From todocoleccion, paid on the 16th, sent on the 17th, received on the 19th via Correos: Outrageous postage for a domestic envelope of less than 500g. 7.13€ merited no feedback from me. The seller refused to say how much it would be, before formalizing the purchase. If not for what others ask for issues 7 & 13, I would've declined.

Bought on the 17th, shipped on the 18th, received on the 19th via Royal Mail 1st Class (to UK address). UK eBay seller, Landaura Comics, not my first purchase with them, more like the third: Not sure I would've graded issue 4 as VF+, but they offer a good service overall. Price was tight, no sale here.

Bought on the 17th, shipped on the 20th (?), received on the 28th (!) via Royal Mail 2nd Class (to UK address). UK eBay seller, not my first purchase with this guy, more like the last: Last time he sent two comics, one was the wrong volume and the other was overgraded. This time one of the three was way overgraded (was to be over VF and turned out a VG/FN if generous). In both cases he took forever to post and was full of excuses, his only solution is to offer partial refunds, but one gets tired of dealing with these sellers.

Bought on the 21st, shipped the same day, received on the 2nd via USPS International Economy + Correos. 5th LS order to arrive (on time) out of 7 and in just 6 working days!:
A better copy than the one I got from the Spanish shop.
A replacement copy for an Ultimate SM they sent me last time with some pages missing. And a not so cheap reprint of the prohibitive Preacher #1.
These set be back for about 10€ each. Ouch.
Couldn't find these ones in the UK.
The CA and the Hulk ones replace low grades copies I have. The Warren Ellis is awfully drawn, but it's still Ellis.
I paid almost as much for these ones in postage and taxes as in the comics themselves. Still, the selling price was low, so I get the whole series at less than 3€ each.
Could've gotten a better copy of the 1st reprint for a little more, but didn't realize until after paying. Damn.

Bought on the 7th, shipped on the 9th, received on the 10th via Correos. 5th Monroqueta42 Comics order: Most of these were on auction, but I only won one of them. Many buyers don't understand the point of auctions, which is why they work for sellers. I let the other guy win the biddings and bought better copies of the same comics, from the same seller, at a lower price. I just made him an offer for the lot and he accepted. The other guy must feel really proud to have locked horns and come out triumphant.

Bought on the 3rd, shipped on the 4th, received on the 15th via PostNL + Correos. House of M Comics (3rd order?): Delivery took only two working days in Spain, but a whole week to arrive from The Netherlands. Being the "biggest comic book store of Europe", I keep an eye for the FCBD offers. This year, 25% off over 300€ and free shipping. Turned out to be expensive for the service, but there aren't many choices this side of the Atlantic to buy the complete Immortal Hulk series at a reasonable price. You can find cheaper offers on eBay if you live the USA, but postage and customs will make it more expensive in the end. At 6.75€ each, it all comes down to grading: There was also a bunch of free comics, like last year, but they're more of a nuisance than anything else, really.

Bought on the 23rd, shipped on the 25th, received on the 29th via Royal Mail 2nd Class (to UK address). UK eBay seller, dannyscotts, always good grading: Bought on the 23rd, shipped on the 23rd(?), received on the 26th via Royal Mail 2nd Class (to UK address). UK eBay seller, bought before, probably will again: Just the first one, the other two from Comicana. Bought on the 23rd, shipped on the 23rd, received on the 25th via Royal Mail 2nd Class (to UK address). UK eBay seller:
The old reprint is from Comicana. BTW, it must've been with them since forever, because it's the only one I've seen with the price printed on the label, an old price too, even at a 25% discount, I had to pay a few more pennies. Bought on the 23rd, shipped on the 23rd, received on the 25th via Royal Mail 2nd Class (to UK address). UK eBay seller: 3 difficult issues in good shape for about 12€ each, Bought on the 23rd, shipped on the 23rd, received on the 25th via Royal Mail 2nd Class (to UK address). UK eBay seller:

Bought on the 25th, shipped on the 31st, received on the 6th via Mondial Relay. French eBay seller: Late to ship and "quick" to grade, again. This one will also get neutral feedback. September Bought on the 21st, shipped on the 23rd(?), received on the 28th via UPS. 9th Walt's Comic Shop order: Some of the Inuyashiki had yellowish pages. This shop is getting to big, losing sight of details. Bought on the 28th, shipped on the 30th, received on the 17th (Ocotber) via USPS + eBay International Shipping + Correos (!?). American eBay seller (2nd Tony order):

All this means, the collection gets bigger, all the free space from the last update is gone. The smaller bookshelf was empty, containing only spare comics. These are now on the big one, but nonetheless over-spill and some are now on the floor (bottom of the picture, against the wall).
