Anyone use media mail? I love the prices, but recently I had someone contact me stating they have not received their package. Unfortunately I did not purchase a tracking number and it has been over two weeks. Has anyone else ever experienced a package sent via media mail that took over two weeks? If so, how long?
I Purchased my 1st Over street price guide 1982 with some money for my 14th b-day I had already been spending every spare penny on comics for the last few years and now realized I could find out what they are worth! For years afterwards when I bought the next one I would curl up on the couch and compare it to last years totally geeky but very exciting! This however quite sadly is no more.The price guide now is basically a reference for 1st app's artists dates and such the prices really are a joke.The overstreet allegedly gathers info from dealers,stores shows, the internet and factors everything in.Well lets be real with the exception of whatever is hot at the moment(these days driven by whatever movie is coming out) and a few keys nothing seels for anywhere near guide! I mean especially on e-bay how often do you get more than half of guide? and trade shows at least the ones in the N.E. area where I am are ridiculus! $25 comics old for $10 and the vultures trying to get them even cheaper.There is no such thing as a real #1 anymore amongst the major publishers as they just keep restarting titles and creating variants and as far as 1st app's go well Marvel and DC would actually have to be creating new characters for that.It is sad to see silver age comics going for pennies on the dollar while a year old book like Locke and key #1 goes for $50 but my point is how do they justify the prices going up? well their answer is CGC of course if people keep overpaying for comics slabbed at 9.4 or better it brings up the market they will say but this is pure gouging.Over street sold out to CGC when they lowered thier NM from the 9.4 it had been to 9.2 as it made a 9.4 seem more NM. anyway my point is anyone dealing in comics these days unless you have golden age horror or early silver age marvel knows that the guide is worthless years ago a $100 comic sold at $70 would be a deal now even priced at $50 it generally does'nt move and starting it live i have seen more than i can count not even make $20+ all in all just very sad to see the market this watered down and have Overstreet become basically irrelevent. thanks for letting me vent! MIke p.s. a little about me: I have been reading comics since the age of 6(starting with Swamp Thing Man Thing and any horror comic my mother would bring home) and have been a hardcore collector ever since I also owned and operated a retail store Shadowland Comics for 5 years and have been selling comics on e-bay since 2002 adopting the new value policy of not what its worth but what did i pay for it. once again just kind of sad
Okay, so I am not a typist and I make errors frequently when I type fast. Well I made one heck of a mistake the other day.
I accidentally listed Teen Titans #17 (1968) at $0.99!
I already have one bid and cannot change it. So, I wanted to extend my mistake out to the group just in case there are any Teen Titan fans who want to pick up this VF/NM copy of the Silver Age classic.
Have an awesome weekend, everyone! Xepherus Studios
Throwing out a holler to everyone to what everyone's experience has been this week with selling.
Last week I had several Batman, Wolverine, and various Spider-Man books sell at high prices. I am also seeing Blackest Night in the GL titles fueling back issue interest. Sinestro Corps is flying out of the local comic shop. Has anyone else seen this happen?
Let me know. Have a good week y'all! OXOX Xepherus Studios
Chew is a great read with an original story line. Not only that but the comic is a complete sell out and is the hottest comic book out right now. They are extremely hard to find, but worth getting especially since it is only at issue #2. Check out this auction and I would love to hear from everybody who has read it to see what they think.
I have a nice lot of 13 CGC books plus some extra stuff up for auction. Trust me its not 13 2nd rate books. I have 2 copies of Marvel Secret Wars #8 both CGC'd, Daredevil 181 CGC 9.6, Web of Spiderman #2 CGC 9.8! plus much more. Feel free to check it out. Thanks!
Did you know that 30% of all comic books are damaged during transit? Due to sellers not packaging books correctly. Here are some tips for sellers to use when shipping comic books: Always use 2 pieces of hard cardboard on both top and bottom of books to be shipped. The cardboard should be larger than the books by at least 1/2". This will help protect the corners. Use a peice of paper when taping the cardboard together, this will help to avoid tape sticking to the comic book. Stamp the package do not bend. Also the buyer can help the cause by getting a larger mail box and talking with their carrier.

Let me know what you need my husband has boxes and boxes. He has read all of them and told me to sell them. Some are really old and some newer. I do not have time to list all of them but I will be listing some on the site as soon as I can get the picture uploaded right. The question is on my blog if you don't want to post it here or just send me a message. I don't know anything about comics, only what we have and I can ask my husband what I don't know.
