I seriously don't know how their eBay feedback is as high as it is considering the number of people who have had problems with them. Everything from severe over grading, bad packaging, wrong books in order, lost books, never shipping the order. You name it, they've done it. Obviously they're doing something right because they've lasted a long time and made it through the difficult periods but its certainly not due to their online services. They listed an Action Comics 242 on ebay as a VG+ which I was interested in so I asked for actual scans of the book. They sent pics of a book in complete tatters. It was nowhere close to VG+. I asked them how they came to this grade and they responded by saying the original book had been sold so they chose this copy in its stead. That experience coupled with their ebay feedback and boardie experiences I would never purchase a book from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never was interested to do business after visiting their site and browsing through the dreamland prices but that just put the icing on the cake for me. Atrocious. comicquant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bababooey Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 For comparison I bought SA Amazing Spider-Man 5 and 6 from MCS's inventory, both were graded 4.0 and both came back a grade higher than the MCS grade when CGC'd on-site in Buffalo.

newshane Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) I'm starting to wonder if they are a front for a money laundering operation. It's clear they don't want to sell books. I visited their main store a few years ago and you could have heard crickets chirping. I also asked the guy working the desk where they kept their E.C.s and he gave me a blank stare like he didn't know what I was talking about.

That explains why insect damage is permissible in Mile High's grading criteria for their NM comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Man Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Curious what will happen to his place, more particularly his business model, once Chuck passes on (face it, we are all on this temporary journey). If he is leaving this to family members, do you think they will just liquidate it and get out, or try to keep it going. Perhaps they know he has a hoarding problem, and don't want to address the elephant in the room when he is around. Personally, his asking prices are a laugh, their grading is sketchy at best, and they are not the only game in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. Probably better to just avoid them all together. comicquant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1950's war comics Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Mileshigh is really bad but my LCS could give Chuck a run for his money as far as unrealistic prices go..... ThothAmon, FoggyNelson, AC813 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you can find reasonable prices on books but most of the time they are 3 to 4 times over priced. Its out of MCS control as consignors set their own prices. The one good thing going for them is strict grading. Von Cichlid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
