Title: I have poor buying impulse control...
Post by: lprkn on 28 Dec 2008, 14:42
Due to my imminent move, I really really need to get rid of my trade paperbacks (I have over 100), so I put some of my complete runs on ebay for dirt cheap (approximately 25% of the cover price).

Fables (http://cgi.ebay.com/Fables-Trade-Paperbacks-1-11-Complete-Bound-Series_W0QQitemZ260338409297QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item260338409297&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318|301%3A1|293%3A1|294%3A50)

I have many more trades: random DC, Vertigo, and Marvel. PM me for a complete list.

I hope that this was okay to put here. I am definitely not trying to make a quick buck, an would just like to see these go to people who woul d enjoy them, because otherwise they'll just get thrown away.

Why do you have a reserve?

Why do you have a reserve?

I have never sold on ebay before, and I put those in there because I didn't know any better. Don't worry, it's only 5 dollars higher than the starting price.

Not for Sandman it isn't.

*ANGRY FACE*

Also dude, your shipping is kinda high.

Thanks for the tips. I went ahead and removed the reserve price altogether for every item except Fables, (which I couldn't change because there was already a bid on it) and I changed the default shipping to media mail, which appears to be the option that makes the most sense.

you can go ahead and cancel that bid on Fables (check my message to you for details).  :wink:

I can send you a message from my ebay account if you'd like confirmation, I have never had a bid canceled before so I'm not exactly sure how it works.

Bidding on Y: The Last Man and possibly Fables, though my hon has them all in single issues so that one depends.

FYI: I sorta HATE media mail, I've gotten so many tore up packages through media mail. Mainly from zine distros. Sometimes I have even gotten an empty envelope! So if you send media mail please cover (as in totally laminate) the package with packing tape. If I win I'll be doing the next highest shipping upgrade b/c I'm paranoid like that.  :-D

Wow, good to know. My only experience with media mail is through my job. We bind theses and dissertations, and then use media mail to send them back to the customers.
