I can understand someone like new_england and his thousands of listings, selling items that (in most cases) have high demand it's not worth the hassel, but in something like a valiant comic with a limited buyer pool, one or two buyers can have a huge impact!maraxusofkeld wrote:I can understand why, foreign bidders *SQUEE* and moan about shipping costs when it's time to pay. To have a tracking number w/global priority for 1 comic even to canada, is, I believe nearly $30 or more. So most people will not pay for the tracking and you can easily get scammed out of item and money.

With SNE its something else altogether as they'll ship to United States, Europe, Asia, Australia, Mexico...but not Canada.GGSAE wrote:I can understand someone like new_england and his thousands of listings, selling items that (in most cases) have high demand it's not worth the hassel, but in something like a valiant comic with a limited buyer pool, one or two buyers can have a huge impact!maraxusofkeld wrote:I can understand why, foreign bidders *SQUEE* and moan about shipping costs when it's time to pay.

I agree with the impact it can have. Back at around page 9 of this thread posted an email I sent to suestorm after their record low sale of 310 for a Harby 1. Not allowing International bidders is a choice though and with that must come the realization that the return will be lower. This is obviously balanced with the aggravation caused to the seller by some, but not ALL, international bidders.
I do not know about anybody else but everything that I have received sent USPS GP, I have had to sign for at this end. Canada Post also puts a ton of barcodes on the boxes for, I would presume, tracking purposes once inside Canada. Then again I purchase 3-4 at a time to save on shipping...1 comic never. It's just not cost effective especially from a happy marriage POV.

Harby #1 Qualified No Coupon from suestorm_comics serial #0976295001 [Green Qualified Label - no coupon]
It says qualified, coupon missing. But then it also says Harbinger 0 mail order coupon included.
Isn't that contradictory?

The things which are specific to the book in hand are typed in the center between the title and serial number.
Restoration, signatures, or missing coupons will be in the center.
Everything else is non-specific, descriptive of the book in its original form.

Hey, Maybe I'll pull a coupon out of a poor copy and list it on ebay as a Harbinger 1, CGC 9.8 with coupon!

Okay, maybe not.
