I was thinking non-graded pricing. If I remember correctly from the AFA forms I think it would be about $30 each to get the bugs graded. I think.

If you invest a bit more, you double your earnings. :hs:

I understand about turning a fast profit.


Money today = $165 ... Money in one month = $400.

sell 3 at $400, you have $1,200
sell 3 at $165, you have $495

there's a $705 diff sitting in there. By waiting 1 month, you're earning an extra $23.50 a day. ($7.83 each) Can you imagine if a paper stock went up almost $8 a day for 30 days?

(you still have to figure in AFA costs)

KO Prime is running through release cycles. I'm guessing it's because there's only 1 press. Different plastics need to be treated differenly. (Clear plastic isn't the same as solid plastic, etc)

Released:
1985 Original style (yellow eyes and chest)
New Years style (blue eyes and chest)
Black (just like the Jafcon version)

Soon:
Red Foot

Coming eventually:
clear (all transparent)
chrome
gold
all metal
tinted clear (all transparent using colors)

If I figured it out correctly, grading all three of the constructicons I have will cost a total of $88.65.

That's for the regular clear acrylic case, the slowest turn around time, return shipping, and insurance on a declaired value of $600. Thank god the constructicons are a "standard" size, and not something completely custom like a TFC.

I'm going to go for it next month. This month is so completely screwed. The KO tapes, red-foots, preorders that came in, preorders still outstanding...:wtc:
