Selling stuff again Options

[Chaomancer Omega]

Well, I'm still out of work, and I could really use some money right about now, so it's time to put some more stuff on eBay. As before, I'm not expecting anyone here to buy anything -- I know money's tight for a lot of us -- but I thought I'd post just in case, as the stuff I'm putting up is of potential interest to some of us.

Right now, I've got one video game (ToeJam & Earl -- one of my absolute all-time favorites) and some extra action figures I had. Nothing too special, but check them out if you're interested. Most of the auctions are starting out pretty low. Shipping is the least I could afford (these things are heavy as far as postage goes).

I may be putting up some comics later. Need to go through them and figure out what I think might actually sell.

See my auctions here

I'll give you 10 cents for your soul!

[Chaomancer Omega]

Sold!

[TwinkyMaster]

Aw, you sure you don't wanna put that on eBay too? I'm sure you could get more than 10 cents.

All right, I now have six comic-book lots up. I'll have more in a day or two, as soon as I figure out how I'm going to ship them. (The lots which aren't up yet are small enough that I don't really want to use the flat-rate boxes unless I can't find another way.)

[TwinkyMaster]

Wow dude, that's a ton of comics. And a lot of complete runs too. I don't know if I could get rid of mine - I'd be selling off DVDs before I got rid of my comics. I sincerely hope that you get some major coin for these auctions because that's some pretty extensive comic runs in there. I put in a couple of starting bids but I'm hoping that these things take off and people who are able to spend much more than I end up winning the auctions.


Have you thought about making posts on some other comic book sites like Newsarama and Comicbloc.com? A little advertising might help things grow.

[Chaomancer Omega]

Thanks for the support, Twinky!

And yeah, it wasn't easy to part with these... or to just dump a large portion of comics which I didn't think would sell. But, in addition to the money, I really need some space cleared up. I had 5 long boxes in a room which would be crowded even without them. Down to three now; after these auctions, that'll be down to two, and if I can figure out a different place for the box that's just holding spare bags and boards, it'll be one, which is about right. (That box contains Transformers and other 80s comics, and anything else I just couldn't part with.)

I thought about advertising elsewhere, but really, considering I'm not putting a whole lot of comics up, I didn't feel it'd be worth it (especially considering the flaming I'd be sure to get at a place like Newsarama.) Main reason I even posted here is because I know you guys would have some of the same interests, and at least with you guys I know it'd be going to "a good home".

Yeah, but we're all piss broke.

I just wanna see ya get a ton of bids on these. It wouldn't be too much to put up a little post saying "Hey, if anyone's interested, I'm selling the entire runs of Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers, 52, Countdown, Shadowpact and Identity/Infinite Crisis. If you wanna take a look, check out my eBay page."

Maybe on Creation Matrix? Do those guys still read comics?

Oh and would you consider selling that box of spare bags and boards? I'm always looking for more bags/boards for my heavily disorganized comics and I always forget to pick some up each time I go down to my LCS. If you're interested, lemme know how much you want for 'em and I'll see if I can swing it. But if you weren't intending to sell 'em, that's fine too. I totally understand.

I'm not sure if they still even exist.

I haven't been around there since that one crash wiped out all the old user accounts. Never bothered to re-register, since I'd been gone from the site for years anyway.

Let me think on that for a little bit. I'd have to figure out how many spares I'd want to keep a hold of for future use, and also how to ship them through the post office (I'm thinking a long box is not the way to go there. ), but yeah, I'd probably part with the bulk of them for a pretty small amount.

CM is still up and running, actually. Though it's certainly looked better than it does now.

[KilljoyBob]

I'm pretty broke right now, but I'll let some of my friends and geekier coworkers know about your auctions, CO.

[Chaomancer Omega]

Thanks, KJB. I appreciate the help.

[Chaomancer Omega]

OK, the last of the comic book lots are now up. Sorry it took so long; I had trouble finding boxes that would be appropriate to ship them in. These are set for 3-day auctions so that the auction end time coincides roughly with the rest of the auctions, and provides enough time (theoretically) for money to be paid and received before Christmas.

[Chaomancer Omega]

Well, the first day of auctions, with the action figures, has closed with mild success. Thanks to everyone who has bid, and who is bidding, or even just wishing well. It all helps.

I did put up a couple more items today, as I just discovered I had a couple Playstation RPGs lying around that I wasn't playing. So if anybody's interested in Wild Arms 2 or Threads of Fate, they're up there now as well.

Sheesh, people just weren't buying those Masters of the Universe figures, huh? Well, I'm watching the auctions closely - hoping you can get the most you can. I'm bidding where I can although I'm torn between not having much money myself and not wanting to see anything go for too cheaply.

Just so everyone knows, there's less than 5 hours left on some of these auctions. Here's a few of 'em so you know what's up for sale:
Spider-Man: The Other: Evolve or Die #1-12 (Full run)
Green Lantern Rebirth and Green Lantern Corps: Recharge
Justice League: The New Frontier: #1-6 & Special
JLA / Avengers and Shazam: Monster Society of Evil
Batman and the Monster Men & Batman: The Killing Joke
House of M #1-8 & Decimation: The Day After
Solo: #1-10: Sale, Cooke, Chaykin, Allred and more!

There's plenty more too so get on over to his page and bid on stuff.
