  1. I will get an example up today. Have to finalize the list of what is missing.
  2. There are security camera's on the front and rear entrances, they have my last date of entry and they will be reviewing footage from 2/1 through 2/7 2 PM to see if somebody was exiting with my inventory. They have to have security codes to get into the facility so if there is somebody exiting I'm sure they can figure out who got in. There are not security camera's inside the building which I was not aware of. This is not an old storage unit facility. I will now be looking for a more secure location and moving out of this facility to find one that has security cameras within the building. This is a Public storage, not some small out in the middle of no where facility. As far as the laughing emoji goes I'm not sure what is funny about this either.
  3. Please save me the why are you keeping comics in storage unit posts. I'm really beyond upset right now. I had 26 magazine boxes of Raw Silver/Bronze age, box of Gold keys stolen from one of my storerooms. My last visit was 2/1, could have been any day up until 2 o'clock this after. All raw, all graded, priced with my price stickers in upper left corner. I do not have a list yet. I'm literally putting it out there if anybody in NY, NJ or Connecticut is being offered magazine boxes of raws they might be mine. Boxes are coded, JB1-JB3, ZB831-4, etc, MM1-4, CHD1-2, Gold Key. I will take care of anyone that can help get me this inventory back. I am currently work on a list,
  4. I'm not sure I agree with that. As with any collectibles industry there is a pyramid of buyers that as the price goes up the pool gets smaller. Yes $15K is a meaningful amount of money but in a hot market $15K looks like $1500 when you are turning that money over quickly. When the market is slow it looks like a museum piece
  5. You mean Comic News Network isn't the real news? Do I need to question Sweet Comic Lou Dobbs on his reporting? What exactly is a DORK Don't Often Requiring Knowledge
  6. Ah, so did the notes specify SLB? Smells Like Balls? Could be worse, could be the dreaded SLA code - Smells Like A
  7. Not really, my CVA notation would be Smoking
  8. Yeah my new grading company is CIG, Can I Grade
  9. Exactly, so that when I set up my wall display all I will have are the backs of the books on my wall. We can then play wheel of fortune and turn it over as the customer spins the wheel to see if they can guess the puzzle.
  10. The true cost of a book that is graded Cost of book The part that I don't see discussed enough Everybody making money except you on it Shipping company sending Pressing company Grading company Shipping company return Unless you have you own website the selling company Payment company - CC or paypal Tax on profit Yup, I see that $$$$ rolling in
  11. Just an fyi but if you use the HP Scanjet 8270 you can scan it with cover down that will show a white background, cover up that will show a black.
  12. Sorry, saw this pop up with a new post so I assumed it was new.
  13. My consignment fee on sales over 10K is 8.75%. www.highgradecomics.com
  14. In a comic universe Far far away the collector's alliance was created to battle the Dark Empire of Auction Houses. Led by the Rebel force of collector's these brave soles fight back the buyer's and sellers premiums being unleashed against the collector's fee free universe.
  15. Have you tried to redirect the package using Package intercept since it hasn't been delivered. I think you would be able to correct the delivery address that way since you are redirecting it to the correct zip code.
  16. Everybody wants to be a Comic Kardashian, Big Assets. We get it.
  17. So the new "hot place to sell" is WhyNot? Followed by TrashForCash
  18. This coming from the Whatnot "followers" new selling media whore?
  19. Biggest takeaway from this is its all about the "likes" and post count. You are only as funny as your last CGC forum post.
  20. Come check out my youtube channel where I go over this very concept. User id blazinghotair
  21. Blazing one would not report immediately. Blazing one would only report when the item is paid for with a sale date of when it was ordered. If it wasn't paid for it would never show up in GPA and wouldn't require a retraction.
  22. Is Conan a flasher because frankly I wouldn't want him getting exposure for being an Exposer
  23. If you believe this then you pretty much have an issue with every auction house that offers time payments on books. If my understanding of GPA is correct that they are screen scraping from the Auction House "public" results and approved submitters are providing data extracts then the auction results will always be skewed since a screen scrape cannot tell that the item was paid for. Which I believe is why Ebay GPA entry sales are sometimes deleted later because the item wasn't paid for.
  24. You keep banging this over and over again that it isn't paid for. Ok, the sale shouldn't be reported with the date of the sale until it is paid for. If a time payment isn't completed the sale isn't reported. Again, If I suddenly shipped GPA my full CGC Payment status = Sold sales data I would change past GPA sales for the last 20 years very quickly.
