Most likely ordered after FOC. I’m zero for 6 on after FOC’s arriving. It’s easy for stores to get confused. You get a confirmation e-mail within a minute or two showing the order was placed but you have to wait 20 to 30 minutes for the 2nd e-mail confirmation to arrive. That one shows prices if you should get it or “back ordered” if it’s not happening. If you don’t look at that 2nd e-mail/open it to view the attachment you don’t know. It’s also pretty easy for a store to pop in the order onscreen and show the date so you can see if the order is pre or post FOC. The order date is in the top left corner of the screen when viewing.

Snagged one.

Also, this was on the inside cover. I think I’ll keep it and repost when silly things like what’s happening with Secret Wars 5 come around…

Sold another one. People have been bundling all my ultimates on Mercari and I am getting a higher asking price than on eBay. Helps there is a $10 coupon floating around out there right now. Ultimate books keep lining my pockets and I keep going back for more.

I haven’t sold a book, or anything on mercari in probably a year.

The two big deterrents for me were (1) their search feature SUUUUUUUCKS (only Mile High is worse/more archaic) and the $7.40 shipping charge for all items 0.25-1 lbs.That alone costs you $1-$3 to remain competitive with the same books on eBay. The third deterrent is that it gets significantly less traffic than eBay, largely because of the first two discouraging buyers and sellers, I believe. A problem that just compounds upon itself.

However I just came across this:

Announcement 12/4/2023 * Introducing: 12 oz prepaid label for just $5.99

You can now ship up to 12 oz with USPS for just $5.99 using a Mercari prepaid label. This option is ideal for packaged items that weigh more than 8 oz but under 1 lb.

8-12 oz is the sweet spot for single comics in Gemini mailers. So at least it seems they’ve rectified that problem. Maybe I’ll check it out again.

It goes in waves for me. Things I cannot sell on eBay (Lady Death for example) moves great for me on eBay. I do price my books higher on Mercari because of the fee structure they have.

Haha… uniquely ugly?

Get me an ultimate black panther if you find another one

I’m now sitting on a 1:25 issue #3 and the Kang cover for issue #4. Keep lowering the price…seems like the secret wars book distracted everyone from Ultimate titles for the moment…

All the regulars are gone but going out tomorrow and can pick up up one of the other covers.
