I found this whilst trawling through auction house sites and remembered that a TOS 39 pence copy was mentioned a few weeks ago. This is going to go for far more than I can afford at the moment but I thought that it may be of interest to someone. www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/l-s-smellie-and-sons-ltd/catalogue-id-srls10134/lot-153112e0-4bde-4a40-ae94-a915011536d7 |

Seems like UK editions go for 15-20% less (according to GPA). Thats a nice group of comics! |

Man. That is a poorly listed collection. A great find for anyone with the extra coin. I’d throw my hat into the ring if SDCC wasn’t so close. | ||

That. Plus the currency conversion will hurt. Too bad that Avengers #4 is so rough. |

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim I think that the Pound is at its lowest against the Dollar for about 18 months (due to Brexit uncertainty) so its possibly a good rate for you to buy UK goods. Not so good for us buying US items. |

Quote:Originally Posted by QuaBrot The drop in the Pound of late has more than eaten the 27.6% commission fees. Now is the time for spending in the UK for those with the mighty Dollar. I wish I had some. |

1 Pound sterling equals 1.33 United States Dollar So if I'm reading the conversion right let's say those books were going to cost $500 pounds wouldn't I have to add $0.33 per dollar |

500 pounds = 655 dollars (500 + 33*5) | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by QuaBrot You would have had to pay $2 to "buy" a £1, now you can buy the same £1 for $1.33. If the lot went for £1000* then a while back at $2/£1 you would have paid $2000. Now you would pay $1330, a saving of $670. Works out at a saving of 33.5% which, as I said more than eats the commission that would be charged. * I think that it will go to 2x, maybe 3x that figure. EDIT. As QuaBrot posted whilst I was typing. PS. I meant this as an answer to Online209's post #11. |
