Beige Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Just looked - Saga is a bit higher than $100 - oops. Still $145 means even better value for those still holding some (not me).! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underground44 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 It is its just every one has one up and I understand moving on to next flip or needing the cash but it has to hurt at that price. I never understand the rush to throw cash away. Sure, if the book/movie is rubbish - take what you can get - RIPD is the best example of that - I'm happy to get $10 tbh. The film stank. However with other Books, It has to be better to wait surely, and let the readership grow? Peter Panzerfaust, Saga and Revival are good examples, $400, $100 and $45 respectively. I'm more than happy to turn a $18 commitment (book + slabbing+ postage) into $45+ any day of the week. I have listed some EoW, but at my price, and if they don't sell, I'm in no rush. People are very canny to snap up these CGC issues for $18 while the glut is on. Next year you would hope after 12 issues, this should be a steady $40 - $50 book all day long. $18 to slab? super duper dealer discount? at non fast track, im at 14.40 plus $5 invoice and around $20 return shipping fedex. im looking at $20 per to break even, not even counting the price of the book. $18 even with return shipping to aus? Depends whether you buy your books from the U.S. and have them directly submitted for you then sent back to Australia - that's the cheapest option. But you still get charged for that. If you get them pressed there's obviously a charge also. I'd have to make at least $28 to break even here in Aus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup $14.40 pr. book for slabbing, $2.10 for the actual book (cover price $3.50 with a 40% discount), $0.15 for the invoice fee (on a 30 book sub) ... so on a 30 book invoice it's only costing you around $1.50/book to get it shipped from Australia to CGC and then back again to Australia?

the authority Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Read the description to this. http://www.midtowncomics.com/store/dp.asp?PRID=EAST+OF+WEST+%239_1298703 How cool does this sound ? I thought this would happen further down the road. This makes me think the EOW universe is going to be much larger than I anticipated just a short time ago.
