'Sup all!

 

I have been off the boards for a LLLOOOONNNGG time! I have missed this place and am thrilled to find some time to devote to comics for a bit.

 

AND I want to offer a HUGE apology to Roy of Vintage Collectibles...He paid for some books months and months ago and I thought I was current and went on with my life traveling and working and doing what I do not realizing I had never mailed his books.

 

I just realized, while cleaning the basement, that I never mailed his books. They will get shipped Monday with multiple freebies. I am SO sorry for the eff-up and I hope I can make it up to you. Roy is one of the best dudes I've met here and I consider him a comic friend. But I messed up and I know it.

 

While speed of shipping has never been my best asset, he could have probationed my sorry a$$$ multiple times over. Sorry Roy. I owe you. BIG.

 

Best to all and I hope to get more involved with these boards like I used to.

 

Night!

do a sales thread to make it up to Roy

[KKyW]

i know various sources for comic book pricing, etc., but was wondering if anyone had a good online source for market info on action figures, figurines, etc.

 

thanks for the help (thumbs u

[JazzMan]

He'd appreciate a new pair of red leather pants.

so there's a sales thread asking for 4% to cover Paypal fees...

 

arent paypal fees 2.9% plus $.30 per transaction?

 

Or is there some sort of sliding scale for bigger ballers?

I couldn't figure out if the 4% was worked in, or whether it was an add on.

"I am asking for 4% for paypal payments."

 

yeah its not 100% clear, but it sounds like the intent is 4% EXTRA.

 

So 3% for paypal and an extra 1% for the seller?

 

[seanfingh]

 

It is arduous to keep clicking all those buttons to get your money from Paypal. 1% almost doesn't seem enough.

Never understood trying to claw back PayPal fees.

[miraclemet]

maybe I'll list books super cheap but charge a 10% handling fee to got with a 8% paypal fee and a 12% Ticketmaster Service charge... oh and a $5 invoice fee.

[N/A]

Interesting plan. Make sure to list all the extra fees in the fine print

It is 4% for international I believe.

Not that I'm defending this seller since i don't even know who or what this is about.

And asking people to do math on round percentages is difficult as it is, to ask them to do math to calculate percentages with decimal points and partial percentages and then asking them to add .30 cents ON TOP of all that other math is positively sadistic.

I'd deduct 4% off that dollar for the trouble of sending it.

I'll send you a $1.04. This may turn into a sweet Ponzi scheme.

[Chi Bamm]

I'm having problems with people selling comics before they actually have them.

 

You can't even call it flipping, it's like pre meditated flipping.
