    One Man Comic Business

    I finally got off my butt and developed a real website - paying for ads and all the rest. Check it out and feel free to bruise my sensitive ego with constructive criticism. xcollectibles.com Here's my thoughts and experiences with this project. I basically know nothing about HTML or other web design language. I know you can DIY these days but I simply don't have the time or patience to futz around with constructing and maintaining a website. Just like I don't have time or inclination to do comic shows on weekends. If you have the skills all the better. So I budgeted about $5k for design, word ad management and google ad costs for 3 months. Ongoing will be about $500 a month, I can increase or decrease depending on how much to budget for Google Ads. I did attempt to create and run a marketplace website (most similar to discogs but without the community) but could not put the time into it to make it happen. But I did keep the website and the hosting alive - I think that was $100 for 5 years or something. And as that renewal came up, it triggered me to get going on this. I did not go through GoDaddy or any other large hosting as I wanted it completely outsourced and to have a person I could talk to as they did it. If interested send me a PM and I can give you her contact info. No SEO or anything as it will be a long way away from organic searches. Again, I don't really want to post a blog or get into that, at least for now. Simply pay for Google Ads. So far I have two collections that I bought. About 100 low grade Late 60s early 70s which did have an Irom Man 55 and Thor 168 169.and a few non key Spiderman. Then I did get a 35 Long box collection of Late 1970s to 1990s that I'm posting now. It's kind of a grind but, some success selling and haven't hit ebay yet. Nor have I put up any of the key books and they are pretty much all there. NM 87 98, Harbinger 1, Crow 1-4, Predator 1, X-men 266, to name a few. No Amazing Spiderman keys like 361 or 300. OO just wasn't a Spiderman fan, he kind of outright didn't like him, thought he was whiny - which is sort of true. Not counting the work involved (which is a lot) that should pay for the 3 months. It's not a slam dunk but fun anyway. I'm holding out for the nice early 60s colleciton.
