Same here, but I have fun doing it.

Why are Copics so expensive anyways?
Yes, they're good but I don't find them to be that much better than the old Letraset Trias (RIP) with the literal TRI-TIPS...
And they are water-based, no?
They are water-based, and I'm not sure what the difference is between them and the old Letraset markers - as I've never used the latter. Looking at the Letraset markers, my guess is that they lay down ink like Prismacolor markers (very opaque and saturated) - the Copics lay down color in a more translucent fashion, and allow for more build up of color to achieve maximum saturation.
How this translates into being more expensive, I'm not sure.
They are kinda pricey outside of Ebay, but if you know the color you want, and you can wait - you can usually get them from $3-$5 shipped on the 'Bay. Michaels has them for $8 a whack, and I only go there if I am in dire need of a color immediately.
I may have missed something but Copics are alcohol based and I agree they are quite expensive. One of the things that makes them so costly I believe is the consistency of the colors. A lot of markers that are supposed to be the same color are usually a little but different, I have never seen this with a Copic marker. Also, I think the fact that you can replace the nibs and refill them adds tot he cost since you do not have to buy a new one everything the ink runs out.

Here are two of my latest:
I made this one for a friend of mine. Her three-year-old gets mad and tells his little sister "Wonder Woman is not an Avenger!"
The next one is something I was having a little fun with:

I like it. You seem to have a strong leaning towards design. What happened on that Gorilla one ? Looks like one of you kids got ahold of it before you finished
Yea, I know... you meant to do that
I actually did. I like to draw stuff like that on old comic book backing boards and let my son color them.
Glad you liked them.

I am not much of an artist but I do enjoy drawing and what not. Here is something I did just the other day:
Another I drew for a friend:

Very fast shipment, one of if not my favorite seller here.
-
I see your point, but you can simply type in his name into google and his new york office comes up. So it's not really a secret....
Yes, but some posters here would not have an opportunity to get up on their high horse.

Revat is a great person to deal with. Shipped my items very quickly even after I took longer than normal to pay due to personal reasons.

He-Man # 1 Skeletor variant is starting to hit the $70+ range.
I sold one a few weeks ago for $56, still have one I am thinking about sending to CGC.

Just sold a He-man 1 in 25 variant for $56.

Wool Omnibus Edition - Reading on my iPad. Pretty interesting story and cheap at only $5.99.
Ghost in the Wires: My Adventures as the World's Most Wanted Hacker - I have read many books about Kevin Mitnick but he co-wrote this one and it is very interesting.

Completed Color Spidey vs Rhino. -andy

Did that really sell for only $47.50? I was looking at it thinking I could never afford such an awesome cover. One of my favorites.

Nazi Zombie seems to be a hit. Every copy selling on ebay multiple bids.
These seem to be cooling. I sold 5 sets for $20 ea. + shipping last week.

I am planning a sale of over 100 blank sketch variants to help you get ready for all the cons coming up.
I will have:
Fear Itself
FF
X-Men
Thor
Wolverine
and many more.
I should have them up by the end of this week.
Thanks,

What is the advantage of a seller pretending to have no idea what they have?
It's supposed to make you drool over the notion that you may have found a rube whose comics you can buy for a song. And, they're hoping it'll provide cover after they rip you off and you report them. "Duh, I didn't know funny books was worth moneys!!!"
That is what I was wondering. This kind of thing seems so easy to see through though. This little technique probably worked way better 30 years ago when people didn't have the Internet to research things.

The growing trend over on The Market isn't a particular comic book this week but more about Michael Turner Variants.
I'm not sure why.
The Wolverine 1 is signed so that is probably why the price is where it is. Here is an unsigned for $2.99 BIN -

just got aload of Dead Poohs that were hanging around in my LCS, not major hot but easy profits i see
Ya, I just sold a couple for around $10 each.
-
Just received a couple of TWD raw comics. Comics as described and great packaging. Thanks!
-
I went to my LCS today and we were talking about ToT. The guy tells me they have a few ToT 1s in the back and asks if I want one. I figured they would be $20/$25 but the guy said he pulled them because they were not selling so I bought 2 of the 3 for cover. I would have purchased the 3rd one but it had a huge gash right in the middle of the front cover.
Kind of crazy how some shops don't pay attention to what is going on online.
-
I only see one on there that got $20.
There are some listed now for a <$3.00 BIN.
