Welcome back to another Cheap Slabs post. I laid off for a week as nothing really had popped up, but there are a ton of cool, and strange new slabs on eBay, cheap. Also, see below for an eBay coupon code making them cheaper.
So like it says in the title and in the lead in there is a coupon code going on from eBay that takes $5 off $25 purchases. All you have to do is use code FEELINGFIVE
If you want to check out all the CGC 9.8’s up for $25 or less, check here, but read on for the interesting ones.

It may be a code selectively given to some users because it didn’t work for me, sadly.
Well that sucks. I wonder if some eBay users got it and others didn’t. What were you looking to get?
I was going to buy a crisp-looking, “Marc Spector: Moon Knight,” #55 and it kept giving me errors.
Did you still end up buying it without the coupon?
No. I’ll probably wait till there is at least an eBay bucks promotion, maybe for July 4th or such. I’m not in a rush.
Didn’t work for me neither. Booooo!!!!!
On the brighter side, mike high is doing a 50% off all backissues (minus store variants and graded comics) if you use the code DCSUCKS!.
Yes, you have to include the exclaimation point.
Picked up a couple Kanan #6s (First full Sabine, first cover) and a Knights of The Old Republic #7…at least I think I did…they still have to go and pull the inventory…sigh.
Cross your fingers I get them and in good shape! Free shipping too as I crossed the $60 threshold.
It’s funny because I think Chuck dropped getting new comics to focus on back issues, meaning he already dumped Diamond, but is using the password DCSUCKS! because they dumped Diamond…… hypocrisy your name is Mike High.
I commend you! You must have the patience of a saint. I have tried to use that damned site before…and even tried today after you mentioned it. Chuck should pay me for simply visiting it. Most absurd/non user friendly site I’ve ever experienced (and always, always has been). Even today, when I finally found a couple books I wanted, the site kept glitching and wouldn’t add it to my cart, kept freezing up (and it def isn’t an inet problem on my end lol).
Hell with it…no money from me. I literally would pay extra on ebay than go through that headache.
I cannot fathom that someone who spends 95% of his time touting about his innovative approach to selling comics via mail-order/online, can’t update that system. I’m glad he gives back to his community…but…that site is an embarrassment to his company quite frankly. I was ready to drop a hundred bucks on some books I found…his loss.
I’m sure many have done the same…get frustrated and just give up. So much loss revenue just from being archaic. I rarely order, but mostly because it’s sight unseen and prices waaaay too high. The 50% off makes some at least reasonable…but still taking a chance in condition.
Fortunately the books I grabbed should have nowhere to go but up, and even if they come in not NM, likely will break even after not too long…
“I’m sure many have done the same…get frustrated and just give up.”
When I first got back into comics in 2013 I quickly was looking for shops to buy from online.. Found Mile High.. and immediately just from it’s 1995 Frontpage Design said Nope, Nope, Nope.. I gave up before even attempting to go beyond it’s front page. I can’t do it and won’t do it. I’m sure they’re still running it on 1990’s technology so it’s probably got so many security vulnerabilities. But you know, the site is so fugly that even hackers stay clear from it..
I was reading one of his posts in the damn black with yellow font. When I was done and looked away from my phone it has burned into my eyes and I could still see words/blocks of text. I freaked out because it took about five minutes to go away.
