5/20/2019 Topic: trying to figure out conditions on comics Xamial	Hi im going through about 1100 comics and just trying to throw a quick condition on them before I learn more about doing it. any tips? like for example, I know 9.4m is supposedly new from the comic store condition, but what would make the difference between fine and mint and fine and good. below are a couple of examples. any tips or pointers would be great, like when the spine is toward the top of the comic does it automatically become "x" condition? Thanks ahead of time.and another edited by xamial on 5/20/2019

7/18/2019 Topic: Spider-Man Far from home Xamial	So I picked up a few...(10) copies of this book from Dollar General. Its numbered as Custom Edition 1. At the bottom is the Kelloggs logo next to Literacy Foundation logo. On the very bottom it goes on to say that its presented by Kelloggs a proud sponsor of the dollar general literacy foundation. The book does state not for resale. Inside it states published as a one shot, June 2019.

I cannot pay to have them graded. I am making a list, (here now, paid for membership), but how do I sell them? Will they sell with my opinion of condition? I have read, and reread, the grading scale. Where do you live? Maybe one of us, on here, live near you and would buy the whole lot off you at a fair price. (so you don't have to go through all the trouble of learning how to grade and input in all the books) ……… Just a thought. That's not a bad idea, I have 1200 comics (been collecting since I was 12) that I need to get rid of asap. I'm in texas if anyone else is close.
9/30/2019 Topic: Technical issues with inbox Xamial	Hey there. I'm reporting a bug in the system, it started about a week and a half ago I think. Whenever someone send me a message I get notified through my email as a back up. Whenever I come to the site and hit inbox it says 0 and also has nothing underneath about the subject of the message. I have to click on see all messages to get to the message. If I didnt get them sent to my email I wouldve never known I had any messages at all. Please fix this. Brian Well, its been up for months now and doesn't seem to have caught anyone's eye. User error? This topic i mean. edited by Xamial on 12/9/2020 edited by Xamial on 12/9/2020

Go to the specific issue, then click on the values tab. Above the graded values area you'll see a link for suggesting a value change.

3/8/2020 Topic: Seller's comic grading Xamial	Ronbatman wrote: The feedback system has been in place for about 6 months so take that into consideration. Some sellers haven't sold that many books in 6 months while others have feedbacks in the thousands. We saw the need for more accountability from sellers and are continuing to build safety nets. I think our next step will be related to the responsiveness of sellers in answering customers. We recommend using Paypal to pay for your items. If you have any difficulties work with the seller and then come to us. We've taken down all sales from sellers who weren't serious about selling, who didn't respond or were shady in their practices. Ron I'm a seller of my personal collection and will admit that I'm not that skilled too far in grading. one of the things I do is obtain my buyers email or phone number so that I can send pics and tell them what I personally would grade it as and they can see what I'm looking at. This way almost no problem with the buyer not getting what they expected. And by discussing what each of us sees and knows helps me in the learning process as well.
3/8/2020 Topic: CPG Sellers Posting Feedback to CPG Buyers Xamial	kds_comics wrote: Not an admin - but here goes... There should be a "feedback" pop up or embedded web item to do so after you select "received" comics from sales transactions on CPG. You can't randomly leave feedback - I believe it has to be from a transaction between members. Select "About" and then "How to Use CPG" from the main menu. More here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KcT-x88JfQ&list=PL3eOHtGDGIs2A7_jQdSV_ZuYxTmGfs1W1&index=6&t=0s I think this has it in there - unable to check right now. KDS A feedback window does pop up but it's just a message intended to the seller. It is not a place to leave a seller rating or review. I'm trying to figure out how a buyer can leave a rating because none of my buyers this last week were able to leave ratings or reviews.
7/14/2020 Topic: Can I Tell If Its Been Sold??? Xamial	so i have someone interested in an issue that i have up for sale. but when i went to pull it its not where its supposed to be. I very rarely misfile anything and i seem to vaguely remember someone interested in the same issue about 6 months ago. So my question is, is there a way to go back and see ALL of the sales youve made from the beginning? or do they disappear like the items in the limbo box?
11/4/2020 Topic: How to grade this Xamial	I have an issue of amazing Spiderman Annual #5 and don't know how to properly grade it, the book itself, no 0roblem, I can grade that but whats throwing me off is there's a signature on it that doesn't seem to be anybody spectacular or even from the comic publishing community. I think the previous owner signed it for whatever reason as far as I can tell. Its a really nice signature, but alas, noone special. So how much do you deduct for a comic with a nobodies signature on it? If you go to my display case itz the first book.
11/9/2020 Topic: How to grade this Xamial	Dal1283 wrote: You should post a picture of the signature. It's possible that it's not a nobody...just someone with a weird signature. Someone here might be able to tell. I dont know how to post a pic on this board but it is my cover in my display case. Can anyone tell me how to post a pic here pleease?
11/9/2020 Topic: How to grade this Xamial	glorkar wrote: Looks like it says Raymond Schiveley, yeah? Glorkar...yes that seems to be what it says to me as well. I did an equivalent of a truthfinders report on him. He lived in the area of the comic store i worked at as a kid, which is also where I bought the book. Unfortunately he is deceased. I reached out to his family to try to dig a little deeper but they were kind of freaked out that I "bunted" them down. They didn't care to give me any information on him. I even offered for them to purchase the book for nearly nothing, such apparently he really liked that issue, so much so he decided to sign it. But they declined probably thought I was trying to run a scam or something. If someone were to contact me with a collectable that my father or grandfather had owned when he was younger id buy it. I dont think I was out of line. I was very honest and forthcoming with any information they asked me. Oh well, their loss i guess.

