How would you price #0,#3 and #4? What about #50, #75 and #100? What condition are they in?

Both #0 and #3 are $25 each, #4 is $20... All three are in extremely good condition. I bought them from a dealer a couple of years ago. No bends, no wears in the seams.

50, 75, and 100 go for $20 each, if only for the fact that splitting those 3 up ruins the run of issues I have. 75 is mint like 0 and 3, bought it in a set (although I do have my spare 75... might be willing to sell that one for $15).

50 is worn, but not horrible. Definitely isn't poor, but is far from mint. The outside seam is the worst part of it. Starting to show some white, but hasn't ripped yet. Like I said, 75 is mint. 100 is a grade below mint, but not by much.

If you want pictures, I can take them.

oops... Sorry, I've taken the entire set to eBay. That first sentence is actually a link to the auction. It has all the comics listed here in it, but it only has about 1 and 1/2 days left.

takut0- sorry I had to put this here. The reply was too long on eBay. I also can't edit my description anymore, but I wanted to make an announcement to all bidders.

lol, I hope you see this here... I tried pasting your message on Ebay, but it is too long... I also can't edit the page ><

82 has a tear at the bottom of the seam, maybe a millimeter or two up.
86 has a slight tear in the seam above the first staple.
89 has very slight wear in the seam, but hardly noticeable.
98 and 116 just barely have wear on the seam... If you look hard you can see a little white, but not much.

I'm perfectly fine with international shipping. I just have to warn you that it might get pricey. I know someone was interested in shipping to Denmark and when I looked it up it was a little over $100 US dollars. I'd suggest throwing the current value of this auction into XE.com and figuring out what it is in Australia Dollars.

If you do decide to bid and actually win, I urge you not to pay for it right away. I'm going to need to apply a couple extra fees for boxing and packaging (I can't edit the page anymore unfortunately). Also FYI I have finals this week at my University, so I might not be able to ship it right away. Might be Friday at the earliest. If you do want pictures of the specific comics, I can try to get the to you before tomorrow, but I can't make any promises, unfortunately.

I hope this mess of text clears some things up lol. If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know! Thanks!

thankyou for your response..Heheh, so you noticed it was me too asking the question (^_^)

There is a box you can get from USPS which is a flat rate box and you can put in 20 pounds worth of goods..So if it does sell internationally maybe you could use a few of those boxes?

But I can also have the packaged shipped within the USA as I have a postal box there too :)

But cheers for getting back to me quickly on the comics and everything..i appeciate it.

lol no problem.

Yeah, I'd need to check out the flat rate boxes. I was looking at the boxes eBay will supply, but they are too small to hold the comics iirc. But I haven't had a lot of time, so I could be wrong.

If you have a PO Box here, that might be even better. I'd hate for you to pay so much in shipping for these. lol, for the cost of shipping, I'd rather fly out to one of these countries lol.

Okay so I worked out how much 159 comics would weight in pounds...With backingboards and plastic sleeves.

In total it weighs 22.71pounds

Now these boxes take 20pounds..However, they prolly wouldn't fit all 159 comics in it. It's free for you to order and to "buy" as well 🙂
Link to boxes: USPS Flat rate boxes

Of course this doesn't cover anything extra padding you may provide...But I hope it helps..It does for me because if I have everything shipped to the USA postal address I've gotta then get it sent to Australia..lol XDDD

(yes, obsessive sonic comic fan)

heh, yeah, that will probably work fine actually.

I already ordered some free boxes off of ebay, but they take 5-7 days to arrive. If you do win, I can ship them which ever way you want.

also, just fyi the top bidder has decided he isn't going to bid anymore. I think I scared him off with the international shipping talk lol.

I did weight the comics already and they were like 25 lbs in the box.

So yeah. Good luck with the bidding... I keep checking on the auction, hoping it goes higher yet :D I was only expecting to get maybe $250, so everything over is just awesome.

eBay has free boxes? O.o; They don't offer them here.

If the top bidder pulled out doesn't that mean you're meant to pull their bids? Or they still possibly interested?

Ooohh..you wanted $250 for the collection..I would have easily give that..But ah well..I will keep my eye on the auction (^^)

I think he'll still pay if it stops here, but doesn't want to if it goes higher... Idk, that's at least what he said to me.
