Hi folks

I have a bunch of comics I would like to sell. I'd like to work this like an
auction. I'll post 2 updates, both to rec.arts.comics.marketplace--the first 
one on the 14th and the second on the 21st of January. 
If I get a bid I don't think will be topped, I'll sell at that price without 
continuing the auction on the item. As far as I can see, I'll be the loser 
on the deal if I do get a better offer, neh? 

The information below is just enough to determine whether the comics are ones
you want. I've included titles, publishers (in most cases), issue numbers, and
original price. Original price, I admit, is useless when aproaching comics like
Sandman or the Punisher 5ish limited. ALL COMICS ARE IN MINT or NEAR-MINT
CONDITION unless otherwise indicated next to the title. ALL COMICS ARE IN
PLASTIC BAGS, but not necessarily boarded. I take damn good care
of my comics. Rules for the bidding are as follows: 

1) Minimum bids are original cover prices for all comics, period.

2) Round off your bid to the nearest half-dollar. 

3) Bids should include shipping charges--use your best guess. 
   If you want a single comic, and it costs $0.55, rules 1-3 end up saying that
   you will pay $1.29 for it. I don't have envelopes, and will likely have to
   go out and buy some to accommodate my sales. I'll do what I can to make sure 
   they arrive at their new owner's home safely, but no guarantees unless you
   are going to pay for backing boards and the like. I've got newsprint and
   such to pad the comics with, and I won't skimp. 

4) Quantity purchases will warrant a discount. 

5) I prefer not to split series. Quantity purchases have priority. 

6) $500 takes everything, no questions asked. 
   $250 takes everything except for the Batmans, Punisher 5ish limited, 
   Sandman, and V for Vendetta comics. 

7) ALL prices, including nqa prices (see number 6) are negotiable. I will
probably settle for best offer rather than not sell at all. I want OUT of the
comics scene. 

8) Mail your bids to f00022@tigger.stcloud.msus.edu  
   Please make sure the word "Comics" is in the subject line. thanks.
