Local Pick Up
I’ve already fallen behind on my warehouse updates! The plan is to still be out by October 31st of this year so I’ve already eaten up two months of this year and have only eight months to get the job done. It doesn’t look like I’ve made much of a dent but the important thing […] The post Local Pick Up appeared first on Comic Book Daily .
The Return of Richard Comely
Toys in the Attic
We’ve started listing Original Art (OA) on the weekly icecollectibles eBay auctions. It’s tough breaking in a new collecting bucket, you need time to establish enough followers of the OA portion of the auction but you also need pieces to put up to attract those followers. We found the same thing a couple of years […] The post Toys in the Attic appeared first
Extra Extra
I always forget to take pics of the warehouse progress, next week I promise myself I won’t forget and I’ll show you just how far along that big toy room has come. If I share these progress reports with you then I’ll feel a sense of responsibility to you, I’ll feel I have to put […] The post Extra Extra appeared first on Comic Book Daily .
A Show About Nothing
It Don’t Make Sense
The spring Toronto Comic Con went this weekend, I saw some pictures posted and the show looked busy. I’ll have to talk to a few of the guys I know that set up and see how it was, how they did. I remember back in the 2019 edition of this show, we had rented an […] The post It Don’t Make Sense appeared first on Comic Book Daily .
Tomorrow is a Day Away
I didn’t make it to the warehouse this weekend so I’ll have to attack the “heading to eBay auction” in the next day or so to get the lots ready for Jay to do his magic with. I didn’t want to go without a post though and seeing as how last night’s icecollectibles auction on […] The post Tomorrow is a Day Away appeared first on Comic Book Daily .
Auction Highlights March 24, 2024
I didn’t make it to the warehouse this weekend so I’ll have to attack the “heading to eBay auction” in the next day or so to get the lots ready for Jay to do his magic with. I didn’t want to go without a post though and seeing as how Sunday night’s icecollectibles auction on […] The post Auction Highlights March 24, 2024 appeared first on Comic Book Daily .
Fool’s Gold
Be careful what you read today. On second thought, be careful what you read every day. A couple of days ago I read of the passing of Daniel Kahneman, the behavioral psychologist that dispelled the age-old notion that people always act rationally an in their own best interest when making economic decisions. I’m thinking his […] The post Fool’s Gold appeared f
What to do?
Hey, Hamilton will be a good spot to be in to enjoy the total eclipse of the sun today, lets hope the clouds stay away, at least long enough for me to test out these funny looking cardboard glasses. If the event will be visible in your area please take the precautions needed to protect […] The post What to do? appeared first on Comic Book Daily .
What a Classic
The Women’s Hockey World Championship gold medal game went yesterday between the arch rivals Canada and the USA, it was an instant Classic, Canada took it in OT which made me happy, it was a great, competitive and entertaining game which should make us all happy. They say that when you write a bad segue […] The post What a Classic appeared first on Comic Boo
Challenged
Gah! Apologies, I don’t like missing posts. Laptop died on Saturday, bought a new one Sunday, the Geek Squad transferred everything over on Monday, then I spend a few hours Monday evening trying to remember all my log ins to every program and app I’ve ever used. This stuff ain’t easy. I’m up and running […] The post Challenged appeared first on Comic Book Da
Underrated
It’s official, we’ll be out of the warehouse on October 31st this year, I have some storage space lined up for some excess stock but it will just be space, no offices etc., a friend has a very cavernous factory that’s about 25 minutes from the shop, the deal is that I have to buy […] The post Underrated appeared first on Comic Book Daily .
Busy Weekend
Talk about busy, I was working Free Comic Book Day on Saturday and I was emersed in family stuff for our Easter festivities on Sunday. Too much food, to much drink, too much desserts all lead to not enough ambition on Sunday night to throw up a post. I want to start by inviting everyone […] The post Busy Weekend appeared first on Comic Book Daily .
Bright Lights
I went outside on Saturday night looking for the Aurora Borealis but didn’t see anything, maybe it was the big city lights, maybe I was looking south? Our big Canadiana Auction will be running on eBay from May 19th to May 26th, some great lots are being listed so set your reminders. Our old pal […] The post Bright Lights appeared first on Comic Book Daily .
When in Doubt
Apologies for the delay, Queen Victoria’s birthday demanded that I take the weekend off and do some lolligaging. We had a bit of a shock last week as eBay delayed our Canadiana auction by a week, it is now scheduled to start Sunday May 26th and runs 7 days through to Sunday June 2nd. The […] The post When in Doubt appeared first on Comic Book Daily .
And We’re Off…
Putting together a themed auction can be a daunting task, especially when there’s a flood of late consignments. We’re proud of our Canadiana auction, we want it to do well, so we tried hard to get everyone’s items in. I forgot the lot count, somewhere in the 230s and they’re now all up and available […] The post And We’re Off… appeared first on Comic Book Da
Until Next Time
Last night we closed out our icecollectibles semi-annual Canadiana eBay auction, 237 lots sold, some did poorly, some did as expected and some did fantastic. Thiought there was a good amount of strong finishes, please see the bottom of post for a few reviews. We’re right back into the swing of our normal 10 day […] The post Until Next Time appeared first on
Headwinds
It was a busy weekend, I had a few guys pop into the warehouse to settle up accounts, catch up a bit and talk comics. One popular topic was the state of the market, current prices and where the market will go from here. The consensus was that it will not return to the inflated […] The post Headwinds appeared first on Comic Book Daily .
Solstice
Happy Solstice everyone. I don’t watch enough sports, I hardly watch any, so yesterday I tried to fix that by watching the lads from the old county face off against England at the Euro 2024. Now I remember why I don’t watch sports. A quick update on a couple of fronts, the warehouse move is […] The post Solstice appeared first on Comic Book Daily .
