General omnibus & hardcover discussion vol. II

[johnsme]

fuuck me, that's what i get for bad managing my spending

They really should keep that in print since it's the best way to get started with his stuff.

Does anyone know if that slipcase with the four paperbacks of his stuff would would an equivalently good way to start?

[Iron Fist]

Random question, has anyone here from the UK ordered omnibus (or anything really) from InStockTrades? Did you get slapped with import charges or fees?

They're very cheap with the current exchange rate but not if I get stuck with unseen fees.

This one (although that doesn't have a slipcase)?

That contains all his Palomar stories from vol.1 (including "Duck Feet" and "Love & Rockets X") and (I'd guess) the first part of his vol. 2 Luba stories. Those SC's are great value, I have them as well.

Depends what IST does. If they put value etc. on shipping label, you should consider that extra fees might be added. Smart vendors don't do it, I've bought some stuff from US or Canada, and was charged only once, for Devin Townsend 'Contain Us' boxset, because vendor has put all information on package.

Also heard, but can't confirm, this thing is random: you might get charged or might not. Just drop them email and ask what they do to avoid import fees.

Somebody mentioned that you don't get charged for books in the UK for some reason (because they fall under some educational support law or something, donno. Also, sellers usually put a "printed papers" label on the box)

Anybody got that Metal Gear Solid Deluxe? I'm not a gamer and haven't played Metal Gear, but I like Ashley Wood and really dig Deluxe hardcovers. Is it worth it? And I keep running across references for a library edition--is that something different or they one and the same?

TIA.

Yeah those are the ones I meant. Ill probably get that.

Pretty much. Books are duty free and exempt from VAT in the UK, so you won't have to pay any import duty or tax. To do things properly, the seller should fill out a CN22 form (or similar) with the correct HS Tariff Code: 49019900 for books, or 49029000 for single issue comics/magazines (this is only needed if the goods are coming from outside the EU). Hope that helps!

I wonder do many of you show off collections on YT? I'd like to see videos with people showing off their comics, doing reviews. I know there are some people out there but I'm thinking about community members. Do any of you do it, have channel with this kind of material?

On the first pag of this thread and the DC Hardcover thread there are links to pics and some videos but for individual books, I believe silkcuts has posted some in the past.

There is a shelfporn thread for collections as well.

Fairly sure books aren't subject to VAT, so you should never get any nasty extras if the import label is filled in correctly.

Thanks, will check.

Good to know, I may order some haul from IST one day.

I don't own it, but I was flipping through it yesterday while I was at a comic shop. It looked pretty nice and was well built, so if you like Wood's artwork I don't think your money would be wasted on it.

international shipping is a bit expensive if you only want to buy a few books
