CLOSED Iganatz’ first sales thread: a Blizzard of Bronze with a Sprinkling of Sliver! 0

[iganatz]

 

Hey all! I’m a relatively new boardie. Found this community after discovering a couple of boxes long forgotten in my attic. Sold off (almost) my entire collection 25 years ago and forgot about the hidden bronze stuff that I couldn’t give away back in the day. When I found them recently, I had intended to sell them and never think about comic books again, but you all drew me back into the fold. Not sure yet whether this is a blessing or a curse.  Regardless, on offer ITT will be the goodies I recovered from the attic.  Nearly 60 lots containing almost 300 books.

 

I’ve started collecting again, buying here and on ebay. I don’t have a lot of kudos yet, but what I’ve got is here: https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/434164-iganatz-kudosfeedback/

Hopefully after this sale, that kudos thread will be bloated with posts from happy customers.

 

The thread will be picture heavy, so apologies to anyone browsing on a mobile connection.

One of the things that really drew me to these boards was the level of engagement, banter and comraderie here, even in sales threads. In particular, I’ve enjoyed the larger threads like those by Kramerica. Mark has been especially helpful beyond being a seller, with advice and good humor. So in his honor, the freebies offered in this thread will be known as “Kramers”. More on that later.

 

About the books in this thread: as stated in the title, it will be mostly Bronze with a handful of Silver books. All books are raw. There will be lots of lots, individual issues and full runs. All grades will be represented from readers to high grade. Plenty of mid grades.  

 

Terms:

 

Paypal, check or MO accepted, PayPal preferred.

 

 in this thread trumps everything, followed by PM , followed by offers/negotiations. 

 

Shipping within the US will be via USPS Flat Rate Priority - $14 for up to 14 books in a medium flat rate box; or $19 for 15-24 books in a large flat rate box. More than 24 books and we’ll start a new box.  If you’re only buying 1-3 books and want to save some bucks, we can do First Class for $7.  I will not ship via Media Mail. Apologies to our friends up North, South and overseas, but for this first thread I will not be shipping outside of the US.  I need to get my feet wet with the whole shipping process.  Promise to add international shipping to future threads once I’ve gone through this first sale and gotten more comfortable with shipping.

 

Also, since I’m new and longtime boardies may be hesitant to buy from an unknown, I’ll be offering a 100% money back guarantee on everything INCLUDING RETURN SHIPPING.  You read that right.  I want to establish my board credentials and I want you to be comfortable ordering from me even though you don’t know me from Adam (uh, my real name).  So for this thread I’m willing to take a bath if need be on that part of the deal to make sure all customers are satisfied.  If you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason, return it to me in the shape you received it, within two weeks of delivery for a full refund including return shipping.  

 

I’m new here but I’m not stupid.  If you’re on the Probation or HOS lists, you are not eligible and I won’t sell to you.  

 

If I’ve forgotten anything, or you have any questions, PM me.  I have high resolution photos of everything, and happy to send upon request if the photos ITT are in some way not satisfactory.  Want a picture of the back cover of a $2 reader?  Just ask.  Want me to send you a picture of a MVS to prove it’s intact? Ask away.  Want to know the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?  Ummm…

 

Finally, the Kramers.  

 

 

Periodically, there will be a free book posted, designated Kramer #x.  First, read the post and determine if you are eligible to claim that Kramer, then return here for that Kramer’s secret phrase and post that secret phrase ITT.  First eligible boardie to post the secret phrase wins that Kramer.

 

Spoiler

Kramer #1 phrase:  Darren the intern.

Kramer #2 phrase:  She’s got the Jimmy legs.

Kramer #3 phrase:  I’ve got the Kevorka!

Kramer #4 phrase:  These pretzels are making me thirsty.

Kramer #5 phrase:  Yama Hama, it’s fright night!

Kramer #6 phrase:  Look away. I’m ...I’m hideous!

 

Again, I'm new here.  If I'm not doing it right, please PM me.  Most importantly, let's have some some fun.

We ready?  Ok, here we go:

Nope, sorry.  Not much in the way of humor.  Mostly Horror, War and spandex.

Lot 03: MAD HOUSE SOLD

 

Are there any weirder comic runs than this one?  Started as a sort of Bizarro Archie comic, then featured monster humor, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Captain Sprocket.  For exactly 3 issues, it was an outright horror book before turning back to humor.  Up for sale are two of those issues.  How was this unsuccessful, featuring the kind of stuff below?

Mad House 96 (F-), 97 (VG)

Both for $10
