  1. There is a lot of e-bay buyers who only look at the starting items each day to see if there are deals coming available so they are playing the game that renewing the items each day will get a ton of views for the books. E-Bay gives so many free listings each month that smaller sellers can use this practice and have very little cost. People who buy books frequently catch on and avoid those books but there is enough newbies that come around that it makes sense to them. If I don't have the time to post new books or run auctions then I will close and relist 50 books every now and then throughout the month since it does generate increased views and sales. E-Bay has become a sea on books so it's tough to not get lost especially if your books are not search worthy.
  2. I went 8.0/9.2/9.2/8.5/9.2 which isn’t too bad with 3 points. Thought the stain on the Power Girl book would bring it down a bit.
  3. Nice batch of books up for sale and a very large assortment of items in a large store is definitely a receipt for nice sales. With almost 5x the number of items that I've got up for sale I can see why you can generate 10 items a day in sales!
  4. What's your e-bay store, Chip? I'd love to see how your store is set up since I've been stuck selling about 2 or 3 items a day for the last year or so. I'd of course be able to get up to 10 items a day if I was willing to take 50% discounts on everything but that would delete the reason for having a store. But I'm glad things are selling for you.
  5. We watched it last night (well I tried). I fell asleep after an hour or so just because it got boring watching things blow up and light saber fights for hours on end. It wasn’t horrible but it felt like a rehash of a bunch of other movies with things just exploding everywhere. Even the sappy moments just didn’t connect and I can see why it’s getting bad reviews.
  6. I'd agree his stuff is harder to find then Adams but those Alien Worlds books were everywhere a few years ago in people's $5 boxes. I can't tell you how many Jonny Quest 5 copies I've bought over the years and now they are going for $50. It's a fad and I'm selling as fast as possible if I can find copies.
  7. Next you are going to tell me Stevens was better than Zeck. Stevens was good but I'd rather collect Hughes or Campbell if I'm looking for girl art. Regardless of your taste in artists there is no reason Stevens stuff became so hot after so many years. They are not more hard to get then a few years ago. Not better now than in 2021 but people are acting like they have never seen his stuff before. The market is fickle so you have to embrace the shifts but I don't see why his stuff will remain as hot as they have been this year.
  8. Somebody will yell squirrel and the market will run after the next hot thing so my money this being a temp fad and people should be selling if they want top dollar. His stuff isn't reigniting due to young people loving it and it's not like he is tapping into current politics or fashions so I don't think it has legs. Great art is all over the place (ie Art Adams stuff is way better) but you don't see people paying 5x prices for his stuff all the sudden.
  9. Yikes - grades submitted. Not sure if the graders notes helped or hurt since they got into my head big time.
  10. I sold a nice raw copy yesterday for $30 which had been sitting around for awhile. Book just has too nice a cover to sit forever.
  11. He was the dirt sifting father in the second to last episode. I'm about half way through that episode and can't wait to finish the season tonight. Just keeps getting better and better with some many sub plots and layers.
  12. These have been selling pretty well on E-Bay so I'll leave these up for a couple days to test out if there is any interest. Lots more books so don't be shy to grab a bunch!

  25. I’m about half way through and it’s been great so far. Rare show that I keep thinking about parts and wanting to digest more. Favorite new show in awhile.
