šŸŽ™ļø Bodnar’s Bids and Banter Podcast - Episode 9: Smut Sells, Shipping Hell & Auction Trolls


Listen Later

In this episode, we go deep into the wild world of auctions—featuring smutty comic books that sold for thousands, a $5,000 Star Wars box lost and found a year later, and the team’s honest thoughts on online trolls, negative reviews, and shipping disasters.

The crew also opens up about the stress of packing giant pop culture sales, why photographing toys is a nightmare, and how it felt when one of their podcast clips went mini-viral.

šŸ”„ Topics Covered:

  • How "smut sells" dominated the latest comic book sale

  • A shipping horror story from Australia—featuring crushed boxes and happy endings

  • A peek behind the curtain: responding to negative Google reviews & trolls

  • The difficulty of photographing reflective toys and handling angry bidders

  • Why some buyers don’t want others to know about Bodnar’s… and how that affects reviews

  • What’s coming in the final installment of the McFarlane Toys collection sale
