hmmm ... USPS Priorty Mail + Delivery Confirmation + Insurance = $15?

Sound good? We might have to eat some of the cost, but we need to secure the gigantic sale with no issues.

Well insurance automatically includes a tracking number so the delivery confirmation wouldn't be an issue. I think $15 sounds about right, if it ends up costing $1 or $2 more, so be it.

I think plain jane is the way to go. I know what these are rated at, C7 on Bombshell, about a C7.5 or C8 on the others ... Although not completely mint, it still gives the buyer a feeling of "these might be worth more" when not giving the exact grades.

$399 start, $699 BIN

if this auction sells via BIN (and I hope it does), we'll should roll the dice and start the next one at $499 and watch it go.

these aren't the best figures. :hs:

I compressed the image down from 800 by 600 to ... 500 by 400 ... and again to 400 by 300. I did this on purpose to hide some of the imprefections.

I know these will sell for more than what we paid, that's a fact ... it's just trying to find the limit between sold it price, and relist it price is very difficult. :hs:
