An error occurred while saving the comment I am pretty sure the selling listings are not counted if a user hasn't logged into their account for 90 days. I don't believe it is the same way for wanted, but we can look into that as well.

An error occurred while saving the comment I am confused on this request. At any point you can add a comic and then go to your "my realm" to see things update.

An error occurred while saving the comment Click on the little blue image on the left of the issue number. You can then scroll through ALL images using the prev/next links. When you find the one you want make note of the Issue # with it, then you can click on the Issue # if needed.
There is no room to add the UPC to that list. Also not all books have a UPC as well as several publishers use the same UPC for multiple books.

An error occurred while saving the comment Right now it only has 4 votes. We work on features based upon the most requested.
An error occurred while saving the comment Did you try clicking on the icon? When you do this you can scroll forward and backward through all of them. Should also have the issue "number".

An error occurred while saving the comment You can export your collection into say Excel (or Google Spreadsheets) and do any sort of sorting/slicing/dicing you want. There really is no reason to build out an online reporting system that I can see.

An error occurred while saving the comment Variants shouldn't throw the count off. Each page has the first 100 "regular" issues. If one of the 100 has variants those are included too. So theoretically 1-100 is page 1, 101-200 is page 2, etc. The only way this gets off is if the series doesn't start with 1. If it starts with 0 or -1, then it might be 0-99, etc.
If a series starts with 404 then it might be 404-503 on page 1.

An error occurred while saving the comment There is an ongoing debate about this. There are several problems with doing this:
1. Finding a reliable data source
2. Finding a reliable pricing source
3. Entering everything
4. Maintaining everything
5. Finding a way to prevent causing confusion/problems for the 98%+ users that aren't interested -

An error occurred while saving the comment You mean on the series details page? We always display the 9.4 value. If you want to see the value in other grades just click on the value and a popup should show.

An error occurred while saving the comment You can already get the summary without scanning the barcode. The problem right now is scanners for phones recognize the 1st or 2nd barcode, but not the full EAN13+5 barcode

An error occurred while saving the comment I have given it some thought and there will be no way I can implement the ability to have a different price depending on who signs a comic or whether it is certified.
About the only thing I can try to accomplish is to allow you to set your own value. For instance if CBR says it is a $100 comic but you paid $400 and think it is worth $500 then you could set the value for your book to $500 but for the rest of us it would still be $100.
I will have to do a lot of investigating to see what it will take to make this change. Creating the interface and saving the override won't be too big of a deal. The problem is rewriting EVERY calculation across the site to account for an override.
You should also be aware that I am sure NO online price guide does this. Heck I am pretty sure NO guide does this as we all are guides. I might even need to run this approach by the Mods for their feedback.
An error occurred while saving the comment I understand...it would be a lot easier to account for graded comics then signed comics. As I mentioned what if the editor signs the comic? What if it was the inker, penciler, letterer, etc? I think generally the penciller and writer would tend to fetch more. But what if you get a comic signed by someone completely unrelated to it? There are a lot of people who get comics signed by Stan Lee who has nothing to do with the comic.
About the only way this could even be remotely possible would be if you chose who signed the comic and they just had some sort of multiplier to their name. But this wouldn't really solve the issue as if Stan Lee had say a 100% multiplier and if he signed a $5 comic it might be worth $10, but if he signed a $1,000 comic it might be worth $2,000. As you can see this wouldn't really work as I would imagine on the low end it is still low, and on the high end it is way too high...
It seems like the problem that is trying to be addressed is that the value of a given comic is listed as $x but you paid $y because it is either graded and or signed so you know the value (at least to you) is greater. But now the site shows it as a loss.
Honestly I think the only way to solve this problem would be to allow people to set their own "value" of the comic so when reporting your collection it would show what you think it is worth.
An error occurred while saving the comment Theoretically a graded comic should be worth the same as an ungraded comic (except for maybe the cost of slabbing) correct?
There is really no way to reflect the value of a signed comic. Some thinks it hurts the value. The bigger problem is how do you account for the value depending on who signed it?

An error occurred while saving the comment Actually you have everything. When you put in a Qty it actually creates multiples of that item. So you won't see a Qty field, just another row.

An error occurred while saving the comment At the first of each month your stats are calculated and you will see them on the left. Or you could export your collection whenever you want and can run any reporting you want at that time as well.

An error occurred while saving the comment Again, I would love to provide it but I am not sure how helpful it would be. I don't think it would ever be automatic, but about the best that could happen is that it would auto search for you. So if you entered ASM 17 the system would try to identify all possible matches and let you choose from them. Then you could enter the data you need to (i.e. condition, grade, pile location, etc). The tool would then save your book, remove it from your import list, and then show you the next item.
But even if it was a 100% match we couldn't auto add it to the collection and you would have to manually add each and every one.
An error occurred while saving the comment Currently we have some version of a barcode for only 22% of the database. A tool like this could be built, but it could mean that it only imports some of your collection leaving you to enter the rest (even might miss some in a run, etc).

An error occurred while saving the comment The idea behind "piles" is the actual location of the book. You have the ability run reports based upon publisher, etc. Actually you can export your collection entirely to Excel and slice it and dice it however you want.

An error occurred while saving the comment We already have an "event" report that should show you the reading order for all of the event books and what you own. You can request events be added, and if books are missing you can add them to the list.
This is not the intended use of notes. Notes is supposed to be something specific about the book...not to be used for further sorting/cataloging.

An error occurred while saving the comment Not sure what you need to scroll for. Doing a search in the header at the top of every page for "marv" gets you all of the marvel's. Doing a search for "dc" gets you dc...
Not following where you are talking about.
