It always nice when boardies offer advice on shipping. Especially when they are experts.

Holy god have mercy :facepalm:

 

The ole' Wolverine 66 diatribe over in Modern was a master-stroke in wankery

 

Do you have a link to that?

 

Old Man Logan Wolverine vol 3 #66 going thru dat roof! ebay

 

What's the average price now for a NM?

 

$25-30 currently, but not many NM copies are up currently unless they are in a set which is also selling really well.

 

Its similar to what will happen to Planet Hulk 92 in the next year or two I think. Great story with great lead in issue.

I thought Panet Hulk was pretty much canned as a movie concept for the next Hulk solo film, and replaced with Perez's original 2 part Future Imperfect?

 

Wolverine 66 isn't really a super hot book...yet....and it's cooled off since it initially was talked about as the next Wolvie movie theme a few months back.

 

I subbed a copy at Baltimore and got a 9.6 on it, didn't press it as I was short on time and thought it had a good shot at a 9.8.

 

Took a few weeks to sell it on eBay via BIN at $89.99 + shipping....started at below what a Canadian ebay seller had it at that time, who had the only CGC 9.6's on ebay at the time....he had it priced pretty damn high at like $124.95 + $20-ish shipping.

 

He had 2 CGC 9.6's, last time I checked, neither had sold.

 

IIRC, I sold mine via BIN at $70 or so, with free (Diamond comic boxed/bubblewrapped to death)media mail shipping.Since then, I've cut out media mail shipping on slabs and switched over to larger (flat rate medium priority boxes are not big enough to provide adequate protection for even a single slabbed book and local post offices don't usually offer the bigger USPS priority boxes, gotta order them from usps.com.Regression aside....

 

The buyer was stoked, gave me a + feedback soon as it arrived.

 

I have a few other 9.6 and 9.8 candidates....which I have been hoarding BUT if I sub them this coming weekend at Big Apple, I'll press them beforehand....and sell any raw copies I have hoarded that I can't get at least 9.6's out of, for about $30.

 

From what I see on eBay,a solid NM 9.0 9.4 raw sells for around $20-$40...depending on scan quality + shipping prices,...that is what I'd price the 1-2 copies I have that have a couple light CB spine tics and/or slightly blunted corners.

 

In other words, it seems like raw 9.0's to 9.4's with un-pressable defects are worth an average price of $20-35.That is what I will price my 9.29.4 copies at, at Big Apple.....the cost of selling raw books like a raw NM 9.0,raw 9.2 or raw 9.4 isn't worth the time involved with scanning, posting on ebay etc.....and then (and additional expense of shipping out a 2 pound box via priority b/c I ship out raw books in M2's + 2 full backs + 2 BCW boards....then sheathed in a M2/Full Back silver/gold combo, on a sheet of cardboard...slid into a bubblewrap mailer, packed into a large box with bubblewrap...., which the buyer has to factor into the price of a book.

 

The question at hand was literally "are Wolverine 66 prices rising?"

 

 

 

 

Some people answer the question while other people just, well....

This cracked me up… Not saying it's always the case, but Hector is an acute observer. :lol:

 

The classic CAK Post consists of five parts

 

1 - agree and disagree with the post that is quoted

 

2 - confirm a previous sale/listing on eBay (may or may not be relevant)

 

3 - give yourself props or share feedback from a buyer

 

4 - mention your shipping practices (may or may not include a reference to mylites or fullbacks)

 

5 - list upcoming shows that you'll be selling at

 

you forgot

 

6 - mention current inventory with possible grades and future plans for said inventory

Yup. That's why I suggested that Joey read through the thread. Hector (and Darkstar) nailed it. (thumbs u

 

 

They nailed it, carefully placed two pieces of microchamber paper on it , front and back, placed it within a mylite 2 mil with acid free buffered fullbacks, again front and back, placed that mylite into a 4 mil mylar, placed that into an acid free archival top loader, and then into a microwave signal blocking foil padded envelope, into a lead lined concrete box (constructed with 3/4" galvanized rebar, and shot that biatch into space......

I don't want to betray all of their trade secrets....but I do believe a significant (almost unbelievable) amount of sheathing was employed.

I‘d give it an A+++++ eBay feedback even before it arrives!

Whenever I sell a book that is pieced together I fully disclose the book as such. As I did with the action 23 that was posted last week. What I do not do is trim, color touch or restore books. If there is primitave resto I can remove without causing harm, that I will do. In case of this s cap, I fully disclosed the piece was removed. I did miss the missing piece in the interior. There was a better way to notify me rather than post on my thread, but you've had a vendetta against me for some time it seems.

I would love to chat about it at comic art con if you're attending.

 

lolClearly you can't be trusted. I avoid your sales threads and I'm sure I'm not alone.

 

+1 (Lack of full disclosure from a greedy flipper who rationalizes away scenarios = Ignore)

 

Speaking of ignore, it's always interesting seeing who has you on ignore, especially when you don't know of any specific issue or problem between the two of you, and you've done business with before and met in person.

 

I suppose, however, when you take strong stands and make your opinion known, people will be bound to have problems with it.

 

Curiosity, of course, plays a part, because you want to know what it was that you said or did, but generally, you don't find out.

 

Oh well.

just randomly wanted to say that I love when someone posts that they are buying a house and need to sell some books and then list like $10 books that are between $5-10...

what kind of house are you moving into that $50 will help that much?

 

playhouse.jpg

 

And I love it when people read the description which states, "I'm trying to sell so I won't have as much to move." It literally has nothing about raising money for the house in the description. :makepoint:

 

Good joke, though lol

I think that conversation has already ruined Wolverine III for me since I will now associate that storyline with what I have read in that thread.
