| Anyone expect some realllllly good deals in the early June auctions? I see some early bid-ups on a few AF15 copies on CC. Odd strategy. |

 Feel free to use my post as a checklist.

| @GAC You know what else will blow your mind? We use to have "Fractional currency" also... about 125 years ago... a paper bill that represents 50 cents, 25 cents, 5 cents. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2303516.m570.l1311&_nkw=fractional+currency&_sacat=0 |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nearmint67 It did cross my mind… and I have seen more fail-to-close auction outcomes (bidders not actually buying what they won). It seems egregious on the AF15 books that have otherwise been soft recently. Just odd timing… early June has a ton of risk. |

| Anyone else collect watches? I mentioned some parallels with comics a while back but this is a good article on how that market behaved over the last few years. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/hype-watch-2022 |

| So I'm going to submit comics for grading, and there's two options. One for Comics, the other for Magazines. If I want to submit a single oversized book (Action Force #1) with my order, can I just put it in with the comics and CBCS will break it out once they receive the books? |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nearmint67 It’s the thing I can use to time stuff without having Siri or Alexa or “…” replace my “two” with a “three” or generally fail me at the worst time due to insufficient charge :-) In all seriousness, I consider some watches (like certain cars) “mechanical art”… craftsmanship, innovation, practicality, usefulness, uselessness all in various (interesting) combinations. I also have the very first Apple Watch with the “limited” stainless bracelet (hated wearing the thing) AND just recently got the newest version (much more useful). So not a true luddite. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Davethebrave I haven't worn a watch for many years, but when I did, I considered it to be my only accessory...like the only piece of jewelry for a man who doesn't pierce or wear bracelets and necklaces. Typically, I think guys will choose something that is symbolic...representative of how they perceive themselves or how they want others to perceive them. |

Bronte private msg quote post Address this user | |
| So I was mistaken. My buddy wants to liquidate all but a few sentimental books. I suggested to him mycomicshop.com for raw and graded books. I offered to look over his lists to try and identify keys. But any suggestions on how to get rid of books for a person that doesn't grade is greatly appreciated. He says he has runs and series. I know he took good care of his books. Always air-conditioned and locked in a room where his kids never had access to them. (Not that they showed any interest in the books) bagged and boarded etc... I would offer to post them on forums, but my grading is not accurate, and that is a prerequisite of selling on forums. |

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia I collect (and wear) a variety of watches that are pretty different from one another. Consistent themes are aesthetically pleasing while still being functional. Cuz ya know I need to be able to time hot laps, read several time zones while piloting a wide-body on a transatlantic flight, and then do some free diving in the Maldives. |

| @Bronte what’s the harm with posting and then giving a grade estimate with photos and the obvious caveat? Have the asking prices set high enough that your friend is covered and then let them entertain offers and further follow-up. |

Quote:Originally Posted by HeinzDad I think @Bronte would possibly be overly critical of the grades out of an abundance of caution. Maybe a way around that would be to first open a "Grade My..." thread and get forum opinions of the grades. Then use that grade range for stated grade to determine pricing and open a sales thread. |
