Anyone follow Chuck Rozanski/Mile High Comics emails/correspondence?
While I tend to flip flop on my perceptions of the guy (seems to do a ton of good for folks in his community, but also seems to enjoy grandstanding and highlighting himself in the process), I do find his exploits and take on comics pretty interesting. It’s fun just to see someone who clearly had lots of funds just buy everything in sight across the U.S. He clearly loves comics and has made a success of them, can’t deny him that.
He is always getting ahold of massive/high quality collections on road trips… The logistics alone are pretty fascinating and would certainly come at great cost. I give him credit for his effort in that regard.
I just have to wonder what he pays for some of these premier collections? For the sellers, is there a bit of “wow” factor in simply selling to him? A recent collection from N.Y was touted as a million dollar collection of gold and silver age books–I wonder what was paid for it.
I suppose there is something to be said for unloading everything in one fell swoop and just getting a check, but it really seems like these vast/crazy valuable collections would make more sense to be handed over to an auction house. Maybe not though…maybe Mile High does pay top dollar. Obviously it’s the seller’s business, but I’m just curious and would love to know what percentage they likely get from their investment as a whole.
I don’t know. I have heard he doesn’t pay all that much overall for collections but that is just through the grapevine. The collection you are talking about looks to have some solid mid to higher grade silver age Marvel mega keys at least. I would think the owner knew full well what he had. I hope he got a good price. I just wonder what the non-secret code word, sale prices will be for these keys?
Hey guys got a question for the ebay sellers. Not an ebay headache so I’ll just post this here. So I have some books up and sometimes if I have extra copies I’ll list the quantities as 5, 10 or 20 available for instance. I usually have my shipping for a comic as $6 as I use USPS first class shipping from Canada. I package it in a Gemini mailer, gets tracked and usually arrives in 2-6 days to the US/Canada. So far everything has been great.
So I put up some copies of Eight Billion Genies 1 and it got sold instantly. The buyer bought 2 copies and when I went to view orders, the buyer paid for 2 comics and a flat $6 shipping. Not a big deal but I was under the assumption that when purchasing multiple quantities that I would need to send an invoice to the buyer for an updated shipping cost. Again it was just 2 comics so not a problem. However he/she could’ve bought 5-10 copies and if he did am I suppose to ship it out at the flat $6 shipping cost?
Not sure if I am missing something. How do you guys handle the shipping cost calculation when your buyers are buying multiple copies? I didn’t realize when I was adding the extra quantities that Ebay doesn’t adjust the shipping cost if a buyer purchases extra copies or did I do something wrong?
Don’t know now. But when I used to sell on ebay, I would make a note in the description that additional books would be (this amount of extra $) and to wait for invoice before paying.
When you sell different items on eBay you can have an invoice. When you sell multiples of the same listing I am pretty sure that doesn’t adjust the shipping, oddly enough. I always do free shipping, though, so don’t quote me on it.
I know another moderator (the awesome @agentpoyo) said the issue isn’t related to the movie itself so we shouldn’t discuss Ezra Miller in that topic thread. I will share an update here however that I read only because I saw the funniest comment ever on the article I wish I could take credit for:
The comment was…
“I’m just going to come out and say it: I really don’t understand this marketing campaign for The Flash.”
Made me spit out my iced coffee giggling. I mean, imagine if this was part of some surreal DC plan? It isn’t but just think…
