Popular Post PKJ Posted October 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) Had some DC wins this past CL auction, but most have lost the shipping bid, don't think I have ever paid that much for shipping with them. Buyer premium (3%) = $128.52 (discounted if paid by 10-18-2022)Shipping & Handling = $167 Edited October 4, 2022 by PKJ F For Fake, Nazirite, Tec-Tac-Toe and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocSaum Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 They charged you almost $200 to ship two books?? Are they shipping separately and do they come with fifty dollars bills in the packing box? PKJ and Funnybooks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past I have had over 20 books not be that much, I thought it was an error and connected with them, apparently rates were raised based off of what they shared, the last 3 auctions were not nearly as high though.

Ah got it. Still high for sure but at about $12/book not that unreasonable just yet either. PKJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the CGC FedEx rates. What you paid CL was comparable if they totaled over $50k. PKJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzetta Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 Won two books… value combined slightly over $1,200. Shipping $50 ? Express $65 ? At that point they should just personally drive them to Long Island and hand deliver them 😂. Next post… apparently I am bidding and buying in my sleep. 🤦🏻♂️ nearmint, F For Fake and Tec-Tac-Toe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured I was being punished for winning a Fish police book with the rest of the books. Edited October 7, 2022 by PKJ F For Fake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it is the old "Handling Fee", as I have not purchased from them in 13 or more years. Dr. Balls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won 2 books...value of a little over $1000. Charged me $50 for shipping. Just sent them an email expressing my displeasure. I know it won't do any good, but it made me feel better.

I had asked another board member about this and he believes it is due to the insurance they must take out on packages now. To be fair though they are still much better than what others are doing. I spoke to Heritage about something to do with their shipping and Fed Ex and I was advised to call Client Services. When it comes to Fed Ex and Comiclink I can redirect their packages to Walgreens or have them hold it at a Fed Ex location. I cannot do that with Heritage and it is getting to the point that I may have to stop even looking at their listings if I can no longer depend on receiving them at my convenience and peace of mind.

Popular Post F For Fake Posted October 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2022 Still beating the nostalgia drum, I ended up winning more than expected at CLink. Lots of drek that hits the teenage feelings. Definitely been in an Art Adams mood lately, and I think the New Mutants Special may be my favorite cover of his, period. I have several raws, but it's nice to have a slab. Also ended up winning the X-Men Annual 14, an old label. I don't care about Gambit at all, but I have always liked this cover, so I'm glad prices have come down enough for me to pay what I wanted for the book. I posted several cheap ALiens slabs in the Copper Age Dark Horse thread. Ended up spending a lot on a bunch of junk, but it's junk I like!

There are people bidding ridiculous amounts on mediocre and lower tier books. There was a GI Joe 9.8 that went for almost a few thousand the other day and people were celebrating it as if there is new money or new recognition given for certain books. Personally, I suspect someone is just looking for a place to dump money. We have seen it before where someone uses the collectables hobby to launder or hide money. djpinkpanther67 and BriD. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
