Poka Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) I bought from them once when their usual 30% discount brought prices on some books closer to market. shipping took a month and no books were bagged nor boarded. They might have been NM when they were shipped. Edited June 4, 2017 by Poka Spelling comicquant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01TheDude Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'm with Oakman on this-- we needed another MileHigh thread like a hole in the head (or ebay complaint thread). At this point-- these threads are more like a public service announcement to be wary in dealing with this company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tv horror Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I live in Ireland but have seen his vast warehouse of stock, how much of his inventory is valuable and what if he did liquidate them unto the open market what would happen then? I tend to agree about the accident theory. Lately I've noticed on these boards that "DREK" is nearly worthless and people are finding it harder to sell it for the amounts spent originally making them a loss. What was the bronze age price, 50 cents or so well maybe you could make a profit if you bought them new at the time but imagine modern issues you would have no chance, maybe that's why the companies are having falling sales.

Yep there are a few threads about people having multiple long boxes of drek that can't even be given away Lucky Baru, FoggyNelson and ComicConnoisseur 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Cool Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Donating or giving away drek is not a big deal. I've given away a short box every Halloween, a few long boxes to kids at my last big Con I set up at or just leaving it beside the road during trash pick up day with a free sign on it. Getting someone to pay shipping for drek is not easy so I can see where people think they can't give it away. STORMSHADOW_80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately many who treasure drek do not have an empty garage or an unused spare room to store 20+ multiple long boxes, or even the pick-up to haul them ComicConnoisseur and FoggyNelson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThothAmon Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Seems to me Chuck's whole business model is to make up for the loss with volume. Let's face it he made oodles of dough by lowballing the Church collection and flipping it into millions of most likely drek books, pottery, feeding the poor and cross dressing. I remember fondly perusing Mile High's for sale ads in bronze Marvels. Think he was selling Hulk 181's for $20 back then. He's an interesting guy that always seems able to make payroll and that's saying something. STORMSHADOW_80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
