  1. Why ? It just proves (again) that the "PQ" on the label isn't what makes or breaks a book. -J. Cause this would be a data point you would cherry pick to try and prove your argument.
  2. Too bad GPA will show a bad result for OW/W pages vs its CR/OW counterparts.
  3. I Going to overcharge must customers just to prove you guys wrong.
  4. I have a new challenge for you. Stop making these stupid deals. You're in a hole, your goal should be to get out of that hole by buying sure things that you can turn over quickly ASAP. The goal should not be buying low grade semi keys with pink writing all over them and then "hoping" to make a small profit within 5 months. I know how you plan on marketing this book and I don't think it's a good idea...seriously. It's not like I knew this comic would appear and I sold my last asm 101 in a weeks time. This will take a bit longer but I can do it. That hulk 180 is a example of something I want to turn over asap. The Hulk 180 is an example of something you should try to repeat as much as possible. You need to stop buying these other stupid books that are not going to help. That was blunt but I agree in my situation I should buy books that are quick flips with profit not something that I'll sell at a profit something in the future. So does that mean you understand why dv3 was not a good purchase yet?
  5. Mine from 7/29 shipped today so should ship mid November for you.
  6. That's because as it stands the only thing to do with aphra and hype is she is to be getting her own solo comic title (as per a leaked image and a tweet). No movie, no TV show.
  7. December 2nd isn't that far off and neither is halloween. That said it's not like I'm going to hold the comic forever, as soon as I get the chance to sell it with the hype I will because it will happen. What does December 2nd have to do with nycc or fcbd? What does Halloween have to do with nycc or fcbd? What happens if your hope friend is wrong and your are waiting for months. Going to try and sell it or hold for another year hoping to see it move? Now the hype has died down a bit and you can only sell it for 70 shipped then what?
  8. He buys a bunch of books sends them to a friend in the usa, who repackages them and ships him "10 packages" to Canada at once.
  9. I like how some are applauding the DV3 purchase that "might" make him money at some point in the future. I don't think being negative by 4 figures should be buying spec books but hey maybe one day Aphra can become the next walking dead...or it can be like 95% of all spec books and crash for years.
  10. My wife will gladly sell you some boxes of comics for $100/box + shipping
  11. The point of this right now isn't to have it overtake my job right now but do this as a side thing. Getting out of debt is just one of those steps as well as learning to be more aggressive in my offers and actually understanding the market of the book I'm buying as with the DV 3 CGC 9.8 You are missing the point. Here is the point -----> . You are't here or here or here or here maybe here? NOPE Here? Oh there is Gabe ----> He is telling you that instead of "trying" and yes that is in quotes for a reason to flip comics. Get 40 hrs a week instead of 20hrs a week and your debit would be wiped a hell of a lot quicker. 20hrs x $10hr = $200 week...which means in less than 2 months you be but instead you keep on swimming up stream.
  12. Hey wasn't there a bridge for sale in this thread a while ago? I wonder how that thing is doing...or was it the swamp land that was appreciating nicely?
  13. hey - there is a P@X one listed for less than half of yours..... And if that one sells (or he bumps the price up) my book is worth $500 then right cause thats the cheapest copy right? right? I thought about pricing it like this. Regular cover selling for $70 Variant is 1:25 which means variant cover should be 25x more than regular right? there is another one - that I can get for $5 cheaper than yours (with shipping).... Mine has make an offer I'm sure if you offered me $5 less than that one I would let it go

  15. At the risk of bruising my "out" status, it would be enlightening if you provided the details of your transactions (i.e. purchase price, fees, selling price at the very least). Sure I got it for free and sold it for 110 usd and yes that's all after fees as it was sold at my lcs Finally, a book you didn't overpay for That's enough money to buy another Darth Vader #3 9.8 I have a couple other comics I got for free so I'll be cosigning those as well. Just listed one of my copies on ebay. I can even drive it to the LCS for you
  16. Nope I bought this book at cover price - 30% since I preordered back in 2015 before it came out. Of course I picked up the variant as well. Top gpa + 20 % doesn't even get it out of the box. (I set most of the top gpa sales on this book )
  17. If it was such a sure fire win why didn't your friend buy up all the copies? If he had 10 what's 1 more? If it's only 75$ why not buy it? Oh I have the 1:25 variant too... I can't wait to hear the offer on it
  18. He said he paid $75 for it...I really hope that included shipping. Not according to recent completed sales search on eBay... For the one sold today by hitcomics for $75 USD, shipping to Canada (I'm from Canada) is quoted at $29.81 USD via Global Ship Program. He gets the stuff shipped to a friend in the USA and then they send him a box at another time .
  19. Was the Darth Vader #3 only $11, or has that gone out the window already? I haven't been hanging on every post lately, so maybe that has changed... Nope that's the one I bought for 75 dollars but I sold my star wars 1 for the exact price. I know you said you research prices before letting your emotions take over so what was the 90 day gpa on that book? he bought on hype and paid more or less hype prices. My copy sold for $69.95 (plus whatever MCS charges for shipping...). He's gunna make money on the book at some point...you know if he holds it for 3 years till aphra shows up in a movie or something like that...
