Yes. I never ever spend more than a third of my income from the hobby of the previous month - and thats at the most! I usually find deals that keep me very happy at margins of 3x my investment, some will flip in a week while others could last for months. If I had a quick return from the flips AND a solid month I'll invest some capital on spec books in the same method you have outlined above - buy them at a price I will never lose on, but hopefully make a solid profit. I also have $100+ books that I never ever go wrong with and always flip for 3x the amount, sometimes higher. Those are my secret weapon books. But even while they never fail to yield a return - I always never spend more than a third of my previous month profits.

Not random at all

Been a slow couple of months with a hiccup here and there. Thats ebay for ya. Keep listing constantly

So many factors here; Inventory size, spending capital vs monthly gain, spec worthy book (hold) vs dump casualties (when you have multiple copies of a book and sold slowly for nice profit and all of a sudden someone cutthroats you at half or less), rare books, SUPER rare books. Every book gets treated differently

Congrats on the nice scores!

So is there a batman adventures 21 DCU?

Great buy and hold item for 150.00. You could quickly flip but I'd aggressively price and hold On a side note, the joke is that U2 still havent found what they're looking for, because they spend endless time recording in the studio with some sessions lasting YEARS. Edge always said that their projects never really get done, they just get released

Yes it is a thing of beauty. Built in the 70s, vaulted ceiling, acoustic clouds, 2 iso booths, oak parquet floor... the works. We even had a reverb plate and chamber back when it was fashionable.. we built the room when Rock N' Roll City went out of business and we have a lot of material from there still.. our entrance door was the same one that Frank Sinatra walked through back then! We took down the control room a decade ago and sold the console since business was bad. Now we're strictly renting monthly rooms and this gorgeous space is rented hourly for practice.. oh and storing my comics How sad is that

Funny how I paid more for this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-Comics-The-Death-of-Superman-Limited-Collectors-set/173012346297?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 than for this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-Comics-BAT-MAN-assorted-1985-issues/173012130560?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 (seller combined shipping so disregard the shipping fees on the 2nd listing)

Shhhhh... our rehearsing clients have NO CLUE of the treasure hidden at the mezzanine

I love those. I always see random custom bound books on the bay. I'm not an avid modern reader so I don't make a habit of tracking them down but if I was I'd be all over these! Congrats

You can't lose winning is right. There's no one/safe way of speculating. It's always gonna be a hit or miss. But I always sell at First Wave Hype Youll MAKE LESS on some but you'll gain on ALL. So for example, if you have 10 books you bought for spec, and all 10 were "hyped", and you sold the minute the word was out, you'd make a premium (never losing). However, if you held on all 10 - the chances are that only one or two (or sometimes NONE) will stick, but then you would LOSE on all the other 8 or 9 books when their hype fades So the overall gain on ALL 10 at initial hype will almost always be higher than holding off on all and selling just one or two at an all time high. Sure it's awesome bragging about a 40-50$ book you bought at cover, but you lost and got stuck on tons of other books at the same time. Some examples of great First Wave Hype books that worked well for me: Outcast 1, WD 100 (1st & 3rd print), suicide squad 1 (Harley green cover), Night Mary 1, there are others I can't remember now..

Ive been looking for a high grade copy of this book for some time now (at a reasonable price of course) so this was saved to my searches. This seller listed 8 copies at 12.00 and then dropped it to 9.00, so I then sent him a nice Aweanlordered email asking if he would sell 5 for 25.00, being that I couldnt tell from the pics how good they were. He approved https://www.ebay.com/itm/Saga-of-Crystar-The-Crystal-Warrior-8-Marvel/182935546249?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 This is a prime example of why I love eBay. A not so common book which I doubt Ill find in any flee market/LCS/convention in multiple copies at a high grade Found online and sent to my door These are all going to be pressed tomorrow

I thought thats how it is with everyone, no? I have witnessed some sigs for both voldy & CGC and had to sign a disclaimer making me the one responsible for any forgeries unless things changed?

Wow just wow this whole incident is bad news for the industry and seems like the perpetrator doesn't even care

I find it fascinating that people will pay over 10k for a NM98 and less than that for an X-Men #1 mid grade+ I know that these are different grades but 10k is 10k

Gotcha thanks for this. It wasn't on eBay so I didn't see it

Here's what my records show
