You have until Feb to offload the two part set that's about to be supplanted though. And it's DC so Feb might as well be 50 years from now with the likelihood of delays or just straight up not coming. At least marvel people only have to deal with sell outs in the first five minutes, the books at least come out

Rhyno posted:Is it a one volume Absolute? https://www.cheapgraphicnovels.com/absolute-planetary-hc.html One big rear end collection. You know honestly the first 2 volume set might be what readers go for instead so who even knows if selling it off makes sense. Someone like me buying it to own it/collect and would just read it again through digital copies would go for the omni style. Hard to predict this one is an outlier I'd be tempted in your shoes to sell off the 2 parter and the omni and then just find a cheap pre-order for the all in absolute, you'd still have everything that was in the omni and be up a decent profit I'd assume.. Not sure how Ellis stuff sells zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 21:51 on Nov 4, 2020 |

Welp, I had promethea deluxe 2 flip into a actually backordered just kidding status, a month before vol 3 is coming out.. Then there's talk that they've canceled 3 collections including the 100 bullets omni vol 1 of 2 coming out in Jan that I paid for at tow. Amazon flipped those three books into TBD status today so that lines up. I have a feeling this is the tip of the iceberg with DC and things will be even rockier as we go along. Meanwhile the demand for books is staggering in a pandemic, really makes you wonder if the book department is such a small drop in dc profits for at&t

Let's see how it shakes out. YouTube people are saying dead but maybe it's just delayed. Trying to be optimistic lol I scored a seemingly great condition copy of the flex mentallo hc today from a collector directly so I'm happy (for 31 shipped and fees) And later on a batman tas hc art book from 1998 popped up on ebay for 100 and I jumped on it cuz I gave up on ever seeing that for less then insane prices in the 300-400+ range for a 130 page book. Seems in decent shape for a 22 year old book.. I guess I'll find out. I'm 36 and I grew up with batman tas and xmen tas like anyone else who was a 90s kid so this and the new xmen tas art book I also ordered are going to be like sweet comforting nostalgia injected into my eyeballs directly...

Are these sold listings? Usually the people asking insane 3-5x FMV just sit around while realistic listings sell. It's only worth what people will actually pay despite any illusions some of these secondary market flippers have

But all the sold listings I see are incomplete. They don't include the case or supplemental book and are selling for $150. So I wouldn't be surprised if I could get $200 out of it? Who knows with Ebay. I just listed the Young Avengers omni for $45 and had it up for a couple weeks with no bites then someone snagged it for the $75 buy it now price. Edit: Amazon sellers have the Little Nemo starting at over $700. It is a really beautiful book but it is so unwieldy. sporklift fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Nov 6, 2020 |

I wouldn't trust amazon's market either, it's the same people trying to mark up on ebay

It's an amazing book and I will most likely never sell it...but yeah it's too big and heavy to read anywhere but on a table or floor. And I think it's still smaller than the actual newspaper comics were? Insane.

my copy of kingdom come absolute just came in..the qa at whoever prints these for dc is going down the shitter for sure..brand new sealed, in the shipping clamshell and all: that slipcase might have exceeded some tolerances haha  whatever, it was on sale.. e: still gunna complain, screw it, theyll poop out a 10 dollar please be happy coupon ill use for something else Can we change the thread title to slipcase may have been printed while drunk Like it's annoying, but I honestly don't care all that much to the point where I'm gunna yell at the Amazon csr or anything, it's more like hey these retail for a hundred bucks, cmon now . Lets see if the replacement copy has the same dumb manufacturing issue, wheee (and in the ultimate act of pettiness im keeping the first ones absolute mailer, and sending it back with one sad air bubble thingy, the same way theyve sent and hosed up multiple hc/oshcs to me over the years lol.) zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Nov 7, 2020 |

I like it particularly because it seems like most people there are either new fans due to comic movies being popular or grew up with marvel and DC stuff so when an indie book comes up for discussion you get folks who only read like hulk books checking out alan moore for the first time and having their minds blown. It's fun to watch. It's also easier to get said indie books in sale posts then anywhere else in my experience, hence getting flex mentallo from a real person who also likes it and not a scalper

zer0spunk posted:i saw lou post a poo poo ton of singles in there today so that was cool..convergence I think it depends on how tight the binding is. Those Dark Horse omnibuses come in at around 500 pages, but if you try to crack them open without stretching the spine the joints will come loose immediately. But for your average Marvel/DC/Image OHC I think opening it up without stretching the spine is totally okay. I've noticed that Image OHCs have really weak joints, though. I treated Descender Book 1 really well and the joint of the back came loose anyway.

It looks like the hc 2 book box set of Neat Stuff took a price dive basically anywhere that sells it so I ordered it for a song. Wondering if that's a move to get people pumped for the 3 book Hate hc set that comes out in a month. I know I'm going to try and snag that, so it worked. Plus Fantagraphics puts out really nice books :p It's the exact size of the disney duck/mickey hcs they put out if you have one of those. and I'm about to order a new bookcase haha, nothing fancy, something tall and skinny to fit in the few remaining places with space..that was quick though. also threw in a preorder for this ralph steadman hc artbook coming out tomorrow https://www.chroniclebooks.com/collections/upcoming/products/ralph-steadman discount code "mobile30" is 30% and they do free ground shipping making it cheaper then CGN & shipping..IST might be cheaper than that discount, but I don't know that they carry this..kinda hit or miss with artbooks, and you'd still be under the free shipping threshold. big well done art books are my jam and steadman is obviously solid, should be a good book zer0spunk fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Nov 9, 2020 |
