Anyone else having trouble with any sites that use ComicHub? I’m trying to check various ones for that Punisher cover and it is all running insanely slow or not loading.

Probably everyone trying to score punisher covers.

I think you’re math logic is still fuzzy… yes, taxes change often but if you over pay and the IRS has to refund you so you pay the exact amount you’re suppose to based on your tax bracket, adjusting to make the amount refunded smaller is more ideal and it still stands, the gov gets the money yes based on the current tax law. If they raise taxes on you, then you’ll just end up still over paying unless you adjust your W-4 forms. But they’re not raising taxes to “get that money” from you if they’re still dishing out refund checks to you each year, that’s you giving them that interest free loan that you could have made money from throughout the year by just saving it yourself and then pay what you hope is a smaller tax bill, while your money was making more money by sitting in an account that generates more. :wink:

I bought a stack of trades from instocktrades.com. Shipping took a while, but the books are flawless and were packed expertly. Highly recommended.

I edited your post for you! It didn’t have it all as one word and went to some random site. I know instocktrades as well, and they are snazzy.

I’m looking to pay fmv on this book, but I’m not sure if the grade matches the condition. Is a 7.0 pushing it on this book? cgc link Thanks :slight_smile:

I think it could fall to a 6.0 on a bad day….but I’d agree it’s bi better than a 7.0.

The small tear along the back is also seen along the front, which is not in the notes, ironically.

I think the real question is how much does this book go for in 6.0/7.0/8.0 and how often does it come up? If you’re questioning whether it’s worth it, why not just pass on this and wait for the next one? Is white pages tough to find for this book as well? Always wait for a copy with white page quality, if the price isn’t that different.

For example, I’m looking at Ghost Rider 1s in mid grades at the moment …but they are so plentiful I’m just biding my time until the one I’m happy with drops into my lap. I will say unless the deal is amazing, it has to be white interior pages.

Btw, there’s a raw copy listed on eBay at 7.5 that appear to be better (maybe needs some cleaning). See above

This 7.0 looks better…and it’s a white pager.

I’m seeing the CGC 7.0-8.0 in the $150-$200 range pop up every few months. This one is ~$166+tax. I wasn’t really paying attention to the page quality, but I will now. I think it’s probably better for me to wait for a nicer copy based on your insight. Thanks :slight_smile:

What the what? Gamestop was $2.50 a share a few years ago and now they want eBay?

The market works in mysterious ways…

Honestly, I don’t get how there are so many Gamestops around. The very few times I’ve been inside them, they seem dirty, disorganized, overpriced and always empty. Maybe it’s my area…

I made a blog post about this today. I feel like the GameStop offer has no basis in reality and they have very little chance of succeeding.

I wouldn’t buy eBay myself if I had the time or money… eBay is a mess I’d imagine, be easier to just build from scratch, do all the things eBay doesn’t do right in your own and go from there… be a long uphill battle to overtake eBay but anything is possible.

if they add ship centers for ebay orders to gme stores, where employee would verify contents. id like it. and feel better about selling more high prices books

I wouldnt trust Gamestop employees…
