If you did, just click it again.  That will unlock it.

I’m not seeing that option.  Maybe i’m Not looking in the right place?

[comicdonna]

It should be there.  I believe it's green when the thread is open, (mark as sold) and red when it's closed.  (unmark as sold)

Must be a pc thing and not on a phone.  I will have to fix it tomorrow.  Thanks for the help.

Jeff, I just checked my sales thread, the one I closed the other day. I used my phone. If you scroll up, you will see in red, "unmark as sold" in a rectangle.

Try enlarging the screen.

Same thing on my PC

I'm using an Android phone, don't know if Iphones are different?

Thanks, Sha.  It isn’t there on my phone. I will fix it tomorrow or start another thread to update what is left and timeframes to buy.

hope all is well with you and your family.

I have never seen so many GA books available for sale in the Forum, almost more than SA books during this Holiday season, too bad I am not a GA collector.

There's been a glut of really desirable books, at least to me, here and other venues, like CLink Exchange, Bob Storm's site, and others. I need to quit looking--my eyes are bigger than my wallet.

Wow, never knew the SW #1 reprints went for that much

It looks like the last sale 7.5 in GPA was $88

Good luck selling that raw in the forums at that price

Is there any interest /value in Bronze Archie and related books?  I have 30 ish and, although I used to read when I was younger, they really don't fit in with my books anymore.  Same question for Silver cartoon Dell/Harvey?

I'm kind of shocked that the sales thread area hasn't exploded in popularity since E-Bay started collecting sales tax.  Even if the seller is offering up 5% discount compared to E-Bay prices with free shipping that really is close to 20% off when you consider the 7-8% sales tax and all the discounts added up.  I know people on the boards are mostly flipping or really cheap but I don't think I saw any noticeable increase after the tax increase on E-Bay.

I'd like to see what Harveys you have. I'm mostly looking for reasonably priced readers in mid grades.

Except for a handful of sellers, the marketplace here is really sluggish.

I did fairly well with my last sale, but I had a few decent books. The sales tax thing has been a cold shower to me, as it largely nullifies the effort to reduce USA to Italy shipping by doing combined shipments.
Thankfully the italian postal service did not increase the rates this year, but it becomes very difficult to sell books, nice as they may be, under a certain monetary value.

You mean because you have to pay U.S. sales tax when you have the books shipped to a U.S. address?  I asked my husband if he had any ideas (he's a tax accountant) and he said something about a resale number. So maybe find a friend who would forward them, who also has a resale number?

I have interest in BA Archie and SA cartoon stuff, Sad Sack, Lulu, Lotta, Blondie, mostly.

Yes. The firend which holds them for me has been doing so for a long time. I am a bit reluctant to bother other board friends.
He’s in Santa Fe, recently I restarted picking a few books from the USA and I realized there was the sales tax.
It seems a bit lower compared to that in other US states, but nonetheless it affects the total, especially for more costly books.

I've got a carpton of Baby Huey, but seem to be the sole collector of that title around here....,
