Then the buyer has to quote the original listing like Conditionfreak was saying. No other talk in it besides selling and sold


This is what I would prefer.

And just a thought, if someone buys only one book, maybe make it $6.50?

Thoughts? We have time to iron this out.

Some people my want to sell multiple slabs so that would be tough. I'd be cool with the buyer basically promising to pay the shipping price for whatever was it was shipped; email em a picture of the receipt from the Post Office if they don't trust you. Can't agree? but it back on the market


You may be onto something. Buyer says how he wants it shipped, if insured or not etc, and pays actual cost.

Someone needs to be designated as the mod for the sales. And kind of set the rules, monitor the thread, etc

Each seller would need to keep track of their own sales.

Now, just asking, should each seller run their own thread?

We could all do it in one, but different shipping prices could complicate things.

That seems to be the hangup. I'm still thinking one thread, "take it" has to be quoted with the book, and sellers need to post ship price along with every book

Should we limit the top asking price? Like having a bunch of posts of expensive books that don't sell would muddy things up. Like a $25 or $50 max per lot or something like that? Cf's sale did so well because most books were $5 or $10

Not a bad idea, but What will really muddy it is if people start posting books at or above fmv, stuff anyone can jump on ebay and buy anytime at that price. That stuff wont sell.

Just a small preview, I planned on posting a book worth abt $300 for SIGNIFICANTLY less just to keep it fun 😁

Any other sellers wanna chime in here?

Ya I want to buy a bunch of cheap books and sell the same. I think that is what other people are looking to do as well?
Post 64 IP   flag post
Collector 00slim private msg quote post Address this user
Yeah. Most of mine are $10-$20. I had one thing I was considering for $60. I doubt we'll need a separate $50+ thread.

so a $5 book has to include the shipping cost. So there wont be any combined shipping?

Collector Jeremy_K private msg quote post Address this user
So many people will be on this combined thread that doing a flash sale will be nuts just post your books for sale and the price. Then work out the shipping cost when your done. No overcharging on shipping what it costs is what you pay.

No what he means is every post should include the shipping terms as well so it is clear

Can this be an ongoing thread? I don't think everyone is on the same time zone so hard for everyone to post same time

This is going to be difficult. I was one seller, with one shipping price. And still, there were mix-ups and confusion.

Partly due to the site apparently not being able to handle the numerous quick postings in the order in which they were made. Although it (the site) apparently did get them correct in the end.

Anther problem is, that if KingNampa (just using him as an example), buys one book from me. One book from slim. Two books from Hooby-Dooby, etc. That is a LOT of money for shipping charges. Six $5 or $10 books, for a total shipping cost of $70+ dollars (to Hawaii).

This could become known as Hurricane CBCS.

Just sayin'

I would participate for community sake, but I think it is a bridge too far.

Should we stagger this?

I sell on Tuesday form an hour.

Someone else sells for the next hour?

The rules are set for each individual's slot prior to the sale?

Draft for new thread let me know what you think:

Title: Community Sale Thread

Description:

This thread will be used exclusively for posting comics for sale and users accepting said sales. No discussions allowed, no complaints about prices, etc.

Guidelines For sellers (must be in every post):

1. Post picture of item for sale (single or lot ok).
2. Include Sale price, payment terms and shipping terms
3. Reasonable description of condition either grade point or grade (I.e. VF Or 8.0)
4. Keep prices very reasonable. We want sales to move fast. Overpricing items, won't sale and will muddy up the thread.
5. After item has been sold, complete transaction off the thread via messenger, etc.

Guidelines for buyers:
1. First buyer to reply with some form of "I'll take it" gets the item.
2. Must quote the seller's post or clearly state which item you are taking so it is clear.
3. NO BACKING OUT. if you take it you must buy it.

@KingNampa looks great to me. The only thing I would say is that positive light discussion as was the case in CF sale, would be allowed.

IE keep the negative and any arguments off the thread

We are expecting a lot of sellers to post stuff. I don't we can allow discussion as we did in cf's thread

You may be right. Save the discussion to the end.

Maybe The Watcher or Jesse could chime in here, would it be possible to have extra mod help on this to immediately clean out any BS if it happens?

Let's just give it a shot. Can start the thread today and see how it goes. If it goes smoothly great, badly can just give up.

Any other suggestions for rules or changes to my draft?