11/9/2020 Topic: Selling a run Xamial	backbone wrote: Thanks I've tried that a few times trying to sell a complete collection and some runs but never got any messages or even hints that my messages were even looked at. Do people even check the classified s anymore? Someone should make that question a vote yes or no. I grant my permission. "I HAVE ISSUES YOU WANT! I have more issues of this series that may yet have been put up for sale, but I ensure you they are for sale. All issues in my collection are for sale wether they are on the for sale list or not. Please see my profile to check out the collection for anything you need or want.
11/9/2020 Topic: site stuff that's overdue to be fixed Xamial	NEW POST PLEASE RESPOND I have 2 issues id like to bring up. 1.Can we please add to mobile site the action or option to review and comment at the end of a complete transaction? Alot of times I dont get a review after a completed sale is because the buyer checked the books in as received but did it fromm his mobile not his desktop, so never was even given the option to review or not. 2. I forgot hold on a sec...can we please...(this may be a case of ignorance on my part, if so just give me some direction. When in forums I think we should be able to bookmark or dog-eared or subscribe...whatever you wish to call it...for posts that we would like to be able to easily get back to. Like my own posts, I have to search all users, type in my own handle, search for it, then click on my posts, then read through all my old posts to find tge one im looking for. That doesn't seem like a hard fix. Ok, thanks guys, love the site!!! But extremely dislike the app. I want my dollar back. All you can do is see your own collection. I do alot of things on site so to be able to do some of it from the app would make the app useful, at the moment I dont even have it installed anymore because I deemed it useless. Talk at ya later. Excelsior!!! Just noticed the share a link to this post but there's no way to use it. I click share, the link pops up but I can neither copy or share it unless I hand write it by ...well, hand. Lol Thanks guys!!! edited by Xamial on 11/9/2020

12/9/2020 Topic: site stuff that's overdue to be fixed Xamial	Ok, cool, good to know about the app. I know the pc version and mobile version are the same...mostly, I only use pc version when entering new issues or reporting that I received a purchased issue. So im not an expert on the matter. I think both versions work great except the problem I initially brought up. Being that if you check your books in on mobile (books bought through cpg system that went from offer to limbo to inventory) after you click received you do not get prompted to rate the sale good or bad or neutral and you do not get the following option to leave feedback of seller. Unless its been fixed in the last 6ear. Its kinda hard to see if you havnt bought any issues recently. I always tell my customers now, ahead of time, when I describe my selling process to them that they will need to get on a pc version to rate sale. That id really appreciate it, and even go so far as to send a message the day they are to receive their issues reminding them to check in from pc site please. Ige basically had to make it part of the selling process. It would be alot easier on me if I could skip these steps, not having to worry about if their going to actually boot up their pc just to do that or just do it the easy way...being mobile. Would you do me the favor of checking to see if it works now for certain? Or you can send me a void issue through the system so that I can see it for myself? Whichever way is good for you. Love the work you do!
