Why are you sorting by highest listed? Very misleading, like someone pulling up a chart of NFLX stock 6 months ago. Not highest listed, highest sold, and not 6 months, 90 days. The most important sales are the highest ones, not the ones that fall through the cracks or poor listings. I'd say the most important sales are the mode, or what passes for it, as anyone can get a deal or made a poor purchasing decision. If you really think the high results are what's important, then the recent sales of Turok #1 at $6 and $4.50 means that the speculators from the '90s are actually going to make money on that, and we know that that isn't going to happen. What's a "mode"? And have you ever sold books? It's a pretty common mathematical term. Thanks! (Although not at all applicable here.) Depending on what you're trying to figure, I would say it is. The most common value that a book has sold for is going to provide a good guide as to what you should expect to get for it, or pay for it. Now, if you're very patient and don't particularly care whether a book actually sells, then maybe the highest price point matters in that it provides a guide as to what someone who is not paying attention to average prices might overpay for a copy. But I imagine one would make more money (from selling more books), by referencing not only the highest price (paid by one person who now has his book), but rather the prices that people are commonly willing to pay. Assuming they had a bottomless inventory of said books.

Seriously

You started it here, but there were high sales way in advance of your comment. (thumbs u

There are no outliers unless they are too low. Now I get what you've been saying all this time. Nope, all sales are data points (especially those "low outliers" if you're a tight-azz buyer)

OMG A whole day without any posts in this thread!!!

you can hit a little link on the left to sort to only comics. And so can you, DF. What's the story with the Micronauts, Divad? Is there speculation surrounding Captain Universe? Micronauts was one of my gateway comics as a youngster. Yep. Some serious thought that he'll be in the next GOTG movie. But hey, I just follow the crowd. I pulled out 4 copies from my long boxes and two have sold at $24 and $32, one is on hold and the last one has a $30 offer on it. For a title that I thought I might never ever sell an issue from, it's really quite amazing.

You post these links like you're a genius and we don't know how to use eBay and yet you get feedback on how they could be better and you tell us how dumb we are basically. You have some serious self-esteem issues . . .

Micronauts #8 continues to roll.

It's real of course, just not published in 1993. Why don't you think it was published in 1993? Because there's no evidence that it was. Fair enough. But. 65 episodes had aired by Sep 1993, with Harley's first appearance being in 'Joker's Favour', Sep 11, 1992. As we all know, cartoons aren't just about entertainment, they're also about selling merchandise. The toys, for example, were out in '92 or '93, depending on who you ask. I'm not advocating that this coloring book is collectable. I'm just saying, as a BTAS buff, it could have been published in '93. If you want to make money from a successful cartoon, you'd be getting every bit of merchandise you can out there, pronto. considering i was literally watching BTAS about a month ago, i recall Harley first appeared in the Second season of BTAS. she had a very small part. and i believe that was around 92-93. As far a coloring book goes, i doubt it'll start catching any value.... i don't believe CGC will start grading coloring books, and quite frankly its ridiculous to think people would actually spend any coin on a coloring book with her in it... besides those hard core Harley fans. Except that some enterprising dealer has already sold one for $40, and is now pitching a copy for $85.

Yes, that's what he meant. But you have to look at the bigger picture, not just what happened in the last week (and you're not really interested in the "dinky" sales.

That was hyperbole . . . and the key word in your statement is "guess".

Frankly, this is just fanboy porno . . .

It's better to search with newest listings first. Uh, no it isn't. The 90-day sold window is a much better trend indicator than a "newest listings" sort.

another one popped up, with a higher price - same seller As I suspected, there is no copyright record for this publication. This book could have literally been printed yesterday. He's already sold one for $39.99 and now has one for sale at $84.99: Batman Adventures Coloring Book Some people will stop at nothing to bilk the buying public out of every available nickel. Anyone who buys this item is a complete insufficiently_thoughtful_person.

I agree there may be some variance, but what all of a sudden distinguishes between "publish date" and "on the street"? Nothing. Publish date = distribution (to public) date.

It's better to run the search using sold items with price highest: Cap 168
