 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

| Apparently someone listed several dozen CBCS 9.8 graded comics for $1 each on MCS. Of course they all sold. I wonder if this is a massive mistake or did someone make a private deal with someone, got payment privately, then dropped the prices to $1 to avoid the 10% fee. direct link | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| I thought it was a minimum $5 fee per sale and that you owe MCS money if it sells for less than $5. Obviously you'd know a lot better than anyone here. | ||

 It's like the Roach Motel for comic collectors.

| Sounds like they thought they were setting them up for auction, but got put out at fixed price, maybe? Don't the auctions all start at $1, or is $.99??? | ||

| You don't set prices if you send them to auction. | ||

| Is it like ebay where someone just pretends they lost it or cancel the order. | ||

| My take is that it was a costly mistake by the consignor as there are books which are submitted by same person (same cbcs # except last 3 digits) which have been placed on 9/23 auction | ||

| @flanders - if you sell under $5, then MCS only charges the amount sold for. An update, now all of those sales show $999. |

| @Nearmint67 - I think not. I suspect either a booboo in listing or a purposeful circumvention of MCS sales fee with direct payment and MCS is probably unwinding either way. | ||
