I recently bought a large bronze/copper/modern
collection of just over 800 comics. Almost all the comics were in VF+ and most
of the modern books were NM or better. I have split them into 102 eight packs
in a variety of price ranges. All packs will be sold for well below the
estimated value.
Price guide says this 8 pack has a value of about $54: I
say we don’t need no steenking price guides. 8 packs do not combine shipping
with other types of listings. There is however a huge combined shipping
discount for multiple 8 pack purchases. One pack pays $8 shipping, 2-6, eight
packs pay $16 shipping. If you want to purchase more than 6 eight packs at one
time please inquire for the shipping discount.
Postage
bonus: Look, I hate paying shipping as much as you do.
Postal regulations are clear. Comic books (unlike graphic novels) may not be shipped via media mail
because they contain advertising. I know many people ignore this rule, but they
are subject to a $500 fine if they are caught more than once (the first one is
a warning). Think about it. If I were the type of person who ripped off the
post office, wouldn’t I also be the type of person who would rip you off? I am
not that guy. 1 8-pack will mail in a flat rate priority envelope. 2-6 eight
packs will mail in a priority mail flat rate box or via standard priority mail,
whichever is cheaper. Here is what I am going to do to make the “shipping pill”
a little easier to swallow. I recently
bought the entire remaining stock of the fanzine Charlton Spotlight from the
estate of the deceased publisher. I have issues 4, 6, 7, 8, and Spotlight
Comics #1. These are still packed in boxes from the printer and are NM with
only minor curling due to the way they were stacked in the boxes. If you want
to take a look at them, I have a complete set listed on eBay. If you order 1
eight pack, I will include a free Fanzine. If you order 2 eight packs, I will
include 2 free zines. For every pack you order up to a total of 5, I will
include a free zine. I am selling these zines at $7-$9 plus postage (at or
below cover price), or $25 plus postage for the lot, so the value of every free
zine you get should offset or more than offset the cost of any 8 pack postage
charges!
Purchase
Bonus: Every 5th order I sell gets a free (probably
modern) comic from my overstock. Every 10th order gets a free comic
with a 10 cent, 12 cent or 15 cent cover price (These are mostly old gold key
comics). Orders 25, 50, 75, and 102 get a free slabbed comic mailed at my
expense.
Value:
These
books were valued with the 53rd edition of the Overstreet Price
Guide, but if you like a treasure hunt, have I got news for you! I
DID NOT take into account, newsstand editions on older books, 2nd
printings, variant covers, key issues, hot books or signed copies. So some
of the 8 packs are worth far more than the listed approximate value. Use those
detective skills and have fun hunting for special features on the books in each
pack.
My intent here was to list “mystery boxes” with every
comic revealed. I will list these 8 packs on auction once, re-list those that
do not sell again. Any left thereafter will go to my store. ALL bonuses will
apply until every 8 pack is gone. Email me with any questions & have fun.
