You send stuff to CGC from Austrailia? That's gotta up the cost per book by a bit!

 

Yup - but there are a few obliging boardies who offer a pick-up, pre-screen, pressing service plus transport to CGC..

So theres 20% off the fee as they get that discount.

I send in bulk to keep the postage down.

But yeah - I have to be quite on the ball with purchases as a mistake can be costly.....

 

How much does it cost you guys for each comic at CGC?

 

I live in FL so shipping there is slightly cheaper but cgc shipping back is standard regardless of where it's going so no savings there. Depends on how many I send in at a time. My last shipment in was 12 comics and came out to about 350 so about $30 per comic. Obviously sending in more would bring it down but i'm not in it to make big $. If I can pick up an extra copy or two and sell it to offset the cost of the copy I keep, then I'm happy.

 

EDIT: This is fast-track cost. I sent some in beginning of July non-fast tracked and i'm regretting it cause I don't think i'll be getting those back till mid-november.

 

Fair enough - I'm pretty much the same but would have to send say 10 of a good title to ensure the books I keep are paid for.

Thats if it all goes well..

Anyone want 30 Alpha Girl #1's??

The cost for me is postage plus $14.50 per book so seems about the same then really.

Thats why bulk postage is cheaper - especially here in Australia as USA post is frickin expensive!

Which is cheaper?

Fed-Ex or USPS or are there any other types.

I am even exploring pre-paid or account postal options as its the post thats the killer.

Expensive, yet still losing 5 Billion per year. :insane:

 

Fed-Ex/UPS are usually close. Fed-Ex is usually cheaper to ship to a business. UPS usually cheaper to ship to a personal residence. At least in my experience.

 

EDIT: I just realized you said Fed-Ex or USPS, not UPS. USPS is way cheaper than Fed-Ex.

The news of the 2nd print just plain sucks. Is the rumor that this is a limited series true? I'd really like to know so I can decide whether to slab books now, look for SS opportunities, pick up a copy of the CBLDF variant, etc. Thanks!

yeah, but at least it isn't coming for over 2 weeks. in the meantime, hopefully the regular covers will gain a little value. the last two sold on ebay sold for just over cover at least.

Lostpike said they had some of the regular issues left. Just the variants sold out.

 

And I'm sure yours are 8.0's, lol. I'll be getting my 9.8's back from CGC next week.

 

Who is lostpike? Do we have competition?? :slapfight:

 

 

Yes. Yes you do
