  1. The Joker was a hit, simply because it was an excellent movie. A truly great film, regardless of genre.
  2. If you were that sad you could have mailed them a chq for a couple of hundred bucks. If I buy a collection and find a big key in it after I buy it and the price is way under - I always, ALWAYS, send some extra cash their way. Pretty ordinary boasting that you got a $2-3000 book from an unknowing commission agent from a deceased estate for $2. Sending that extra $250 could have added a bit more dignity to the funeral - or even put some food on someones table. You come across as a bit of a cockwomble to be perfectly frank.
  3. And another.... No worries, thanks for your reply, and for the invoice, which I have. I just tried to pay, but for some reason eBay is automatically adding $4.92 GST on top of what you've charged. It shouldn't do that within Australia
  4. I just got cleaned out of Deadpool #30 1st appearance of Ellie Camacho apparently. Why the sudden interest?
  5. The buyer affected got back to me........ Hello,Finally got a help chat.looks like the site glitched over the weekend and domestic purchases were charged GST, they are looking into it.cheers
  6. Hahaha Ebay Australia just introduced GST without notice. I just saw it for the first time on a guys multiple purchase today. The buyer pays. I worked out it is only added to 'Brand new' designated items. 100% certain that every seller will now list 'As new' with the description "still sealed in original packing - never opened". Buyers will gravitate to "As new" - with no GST, rather than "Brand New" with GST that the buyer pays. It would seem eBay Australia isn't going to tackle tax on sellers, but whack buyers with GST. Taxing Sellers won't work as receipts just aren't a thing here, and there aren't that many who (in relation to USA / UK for example) sell full time for a living exclusively on used products. It's mostly Moms and Pops clearing out the garage. I think it's aimed at People who sell cars and whitegoods full time.
  7. Legend of Batman x 90 normal size Massive limited edition hardbacks x 8 &TPB's and more New 52 comics (like buses apparently) $600 AUD - and that's fine as Legend of Batman sell for $40 each here in Australia. https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=Legend+Of+batman+graphic+novel+collection&_sacat=259104&LH_TitleDesc=0&rt=nc&_odkw=Legend+Of+batman&_osacat=259104&LH_PrefLoc=1&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1
  8. I'm still trying to keep the sigs on the 1st 'comic' appearance, but it can be hard. This book had comic panels in - and Barbara Steele on the cover. It's very very hard living in Australia for SS book as I have to buy sight unseen from ebay USA unless I buy a slabbed 9.8 For this book - couldn't find better unfortunately. The sig more than makes up for it. Love The Thing movie (1951 B+W one was better but a different sort of film) - I'm not going to try to find a Kurt Russell op - I think it's perfect as is. Big shout-out to Tristan P again for all his hard work
  9. Sorry for poor pics - I keep the light out as much as possible in my comic room.
  10. $100 Batman is the best run (bottom left just out of shot!) - plus 16 Lenticular covers. These are all absolutely mint. Unread and stored direct from purchase from the guys LCS. There was also Pacific Comics Groo 1-8 as well, which pays for the lot.
  11. It's a hot mess of garbage. Even worse, it's boring as hell
  12. The seller unchecks it. The seller. Not the buyer. If you sell stuff and want to stop this issue for buyers - uncheck the box. It literally tells you that in black and white. And I'm out.
  13. When you list an item, it's under the price at the very bottom of your listing.
  14. From the link above... It's up to sellers to opt out, or you to ask them to. If sellers uncheck the box, this becomes a non-issue.
  15. Not just missed it Bosco - never heard of it. Thanks though.
  16. You have this as a seller on each listing. Make sure it is unchecked and you have 'opted out' of instant payment and can now combine postage.
  17. Nah, we haven't - and I sell 1500+ items per year. There is an opt-out somewhere. Buyers still ask me to send a final total invoice so at least some aren't getting clobbered instantly. It's been in Australia for 3 months roughly - the ones getting whacked are the people who buy multiple items at full price - they get hit with individual prices inc postage on each one. Buyers are on it though - if you provide the 'make offer' function as a seller - most people buying now use that and wait for an invoice to stop the instant $$ deduction. I think it's just about 'persuading' sellers to switch to 'make offer' and ebay getting fees on extra postage charges. I've been looking for another platform to sell on - the long awaited 'ebay competitor'. Still waiting - when someone does design it, and offers better fees and functions, ebay will die in 6 months. However at the moment - there isn't any alternative to a platform that reaches out to 100's of millions of buyers worldwide. So I, like most, will stay. PS: There is defo an opt out. I just got an invoice request to combine postage on 3 items sold at full price.
  18. What was the thought process choosing this character for a big $$$$ movie? Beside the Charlton Comics Blue Beetle - hadn't heard of this guy. I don't know which demographic they hope to attract - just seems like a generic teen production with the handsome lead guy. It's not like the movie marketplace is short of teenage targeted films, so I have no idea why they chose to go with this. What's the loss potential on this? $100m? $200m? I'd rather they (Comic Movie makers) just released 2 really really good movies a year, rather than 5 or 6 bad ones.
  19. She was younger and under an alias, not Bennet or Wang. Deffo her though. Only saw a few secs as obviously her 'team' has worked hard to scrub it - about 10 / 11 yrs ago it was made. Didn't save a link, and I couldn't find one in a very brief search.
  20. After news of the actress might (did) pose for a naughty film,It seems that her career faded. Shame because Quake had potential as a spin-off
  21. I remember watching the animated Watchmen some years back (it's all on youtube if you want to watch it) and whilst limited in $$$ in production, was very enjoyable. I did feel sorry for the actor who had to do everyone's voice though! I think I preferred the ending too in all honesty. If they do more Watchmen - they had better get it right, as the bar has been set very high indeed.
  22. Does anyone know the 1st app of Captain Christoper Pike (Star Trek TOS NOT the modern shows with Anson Mount) in Comics? Is it Star Trek Annual #1 from 1985? It's not on the label, but some websites suggest it's this book. Thanks guys (and gals)
  23. Ticking a few social justice boxes there eh? Disappointing that stuff has hit The Boys Universe.
