  1. The smaller cons that have been held in socal have been great.  As far as the question do apps hurt cons . It just another way to get customer to your booth.  Just because you setup at a show doesn’t mean that customer is coming to your booth or you have what they want or price they want. The idea is to make money or at least that is why I setup at a con

    You made the post below in another thread. How is this app going to save dealers if selling books over $100 is difficult?

    fatlab123

    I sell on whatnot ..Its an easier app to sell under $100 and below books.  Big books are harder to sell or need be used  in a game type auction.  The hard part of the app is you need have a personality as it’s a live auction to help sell the books, just like ig or Facebook IMO.  One plus is when something’s sells  it’s paid for right away unlike ig etc 

     

     

    Selling books over $100 is always difficult plus for most dealers/lcs not the majority of their stock.  So if that is all you have then sell it on the boards or some other site where it can sit til someone sees it .  Whatnot , cons , ig etc any site that is temporary it’s always hit or miss if that customer with deep pockets is coming in to buy..under $100 is a bigger pool of customers ..just like $1 boxes at cons make up the majority of books .

    I’m curious, how did you make money using whatnot at the shows? Were you doing auctions during the show? Selling items you have at the show, or items back home? Selling to people at the show, or at home? Do you have a dedicated person for whatnot, and another for ‘in person’ sales? Thanks!

    First off ..if I was busy it would be hard to do by myself .  There was 3 of us but could be done by 1 person.  Whatnot is live so I would scan the booth to see if anyone wanted anything (no one at the shows did) then depending on the price either 20 second auction or buy it now. I see some comments why come do a show if your going to do this. Why not? You have all your books out ..not everyone at the con is looking for the same stuff but you can get some new customers by going live .  Its not just good for cons ..you can do it anywhere you have service ..more and more lcs are doing it . I’m starting to work with some it’s been great for them ..they might stay in business. Not sure if you been to a big con or lcs but not many comic buyers walking in …I love going to  my lcs but whatnot/instagram / Facebook help sell books just like these cgc boards do.

  4. I think the apps (whatnot) will save dealers and vendors at cons.  The last two cons I sold at wonderCon and comic con revolution if I didn’t have the whatnot app I would of lost money . Covid and everything else that is going on the crowds will be down this year.  I saw the Philly show it look like wondecon no one there . So selling apps will play a big part in people making money when crowds are down.

  6. Sorry for your lose …I’m in Orange County when I go to the lcs I’ll mention it.  Also his store was broken into on thanksgiving day so a lot of stolen books are out there right now.  But as others have said check online etc , but it was your house so they may just sell the easy stuff then hold what they don’t know.

    My guess is a partner company is saying they are CGC or something along those lines since CGC keeps saying they won’t be there. Find out in less than 24 hours tho lol

    So it's been a year since the Walking Dead labels started to dry up during the Negan Lives submissions.  We've heard several times that they have been planned but where are they @bigclutch? As a collector with 45 of 50 books in my set with custom labels, I've been patiently waiting.  (Note, all 45 except 1 were added during CGC existing submissions.  There was only 1 I sent to get the label added close to the end there.  I'm not completely nuts 😂🤣). 

    Would appreciate an update on when we can expect these to be available at CGC.  I'm sure the TWD Deluxe submitters would love this, and it would be great to have them on CVL exclusives as well.

    I would love to see them back… I bought my wd 1 just after they ended.  I hope with the new cgc owners looking to pay back their investment ..they will bring back the walking dead labels and try to get dc labels.
