Not surprisingly - no watchers

SSOConan is a great example to whats happening in the market right now actually. This series always sold poorly in low-mid grade. Heck even in high grade. Unless you had a high grade 1 or a (near) complete set, you wouldnt bother selling those. The Dark Horse TPB series on the other hand is one of my biggest and fastest sellers, both on eBay and (especially) on Amazon. I prefer to sell them separately as opposed to as a lot. On Amazon expect to move some of those harder to find ones anywehere from 30-50 in "New" condition. List them, wait a few days, sold. sold. sold Thats probably an indication that those are still great reads to some, but the format of a Magazine is obviously not appropriate for the reader and probably not to the collector as well. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Comics/63/i.html?LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_from=R40&_nkw=savage+sword+conan+tpb&_sop=13

Even if there's a shade difference it really doesn't translate as a "variant"or error. There are many many books with different ink tones. NM87, Demon annual 2, bats 423 come to mind. There are MANY others.

My guess is that Tina created the listing on her phone and uploaded that pic by accident. My my imagine the possibilities

Dont know if you wanna go go go on these.. Guardians of The Galaxy Mission Breakout #1 Disneyland Variant was a 25.00 book up until recently.. These 2 listings have them at 5.00 a pop http://www.ebay.com/itm/Guardians-of-the-Galaxy-Mission-Breakout-1-Disneyland-Variant-Edition-/272716088780?hash=item3f7f2545cc:g:Q0oAAOSwCkZZQECP http://www.ebay.com/itm/GUARDIANS-OF-THE-GALAXY-MISSION-BREAKOUT-1-2017-ANGEL-STADIUM-SGA-6-12-HOT-NEW-/292149737204?hash=item44057b36f4:g:nPEAAOSwAO9ZP0f4

It's a specialty/niche book. Not a wall book. Better results online with this gem. Moore/gibbons collab. Not many in high grade. Been a 50-70 book for me for a couple of years now

Depends on many factors. But it's true in regards to pretty much anything in life- it takes time to make money. Dedication. otherwise anyone could do it As u go along you learn the tricks of the trade that saves you time. You learn to search better. You familiarize yourself with good and bad times of year. Helps to know the area you're in. Certain areas I chose to ignore altogether because the competition is fierce. Certain areas are a goldmine

Wait, what?

True story this happened in 2014/5. Someone posted on Craigslist "free comics". Not the first time this happens, guy wrote he had a big collection and he's giving it away. I breezed through it and thought to myself gee, last time someone posted that I ended up logging 5-6 boxes of indie and valiant . Next 2-3 days later my friend Vince txts me (him and I are always competing for best finds, he usually wins) "dude you're not gonna believe what I have in my van!!!" I says what? "I got 3,000 books all X-Men Bronze including GSX1, Xmen 90-300, new mutants run including 2 copies of NM98..." he kept on going through the keys I was already getting a headache. I ask him ok Vince cut the BS how much did you pay he says $100. This guy was giving his collection for free... he posted an ad on Craigslist and I responded.. he just wanted to move on with his life (I think he was recently engaged or something but can't remember the exact reason)... when I saw all these books I couldn't believe it. he ended up giving him $100 even though the owner insisted he didn't want a dime for it. This story ALWAYS baffles my mind, but it's 100% accurate. The books were all bagged and boarded in AT LEAST VF condition. But it taught me 2 things: 1. NEVER EVER LEAVE A STONE UNTURNED 2. THERE ARE ALWAYS UNIMAGINABLE DEALS OUT THERE. JUST GOTTA FIND THEM I've had my share of deals. Some were ridiculous, although never as ridiculous as that one, just because it was practically free

Whatever dude

What a horrible cover though. The art wasn't all that either. I always thought that for such an epic book they could've gotten a bigger ticket especially at that time. that book was always a 10-12$ in NM for me. Has it gone significantly higher?

Maybe or maybe not. But never hurts to inspect. Just my opinion; when a guy asks for (impersonating Dr Evil) "$200,000" for a collection, he is probably clueless. Not to suggest hes not an avid reader/collector, but simply clueless with prices. He wanted to protect his investment and shot you a ridiculous number assuming you will negotiate upon seeing the collection. I'd take a drive and check the books and bring him back to reality. Would def be interesting to find out what he had, but hey, happens and theres always the next one

Of course it affects the grade or the label.. Incomplete

I just have him sign as Will Carlton and call it a day

This is the part Im having hard time understanding... When you first heard of this collection, didnt you go and check the books to see whats there? If I understand correctly, you missed the first batch since someone else was there buying some books from him already

Com'on Bird, shoulda had a clue when the seller txtd you "please reply with STOP to stop receiving messages from this person"

Do you remember off the top of your head what kinda books he had on the first visit?

The reference to Longshot was Art Adams. Im pretty sure it took McFarlane a couple of years to realize how popular an artist Art was and how easily he can copy his style

Thats when you call your neighbor asking her to borrow her cat and take a selfie with him on your laptop

Heres a manual scenario (pertaining to an ordinary eBay auction we all use daily): Youre waiting for last few secs of auction. You manually snipe 5.00 for a 0.99 item (just a random figure for this example). Then a window pops up telling you "youve been outbid" and it gives you an option "bid 12.00" you click 12.00 and it shoots another window with a higher price, and so forth and so on... Sometimes that 12.00 could be a much much higher number than you have anticipated and instinctively you may click outbid and end up winning at a price you never wanted to bid to begin with

not sure I follow, you mean eBay live auctions? never done those either

Dunno. I never bid in other auction sites

Art Adams happened

Between Infinity Inc and somewhere half way middle his hulk run, this happened:
