As an international buyer, I can 100% confirm - eBay's global shipping program is more expensive (base rate comparison) and then eBay also charge an "import tax" that I do not get charged when I get anything shipped from any where other than eBay's Global Shipping Program. It feels like a rort. MCS is far more economical as a buyer for international shipping. I've also been lucky enough to have the experience that MCS is more reliable. Add to that the quality of packing from the MCS team, the hassle-free support on the rare occurrence something goes awry, and not having to worry about whether the book was a scam or not... It's simply a no-brainer for me. I don't buy slabs from eBay anymore, only MCS or other boardies (or businesses with a presence here). I will only (grudgingly) resort to eBay for raws if I cannot source them elsewhere.

“I apologise if you feel”… Wow. Wow. Wow. Weak as p*ss. This is not an apology. It doesn’t take any accountability or any real responsibility… it should at least read “I did not communicate with you at all. I left you hanging without the book you paid a significant amount of money for. While I was going through a rough time, there is no excuse for not communicating with you about this. I am deeply sorry! What can I do to help make this right? In the meantime I will contact CL and provide a supporting statement to confirm I did not send you the book.”

What are people’s impressions of CovrPrice? I love the CLZ app. It’s phenomenal. I was always disappointed in the GoCollect integration… wished I could hide it - the pricing data was always so bad. (FWIW, I think that this was a short-sighted move by GC - CLZ was the only reason many people would’ve seen their data points). When CLZ’s Alwin announced that a new partnership was coming, I had everything crossed for it to be @gpanalysis - who, like many of you, I trust and have invested in for years… I can’t see myself buying a different membership to integrate with CLZ… I wouldn’t ditch GPA and I don’t see the point in paying for two. But I’m still interested in CovrPrice user’s thoughts/experience.

Saw this and thought of you OP:

Meh.. I wouldn’t pay the asking rate - but Crain is an awesome artist and I dig his pixel-perfect signatures. It’s very niche to develop and market your own variant signatures and, while I wouldn’t fork out, I suspect that the diehard Crain fans are hip deep into it.

I miss the days when you could tell it was a Friday just from the ludicrous crud that was posted in CG.

I have always loved the art in Spawn but have always struggled to engage with the writing.

Today’s mail…

Mail call!!

I’ve snagged a single copy of cover B… and think I’m going to end up with a bit of a Spawn collection just for the cover art!! There are a couple that I want to buy from @Wall-Crawler and that got me digging around… So many amazing covers.

Rad books!! How is Monkey? I assume it’s based on Monkey Magic? Love the red & gold cover.

That’s a haul and a half of cover B! Big Todd McFan?

Even though this statement followed directly on the heels of a "errr.. dunno - no real process, people say stuff and we think about it", I would still buy to read this article.

Today’s mail call:

Yes! Sorry team - I meant orders/distribution when I wrote "print-run". (I've got print-runs on the brain at the moment). The rest of the bolded text was implied by the source.
