mycomicshop or ha for consignment 1 1

[aleksicwon]

Which is better to consign with , Heritage Auctions or MyComicShop . I assume MyComicShop but maybe I assume wrong ?

The difference on commission is not much .

Unless you have worked out a special deal with Heritage, the percentage between the two is a huge difference.  As far as which place is better?  That would depend on what you have to consign.

What is the buyer's premium at MCS?  HA is pretty steep.

Here is what MyComicShop posted in a thread in comics general.

"Fees with us are 8-10% seller's commission, and the 3% buyer's is usually waived to 0% for anything expensive because buyers are paying by check or bank transfer. And for anything around $12.5K or above our $1000 cap kicks in, pushing the effective percentage lower and lower the higher the sale price. Versus Heritage is what, 15% seller and 20% buyer?

No , it is 10% for consignment . What you are quoting is auction rates . Seems to be a confusion between what is consignment and what is auction .

10% fee for direct sales :

Anyway , what bothers me , is I want to sell on mycomicshop and keep the winnings as credit to buy a big key  
but everything is overpriced and the auctions are not very good , not likely I will find what I want .

On the other hand , I won't have that problem on HA but not sure how easy it is to sell there .

If everything on MCS is over-priced, that seems to be the place to sell your books.  Take the cash and buy wherever you find the books you want for the price you want.

I am not going to overprice my book ; i want to just get a quick sale on my books and fair price .

In my experience the overpriced things at MCS tend to be the ones on consignment! Your books will be overpriced only if you overprice them.

The value of the item(s) you wish to consign may actually limit your options.  Do not expect Heritage to list a $10 or $20 book as a stand-alone item.  At HA, low-value merchandise is moved in multi-book lots only.  MCS is way more flexible in this respect.

The conversation will be less circular if you give some examples of the type of consignments you are contemplating
