool on this thread....
Agreed, about mycomicshop at least. The auctions always go way higher than you can get elsewhere. I always wondered why. Not too familiar with Mile High though, haven't really heard anything goood about them, only bad, so I have kept my distance and looked elsewhere

 

Can someone PM with mycomicshop auction advice for sellers? I'm not sure the process/fees/etc

 

I agree 100% regarding BIN being the way to go on eBay. I throw in a best offer most times because I tricked myself into thinking that more people look at BIN/obos than straight BINs even though I have zero factual evidence

 

Brad, you can PM me, or call me at 512-240-2802 if you have any questions. There's a lot of info here: mycomicshop consignment info

 

Fees are:

10% for sales up to $300, minimum $5 per item

8% for sales $300-3000

6% sales over $3000

 

No listing fees or any other costs to you.

 

You can list either as fixed price or in our monthly auction. Commissions are the same for both formats. If fixed price, you control your pricing. Items you list as fixed price are listed simultaneously on our web site and our eBay store. The eBay listings are free to you--we cover the listing fees, and we bump the eBay price up just enough to cancel out the final value fee if it sells on eBay.

 

We only do auctions on our own site, none on eBay. Auctions are indeed riskier than fixed price, but in general stuff in our auctions gets a strong percentage of market price/GPA/retail compared to other auction venues. As others have noted, we have a sizable customer base of buyers that use us but don't look at eBay very often, so sometimes auction prices on our site can go higher than on eBay. Raw books do well through us, because buyers know us and like our grading, versus you listing them yourself on eBay, where buyers tend to distrust the grading from unknown eBay sellers.

 

The process is:

- You enter the books you want to consign on our web site (our web site tells you which are eligible for consignment based on expected value)

- You start a new consignment transaction and ship us the books.

- We scan everything, grade any raw books, and file them to inventory.

- As soon as they're filed, we email you. You then use a page on our web site to set prices or assign to auction. You can later change prices, or shift a fixed price book into the next auction, at any time.

- We issue payment for most books within about 10 days of the sale, and can either mail you a check or pay via PayPal.

 

 

I do not think it's cool for you to advertise your service on this thread

 

I have to disagree - I think it's very cool that online sellers of all sizes actually come on here to help clarify or explain what they do - specifically to people who ask questions. That's pretty good customer service in my book.

Customer service and Lonestar? Is that an oxy-insufficiently_thoughtful_person? lol.....last time I ordered from Lonestar, they pictured a bunch of newsstand books in their auction and shipped me regular editions. When I asked about it, the response I got was along the lines of...'tough mess'. So I was like fine, I'm never dealing with you guys again.

Futurama #1 @ $25

Miracle Man #14 VF/NM @ $10

Magnus #12 @ $9

Absolute Vertigo #1 @ $8

Gotham City Sirens #1 @ $7

I'm very surprised by the Cryptozoic Man. It has to be the show, right ? lol

 

Magnus seems cheap but I don't follow those like I once did.

Am I missing something on Absolute Vertigo #1? If I recall, it came out a few months after Preacher #1 and it's not the complete story. Are people confusing this with the Preview issue of Preacher?

What's to be confused about lol

 

It's only at $8 as opposed to a couple hundred for a raw Preacher number #1. If they bring $25-$40 I would think that's about right.

I don't see it that way. I see it answering a question in a professional way. To be honest, I have been thinking of consigning some books to them so I appreciate the response.

 

Seriously, the petty stuff people get upset with is really mind boggling.

It came out before Preacher 1 and after the Preview. $8 seems mighty cheap but it has a way to go before the end.

Couldn't appreciate the response more. I will absolutely at least give the service a trial run. Thank you!!!!

I'm not sure what made them mad about this...it wasn't an unwarranted pimping of the service. (shrug)

Yeah, it seems to be a buyer's market right now. I buy heavy almost every winter. Auctions are the majority of the stuff I buy and look at on ebay. Its just a tough time to sell and compete with the big screen TVs, new game consoles, and tablets.

 

No truer words said. I am picking up many 9.8 during the winter lull. December is the worst month to sell.

I am missing why Cryptozoic Man is hot. I bought the first issue and thought it was terrible.

 

I love this stuff. Somebody has watched the show and is going to own these books. lol

It is up to $41 and counting. Congrats to the seller.

It was was the main focus in yesterdays 'Comic Book Men' episode so for those who are fans of the show but didn't know it existed have probably run out to buy a copy today.

 

Likely to maintain or increase in value over the next fortnight or so until the show junkies either get a copy or forget about it, then prices will sink again.

You would be correct accessing that the material is god awful.

 

You would be dead balls wrong passing on it as a short term speculative play.

I am missing why Cryptozoic Man is hot. I bought the first issue and thought it was terrible.

 

You would be correct in your assessment of the content.

 

You would be dead balls wrong to have passed on this pop culture pap as a short term speculative play.

 

Last night The mid-season finale of AMC's The Walking Dead capped the first half of season four and posted gains of 29% over the first half of season 3, running against NFL football, broadcast sweeps and high-profile special events. Last night's explosive episode delivered 12.1 million viewers and 7.7 million adults 18-49.

 

I own a comic shop & can assure you that it is frequented primarily by adults 18-49.

 

Cryptozoic Man was featured prominently on Comic Book Men that aired after that ratings orgy.

 

If .001% of those 7.7 million adults 18-49 get the itch to check out Walt's book.

 

Do the math.

 

I have been selling / shipping Cryptozoic Man #1 all day for $26.99 ea on Amazon so fast my fingers are bleeding.

 

Walking Dead will return for the second half of its fourth season at 9 p.m. on Sunday, February 9.

 

Do more math.

 

It's a flip.

Plain & simple.

 

( when this book is in fifty cent bins in a year, all the CGC board geniuses will call it a failure )
