ANNOUNCEMENT THREAD - post pre-sale announcements

I'll be posting a new sales thread, or two, in early April. I am still on a quest to buy AF15, which is a comic on another level for me and one I am determined to buy by year end. I am around 20% of the way there from selling the small stuff and I am going to keep on selling that small stuff. (meaning nothing over $100 and most $10 or less) Some new stuff will be there and some stuff previously offered will return at significantly lower prices. I have $3K of stuff on ebay now and that will come off there and go here at 50% of the price or so. And I already have more to add and we'll see where we go from there.

I'll have a copper/modern for sure and perhaps a G/S/B but that is less sure. I mean, they are all coming sooner rather than later but some semblance of order is required.

I am going to do an impulsive copper/modern auction tonight in a little bit. I am going to use the stacker format, or a variation thereof. It will start with a BIN and 2 or more books and I will add a book every so often hoping that the lot sells for the BIN. If I am lucky enough to sell that one I will do more. If I think the value has been generously exceeded I will not add any more books and announce a closing time around 10-11 pm EST.

First one will start at $50 and feature Totally Awesome Hulk 15, then with other books added. I am taking pics now and will get it going shortly.

see you there! :sumo:

I encourage threadkrapping and having a fun time. I was running roughshod over the card forums when they started a few weeks ago so card guys can come on by too if they can stop flippin' Marnies for a second.

Have a great Friday people!

Will be starting a sales thread with some big keys in the G/S/B forum tonight and continuing into tomorrow. Also will have a short Copper/Modern sales thread tomorrow as well. Lots of Falcon and Winter Soldier keys in that one.

Thanks,

Ed

Somewhere within the next week or so, I intend to throw an F5 party in G/S/B. :devil:

Hmm... let’s see.... Am I ready??
 

Sharp Atlas war books....check!
Entry level Silver Age major key...check!
Highly sought after hard-to-find Baker book...check!
Hot bronze keys...check!
Affordable random Golden Age obscurities...check! 
PCH...check!
Completely off the radar, sweet romance book...check!

 

Update -- It's still coming; thought I would shoot the books tonight and start tomorrow night, but I got sidetracked by a trade with a local collector, and I wanted to be sure none of the books I had set aside for the sale would be needed for the trade first. (We're clear!) So stay tuned, it will happen. Though we're hardly bored in the meantime; some killer, killer threads on the boards of late!

Some serious spring cleaning coming up.  I have a collectible "overflow" room in our basement that needs to be cleared out in the next several months in prep for a renovation.   I have about 60 boxes of "extra" comics, some slabs, cards (sealed star wars wax packs and others), toys, games etc. that need to go.  I was going to split into multiple threads but want to give the mixed section a try.  Hoping to start listing some things later today around 6-7pm and plan on adding as time permits over the coming days/weeks/months.

If we buy something that says "don't open" can we open it?

Update! I have half a shot of starting the F5 Party tonight! Probably 10 pm EST or later, but I'll update here by 10 if I cannot.

20 books shot, G/S/B, none of which I have offered before. Might add about 4 re-runs that I'm shocked got passed over (maybe missed?) in previous go-rounds, but that would be subsequent nights. Might not get to all 20 in one sitting.

I am hoping to do a small thread in G/S/B today or tomorrow, mostly of issues I have duplicates of (2 or 3 Planets, some Strange Tales, and maybe X-Men 94 and/or 95). 

I am also working on another large copper/modern thread, that should be ready in 2 weeks/end of the month.

The AF15 fund is at 25%-33% and another 5-8% coming in June from leftovers from 2 heritage consignments finally selling this month. Now lets just keep 2.0s and 2.5s at their current levels!
