CL is now charging sales tax in Illinois now too. It does put me at a bit of a disadvantage. I don't see myself buying much from them going forward.

I have a post office box in Wisconsin to avoid taxes and lower taxes too. I am willing to drive for about a hour. Sometimes, I pick them up on the way to my parents' lake house.

FYI, ComicConnect is adding sales taxes too.

I just got 2 books in Florida and they didn't charge tax. There isn't any snow here, either;)

I listed a few in this auction, my first try at an auction place other than eBay.

wish you luck ^^

I just heard back from CLink CS and it appears that they decided to  stop sending out bid confirmation emails.

I would rather get an email about being outbid on a book rather than a confirmation email that I placed a bid. They have this completely backwards.

Think you took this the wrong way.

Clink is still sending "Outbid" email notifications but have ceased to send the "Confirmation Bid" email notifications. So I think you get what you and lizards wanted.

Too many "outs" and "bids" in one sentence!

Ah You're right. I misinterpreted the way watcher worded his post.

I'm depressed that you are trying to understand my gibberish.

Weirdness... 

 

Has anyone had this happen to them. 

I was tracking a book to see where the auction ended (since CLINK doesnt report to GPA I keep offline notes on completed sales/auction prices). 

There was a Brick Bradford #6 CGC 4.0 in the October auction, my last note had a high bid at $771 during the auction. 
I just went back to see where it ended (since I saw in my notes I hadnt listed the final price) and its no longer in my submitted bids (I do the same thing as you guys, submit a bid to act as a "bid tracker" since there is no way to follow a book otherwise)

I do a search on CLINK since completed auctions stay on their pages for a few months while they are "Sales Pending" and it's not coming up either. 

 

Anyone have something like this happen? Does it happen when a book gets pulled from auction? And why would it get pulled since it had valid bids that were within market range?

Sure it was a 4.0 and not a 4.5?

The 4.5 ended at $772.

Yeah I have the 4.5 noted already in my records (it was from the August Auction), the 4.0 was from last month...

Also I had a PM in October with another Brick owner about values where I reference the 4.0 in the October auction.. so Im not totally imagining it (or if I am it was an on-going hallucination...)

Then I can't find it either. 

All that shows for that title is that 4.5 and an 8.5 that went for $3,050. Maybe  you are right and the item was pulled?
