  1. You should send this pic to your neighbor, hey my dog took a leak on Spiderman I'm regifting these back to you!
  2. The maxx Glow and Valiants are amazing! This is a serious collector to have those gold books. Which gold holo ultraverse is that?
  3. I wonder if it's a one-off, common with foils. At CGC I have a shadowhawk saga silver foil, there's only one other copy on the census and I looked online everywhere but couldn't find anything.
  4. I see you posted your set for sale on Ebay.....curious how did you come up with that price? Did you get offers privately before trying to sell on Ebay?
  5. Does anyone have a pic of the Silver foil 1/2? I see on one the census, is this an error of the gold? Even rarer than the red and blue!
  6. There are many.....there's also some much higher beat up stocks with some downside risk, but paying out 20-30%. But if you really want to minimize risk, you can go Schedule 1 Canadian bank stocks and write covered calls for additional income. Again - there are many securities and trades, but it requires some due diligence and research and trade management (in some cases).
  7. Hard to say...high interest rates, it's a tough argument to make when you can park your money into something with a high yield of 8-10%.....either way, my personal collection I don't really care about the value that much (other than for insurance purposes) since I have no intention of selling. I'm just happy that one spamming clown is no longer here!
  8. Nice grab, if I was there I would have definitely grabbed them all for 50 cents. Valiant prices have been in the toilet, I've scored some of the rarest Valiant/Acclaim books very cheaply lately! Books that were normally impossible to find I have multiples of....
  9. Great haul! I didn't know there was a red box, I've picked up the green and orange locally over the past few years - I love them! I passed on a lower grade second orange box locally (should have probably bought it). They're great pieces for the comic shelf!
  10. That buyer premium is insane! I refuse to pay that kind of buying commission, it should be a tiered approach or what my comic shop does with a cap.
  11. Sales about double prices from 2020 seems like it held up pretty good to me and the high of this year is not far off of 2021. There are tons of SA keys, and definitely Bronze and Moderns that are far below 2020 prices....
  12. There have been moderns books that have stayed strong....I look at something like Bone 1. A very strong cult-followed book, with an ultra low print run, that has steadily increased in value over the years stay relatively strong. The insanely rare books too - where supply is so low, you take whatever you can get - has held up for the most part as well.
  13. I mentioned several times these prices were due to correct hard....it's not rocket science with the inverse relationship of interest rates, that pretty much all assets classes and rare collectibles especially would be hit hard.....it was really only that one guy pumping the prices of books hard that refused to listen.
  14. $750 US for what is basically used furniture for a very niche item seems really high....I think you need to cut the price down by 50-80%.
  15. I don't know what you plan to buy by flipping BS 1....a cut out of an ad from a PCH?
  16. Are these books not going to CGC? It's crazy to be selling them raw.....
  17. Dead end is right, once those shelves fall on you!
  18. Ya, prices are down quite a bit off the high. I just checked GPA and almost all grades are quite a bit lower than 2021 averages, this would be a good time to upgrade! If only someone had warned others that high interest rates and a weakening economy would cause a correction.....
  19. Well if this was a silver or gold, you'd be jizzing your pants if you bought them for $2! Nice grab....
  20. Don't waste time dealing with low ballers....what's annoying for me is when people ask 'what's the lowest you'll take' or 'do you accept offers' both on items with a fixed price. In most cases the fixed price is very low and in some auctions, at a price that's so low I don't even list any more listings in that price range since it's not worth my time. In both cases I just ignore the messages, not worth it. I price these to sell, if people don't like it, then can move on.
  21. You're really overthinking this. To quote Joey above, 'Bottom line is that it’s never good to change the rules in the middle of playing the game.'
