[Groop] Trading Card Sets?

[Tone]

Mark and everyone interested in Groo cards/merchandise,
	It is nice that Mark is bringing up his friend's Groo card sets
for sale to the Groop. It is especially nice because he is offering
Groopies the 10% off that would have otherwise been his finder's fee.
However, Mark did remind me I still have an extra complete set of Groo
cards for sale, which I believe I have already brought up on the Groop
in the past with no serious takers.
	So, perhaps one can say in the interests of fair market
competition in this "wonderful" capitalist society we live in, I would
like to re-announce I have a complete set of Groo trading cards for sale
as well. The main difference of course is the price I am willing to sell
them for, $75! Actually to be completely honest, the final price would
be $80 when shipping and handling is considered. That is $20 less than
the $100 Mark's friend is selling them at, or $10 less if buying from
Mark at the Con!
	In all fairness it should be noted, my cards will NOT have
Sergio and Mark's signatures. However, I do also have some of the
special "Images of Groo" insert cards for sale, which I will sell for
$25 each individually with S/H included. Buying a complete Groo trading
card set and/or one or more of the insert cards (as in multiple items)
will also result in a bulk discounted price. I included a summary price
list below, so if you are interested check it out.
	The insert cards I have are:
1-"Groo struck by lightning" by Mike Allred
2-"Sage with Mulch" by Kevin Nowlan
4-"Thinking Groo with sword through foot" by Dave Sim
5-"Groo holding lantern" by Sam Kieth
7-"Prancing Minstrel" by Jeff Smith

	Oh yeah, as a really minor bonus, if anyone wants an individual
Groo #36 - "Did I Err? #2" trading card, I have an extra if you want me
to include it for free with whatever other CARDS you buy from me.

	While I am at it, I might as well also bring up some other Groo
items I have wanted to sell as well. I have a 1984 11x16" Epic/Marvel
Groo promo poster, which has imagery of the Epic/Marvel #2 "Green
Dragon" cover but with a different black background. I will sell that
for $50 with shipping and handling included. As it is, there are two of
the same posters being sold on eBay, one for $80 and the other for $90,
so I would think $50 is a good deal!
	There is also a "Life of Groo" graphic novel I have to offer. It
is the soft-cover version where the cover depicts Lil' Groo riding on a
cart. I will sell that for $20 bucks total, or both the poster and
graphic novel for $60. However, if someone wants the poster and/or "The
Life of Groo" along with some cards, please understand I will be packing
them differently, so the postage will be separate for either cards or
book/poster.

	So to sum it up:
(All prices include $5 s/h to continental US)

$80 = 1 card set
$100 = card set + 1 insert card ($20 for insert card)
$120 = card set + 2 insert cards ($20.00 each insert card)
$125 = card set + 3 insert cards ($15 each insert card)
$140 = card set + 4 insert cards ($15 each insert card)
$150 = card set + 5 insert cards ($14 each insert card)
$25 = 1 insert card ($20 for insert card)
$40 = 2 insert cards ($17.50 each insert card)
$50 = 3 insert cards ($15 each insert card)
$65 = 4 insert cards ($15 each insert card)
$75 = 5 insert cards ($14 each insert card)

$20 = soft cover "Life of Groo"
$50 = 1984 11x16" promo poster
$60 = promo poster & graphics novel

	Interested Groopies should note: I will give preference to those
desiring multiple items. Even though I might be loosing extra potential
money if a lot of people all want just one item each, I would rather
deal with as few buyers wanting to clean me out. Besides it being easier
to deal with shipping to fewer people, in the past I have offered
various items for sale to the Groop and interested members never
followed up appropriately.

	International buyers: I might be willing to sell to people out
of the country for additional postage costs, but I have had bad
experiences selling stuff outside of the country where a month or two
later I was billed by Fed Ex for duty fees/import taxes even though I
was originally told in person no other costs were required! Prices
outside of the continental US will have to be negotiated.

	So, with that all said, anyone interested? :)
	By the way, some of you will be going to San Diego for the Comic
Con, so I will wait until afterward to finalize any deals. That is
because potential buyers may end up finding what they want in person
there, then come back and not want to follow up on their original deals.
Fair enough?
