We need a section that details how the hell to perform certain functions.

I recently sold the bulk of my collection roughly 250 boxes worth of stuff, 30,000 comics or so, and I've kept 5,000 of them, but I'm also trying to sell those.

First problem is removing the boxes and issues from the first sale.

I have deleted the boxes, but all of the comics were moved to the "unorganized bin".

0I sat there, for over an hour, manually deleting each comic, 100 books at a time, but having to click on the orange buttons constantly to expand the listings for multiple copies, of which I have, or had, a ton.

We are talking a repetitive, manual chore that is MIND NUMBING and takes forever. The result? I STILL have 24,000 comics to delete.

You need a function to allow us to delete EVERYTHING in the -1 unorganized box. If there is such a function, I'd like to know where it is please!

Secondly, and this has been an ongoing thing...

The rest of my collection that I have I'm looking to sell as well, it's basically all the stuff I accumulated after I sold off the original collection that I've indexed here. It's been a nightmare trying to do this due to the limitations of the site's ability to export information into a format where I can actually use it to help me sell my books.

I can't sort them by value, I can't sort them by their status as a key issue or not, I can't sort and set aside the books I have graded, the ones that are signed, the 9.4's that have much greater potential after press/grade, I can't sort by value and eliminate books that are worth less than $5 each for consideration.

To my very real-world detriment, the best I can do is print out the contents of the box, which contains very little info beyond title, issue, grade and value, and of course it's in a format that is not sortable as well, so I can't simply dump the data into excel. We've been down this road before.

I had John Dolmayan from Torpedo Comics standing in my garage Tuesday afternoon, all of us sweating our bawls off, asking me what I wanted for everything and me not being able to tell him because I don't have the ability to work the data of the issues I have indexed in the 50-60 boxes I have left in my collection. All I could do was print out each box and its contents, where nothing but the title, grade and price is indexed.

That alone took me probably an hour to do, just to print out the boxes I have remaining... 50 or 60, each with 7,8 or 9 pages to print.

In the end, I had a stack of paper 4" thick to hand over and was told "wtf is this?".... In the end no deal was done and I had wasted our time.
