DALE ROBERTS COMICS HOLIDAY SALE! PLEASE READ!

6 6

Merry Christmas everyone!

 

Its that time of year again! My annual Holiday Sales Thread will begin tonight at 8 PM CST. I'll be listing books for about 1 month. Invoices will be sent in mid January, and no shipping will occur until that time. So even if you don't have enough cash right now, you have about 1 month to save up for your purchases.

 

Its been a great year in the comic business. I have done about 15 conventions, and bought thousands of books. Many of those books will be offered here for the first time anywhere. I also have been working hard on getting my web site (www.dalerobertscomics.com) ready to go live, and we are very close. Hopefully it will go live by next week.

 

I've been extremely active buying this year and have been setting stuff aside all year long for this sale. I think I have accumulated 11 boxes of Golden Age, Silver Age, and Bronze age this year. There are keys, semi-keys, movie books, high grades, mid grades, and low grades, and as always, lots of books that you just don't see around, and almost all of it will be CHEAP, heavily discounted in some cases! Lots and lots of bargains for the collector, and room for dealers to make money. Lots of Neal Adams, Bernie Wrightson, Jim Steranko! Frazetta covers, Raboy covers, Schomburg covers, LB Cole covers, GGA, Pre-code horror, Pre Hero Atlas, and cool Romance books that you just don't see. There are large groups of early Amazing Spider-man in varying grades, a large group of 67 Silver Age Batman books, early FFs, early JIMs, early TOS. I can't imagine that you won't be able to find something you are looking for at a very good price. The pictures below are only a fraction of what will be offered, and there will be some very nice surprises along the way.

 

 

Typical board rules apply. is king! I welcome reasonable offers by PM, but not 30 seconds after the book has been posted. And no editing of I'll Take its. If you click it, its yours. Also, you MUST drop the I'll Take it in the thread, even if we reach an agreement by PM. In a thread this size, its the only way I can keep up with who won what.

 

Payment - Paypal is the preferred method of payment, but I will accept checks or money orders. I also do time payments on purchases (combined or individual) of more than $500.00. I prefer NOT to draw payments out more than a couple of months, and if you do time payments with me, you can't be buying other stuff on the boards, while I am waiting for your payment. And typically speaking, I don't do discounts and time payments together.

 

Shipping - I will ship worldwide. I use Fed Ex on large shipments and USPS Priority for everything else. USA Priority shipping begins at $8.00, and goes up from there. I do not use first class shipping for international. Priority mail is the only option, unless you clear it with me first.

 

Listing schedule - This is a tentative schedule, due to potential family or holiday activities, but I will stick to it as nearly as I can.

 

Thursday December 15th - 8 PM CST

Sunday December 18th - 2 PM CST

Tuesday December 20th - 8 PM CST

Thursday December 22nd - 8 PM CST

Tuesday December 27th - 8 PM CST

Thursday December 29th - 8 PM CST

Monday January 2nd - 12 noon CST

Tuesday January 10th - 8 PM CST

Thursday January 12th - 7 PM CST - Grand Finale!

 

If you have questions or requests, please PM them to me. Thanks for looking and get ready to grab some cool books!
